Interaction Help: Make Selections, Then Selections Move to Top of Column

Jul 09, 2019

I need your assistance with an interaction, please.

The learner first selects the 12 boxes that apply to them. I need it to ONLY let them select 12 boxes, no more or less - I have a layer that appears when 12 are selected; however, if the learner selects to go back and change their selections, I can't get the layer to reappear when the 12 are selected the second time.

Once the 12 are selected and the learner clicks Yes, I'm Ready to Continue on the layer, I need the next layer to display their selected boxes moved up to the top of their respective columns. From those columns (of 12 selected boxes), the learner will narrow down their choices to 5 boxes - so I essentially will repeat the process (I think?)

I hope this is clear. I've attached a file for reference.

Thank you!

You could try this:

You need to track what's being selected because you give them the option to go back and deselect. Selecting should add points, deselecting should subtract them.
If you gave each button a toggle variable and used selected states (which toggle), you can set them to either true or false.
When true add 1; when false subtract 1.
When they redo selections it should retrigger the layer at 12.

If you do this, build the first button and get all the triggers set; then delete the others and copy paste the first so you don't have to completely build all the triggers from scratch. You'l still need to edit them, but it won't be as tedious.
