Visited/Completed Variables
Jun 14, 2016
hello, I am trying to set a button on a navigation page that will reveal a VISITED state when a user simply visits a chapter, and a COMPLETED state when the entire chapter has been reviewed. I know this means setting up triggers attached to variables, and I *THINK* I have set these up correctly, but each time I test the button, it doesn't work. I have run myself ragged trying to review each tutorial about variables, and I THINK I understand how to set this up, but apparently I don't.
ps: I've attached the triggers on the page with the buttons, and the trigger that I put on the final page of the chapter the button is associated with

Hi, Brian -- Thanks for your post here! Did you intend to share your .story file here? If so, unfortunately, it looks like the attachment you wanted to share did not come through. Please use the grey ADD ATTACHMENT button in the bottom left of the reply box and you will be able to browse and then upload from there!
Christine, the navigation page with the buttons is on slide 1.2
Hi, Brian -- Thanks for sharing your file and for specifying where the issue you are having is taking place. With this more focused query, I think it might be best to put you in touch with one of our Support Engineers for their insights on your set up, so I will go ahead and create a case for you momentarily. You will be hearing from a member of that staff via email shortly thereafter. Your continued patience is appreciated as we work to get you sorted out!
Hi, Brian,
BTW, another way to control the look of the menu buttons is to adjust their state when the timeline starts based on a variable. For example, Storyline will automatically adjust a button to Visited when clicked (if it has that state). So you could have a trigger that switches it to the Completed state when the timeline starts (i.e., when someone returns to the slide) IF the Completed variable is True.
Thank you!
