Using var to adjust layers May 14, 2012 By James Kocher I'd like to use true/false variables to affect an object or layer. So basically if a user selects an item, i want a checklist to update that is not necessarily on that slide/layer/etc. The layer, then will display according to the true/false variables. Is this possible?
Phil Mayor Hero almost 12 years ago05/14/12 at 10:38 am (UTC) Yes, if you need to display more than one layer ensure the layer is not set to hide other layers (gear in the layers pane). On the slide you want the layer to appear use a slide level trigger, that on timeline start shows the layer on condition variable = T Hope this makes sense Phil
James Kocher Author almost 12 years ago05/14/12 at 10:50 am (UTC) Thanks, Phil. It makes sense, though I don't know how to show a layer based on condition variable. I'm still working in RC9, if that makes a difference
James Kocher Author almost 12 years ago05/14/12 at 10:50 am (UTC) whoops... just saw the "show conditions" option LOL

James Kocher Author almost 12 years ago05/14/12 at 11:47 am (UTC) So i use the vars in "physical assessment." the clipboard there will take you to a checklist. For the areas that you've clicked on, you will see a check mark. You can go back and do more assessments and the check marks will add up! https://elearning2.courses.ufl.edu/access/content/group/83c69a79-2eb7-479c-b573-2b0aca3959bd/practice%20case%20output/story.html
