display collected content
May 09, 2018
Hello
I'm investigating on how to approach a project I'm working on using Storyline 360. The objective is to build an interactive chart in which users can select (with input checkboxes) certain content and have the (collected) selections displayed elsewhere (could be a layer or another slide, whatever suits the job).
What I don't want is that the content is either hidden or showed at its own location but really is collected and put next to other selected content.
I was thinking that maybe using placeholders on a specified master slide could do the trick but I'm not really sure if I'm right.
I hope I'm clear enough for you folks to help me further, and else please ask so I can clarify fore...
Thanks!

Hi Peter,
You can use several text variables and triggers. Adjust variable equal to the value(text) which selected and you can display it anywhere you like with these variables. Here is an example I made before, let me know if you need more explanation.
I think I might see how this could help me. Thanks! However o do need more explanation. Also I'd love to have a look at the story file. Could you help me further?
Hi Peter, the attached is the story file. You may take a look first. And please explain your needs in detailed then I could help you more precisely.
Cool! Thanks again. At least now I know there is a way. Now its time for me to get my skills up to par ;-) and than decide if the work is worth the assignment.
What I'm trying to achieve is something other than text, also marked up text and text shapes. Maybe even pictures. Is that still possible?
I will make a non functional view so it hopefully clarifies a bit more...
Here you can see the mocked (non functional) example...
click!
Hi Peter,
Yes, it is possible. I made a demo here. Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
Hi Joanne,
Yes! this is really what I was looking for! I already saw it takes more than just a few triggers to get there but, again: It's possible!
Could I please post also the story file for this? It would help me a lot.
Thanks again!
Here it is.
Got it. Nice to see how you also worked with light boxes. Something will do more as well.
Gonna tweak a little and see what happens. For now: Thanks for putting me on the right track!
Glad to be helpful. Since I use light boxes in the demo, I also join this week's challenge. Well, that's a good way to use lightbox, isn't it.
Hi Joanne,
Yes it suits perfect to use light boxing here ;-) I'm gonna watch your challenge!
1 more question: I'm reaching the 10 answers limit in the question on the first slide... Does it need to be a question or can it also be a regular slide (with 15 options)?
Yes, you can use a regular slide. Just set triggers and variables for each option.
Thanks Joanne! I never thought text variable can make this happen. 完美！
Study your file also make me have a happy Monday, lol!
Owen, glad to hear that.
