System Variables

Hi Thomas,

Those variables are created automatically when you include a results slide, and can't be adjusted as you would with a variable you created yourself. There are a few tutorials here about the different types of variables you can add and adjust within your Storyline file. 

Hi, is it possible to use the name of a slide as a variable? I want to create my own menu structure. thx

The jump to trigger will allow you to insert the name of any slide as a target, which is what I imagine you want for a menu, e. g. If user chooses 6, jump to slide "Step 6".

Hi Walt,

Thanks for your answer.

Actually, I want to use the name of the slide to be shown as a text. I suppose that slidename is an internal variable because you can select the slide as a target.

In a quiz, on each question slide, we need to include the number of the current question and total number of questions:

Question # of ##

What are the system variables that do this?

Hi John!

Are you using Storyline 360? If so, the slide numbers feature is exactly what you need. 

You can even choose to exclude all slides except for quiz slides. Details here. 

Thanks Alyssa,

Like a charm it works, which of course means that I am using Storyline 360.

👏 happy to hear that, John!  Keep us posted if you need anything else.
