I have a timeline that has 7 buttons that users can select in no particular order. After they have viewed each of 7 screens of content and the coordinating lightbox (one in each of the seven screens), how do I make sure they are sent to the Conclusion slide after they have viewed the seven screens?
Quick question -- would that give them time to view the slide that the 7th button goes to? I just don't want them to click the 7th button and be pushed to the Conclusion slide without having time to read the content on the 7th screen. Does that make sense?
Are they physically clicking the next button? If so, then the condition won't kick in until the user actions that by clicking the button.
If you want an automatic jump to conclusion slide then you may need to have the trigger to add+1 on each of the seven content slides.
So it would change the trigger to:
Adjust variable xx Add +1 when timeline starts on content slide 1
Adjust variable xx Add +1 when timeline starts on content slide 2
and repeat for all seven slides. Then when they close the last slide (no partciular order) and return to that main slide the trigger would be:
Jump to slide 'conclusion' when timeline starts on main slide on condition that variable xx = 7 (which is would be as it is incrementing each when each timeline starts on the 7 content slides)

Hi Birgit
you could create a number variable that adds +1 when they click each button.
Then add a trigger to jump to conclusion slide when user clicks next button on condition that variable X =7
That's a great idea! Thank you!

Hope that makes sense.
Thank you again so much Wendy! I will try that today!!
