I need to build some sort of a counter, that shows constantly the time that passed since the learner began to view a certain courseware unit. This counter should appear in every screen in the unit.
Storyline has a timer associated with the results slides for quizzing - but I'm not sure that would fit with your needs. If not, you'll need to look into something more custom as Michael mentioned.
Actually, what the customer meant is to show the learner how much time has passed, and how much time remains to the end. "Time" means the unit time, not the actual time it takes to the learner, since this depends on the individual...
So, maybe a simple counter that shows time in seconds and minutes will do, like a digital clock.
Isn't there a simple clock function that can be started when you first operate the learning unit?
The results slide options is the only element available within Storyline - so otherwise you'd need to utilize something custom as Michael mentioned or look to your LMS for a timer/clock fucntion.

Here is some info and a sample file for building a custom timer: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/custom-timer
You could add this timer to the master slide so that it is displayed on every slide.
Hi,
Thank you, but dealing with scripts seems a bit complicated to me.
I thought there's a simple kind of articulate way...
