Variables in Storyline

HI Revati,

Have you considered using sliders in place of the numeric entries? That way you can ensure that all responses are within the appropriate range.

Hi David, 

Thanks for the reply!

The problem with sliders is that we can't tabulate the total and give them a result.

Using sliders would give you exactly the same result as the slider is just a variable.

You could use up/down arrows to increase/decrease the variable instead along with conditions to ensure that it cannot go below zero and just show a reference instead of a data entry field

And to tag onto Phil's point, you could even just use up/down arrow buttons, with no slider. to allow the user to increase or decrease a numeric variable, with conditions (e.g., can't add if variable already = 5), and report the value of the variable in a text box (%score1%),

Revati,

Attached is a 2-slide .story file that I think demonstrates the ideas Phil and David proposed.

That's really nice work, Steve! And to Phil, re-reading your post, I see I missed the "instead," and essentially just repeated what you had already said.

Hi David, Steve, and Phil,

Thank you guys! You really helped me out.

Really appreciate the support.
