Add a progress bar to the Storyline Player.
Following along another tutorial, I was able to figure out how to add a dynamic progress bar to the Storyline course player. No more having to adjust your slide designs to make room for a progress b...
Great solution, thank you so much for sharing!
I have a similar problem as Stephanie, though: Is it somehow possible to include layers in the percentage calculation?
Example:
I have a project with 10 slides. Slide 1 has only the base layer, slide 2 has 10 sub layers that are processed one after the other. Both slides equal 10 percent on the progress bar, although slide 2 makes up a much larger proportion of the overall training. How could this be avoided? Do I need to converted all my layers into individual slides, then hide them in the TOC and choose the project.progress variable instead of menu.progress?
In order to do this you'll have to create your own calculations for the progress variable percentage. Calculate your total slides+layers, then you'll have to track the slides and layers viewed using other variables. Then you'll have to divide the slides and layers viewed by the total and make that equal the progress variable percentage.
Another option is to set the progress variable on each slide and layer by the using a trigger. Instead of setting it to equal the project.progress or menu.progress, you can just set it 10 (10%), 20 (20%), etc. The issue with this is that when they go backwards in the course it might set the progress bar back again unless you add conditional statements.
