Using variables to have numeric value reduce in quanitity and also inform data slides.

Apr 25, 2022

Hi there,

I'm looking to create a set of slides that have multiple options to select from; however, one, several or all of the options will be assigned a numeric value between 1 - 10 by the user. The idea is that a value box at the bottom of the page (initially totalling 10, reduces based on the inputs above) and eventually once all values adding to 10 have been assigned, users can no longer input new values against the options.

Following this, there will need to be a results slide that collates all the values input against the options on the previous slides and shows various feedback depending on the total.

I tried having a go but it seems that the extensive possibilities of all the numeric inputs would require an impossible amount of variables and triggers.

Does anyone have any insight? Much appreciated.

I think you could simplify the programming with something like this:

User enters their values.
User clicks a custom Continue button.
Button has triggers with conditions that check whether the total assigned values = 10.
- If total equals 10, the user advances to the next slide.
- If total doesn't equal 10, a message appears telling the user to adjust the values so the total will equal 10.

As for the complexity of programming the follow-up feedback, that'll depend on how the options interact and how precise the feedback needs to be.

One relatively easy method would simply provide a separate feedback statement for each option, with the state based on the range of the value.
For example, change feedback A to state "low" if the associated variable is less than 3.
