Timer and Slide Number

Hello Sathish,

Welcome to the community! Unfortunately Storyline does not have an elapsed timer feature in the player as Presenter did. 

You could submit a feature request. You can set a slide number in a course by setting up a variable, such as PageCount and have it either add numbers for each slide, by inserting a text reference on each slide.

Dear,
Thank you very much for your quick response.
Actually my team suppose to buy one authoring tool for our upcoming
projects. So I suggest Articulate storyline 2, but we need slide number and
elapsed time in the playerskin. Anyway please guide me to set up at least
slide number into the course by using variables. So that I can suggest to
select storyline 2.

Note: this slide number and time elapsed is one of the basic requirements
of elearning. Then why Storyline doesnt provide this feature??

Hi Sathish,

You may want to look at the thread here for creating a custom timer. As far as the variable, you will need to create a variable such as PageCount, and then add a text reference to this in each slide. If you have the trial downloaded, I could share a file.

Dear Emily,

Yes please share the sample file for creating a custom timer using
variables.

Hello Sathish,

I do not have a file for a custom timer. You can check in the link I shared above for some ideas from other community members. Attached is a file for a page count using variables.

just found out that you CAN enable elapsed time in SL2. 

simply create a quiz with 1 dummy question and a dummy result slide within your project, with an end-quiz timer and set START TIMER to First slide.

hide and move the quiz question and result to a scene that is never use/navigated to.

 there you have it, you get yourself an elapsed timer.

Thanks for sharing that here, Daniel! Very clever :)
