Can only move to the next slide when on a quiz slide!
I am working on a project where I have a branching situation. There are four main branches and at the end of each one is a freeform text entry quiz slide. I want the user to go back to the main slide (3.5), but it will only send them to the next numbered slide. The only way I am finding that sends them to the correct place is if I switch the order of the "when user selects submit" section. Right now it is "submits interaction" and then "Jump to slide 3.5". Right now it will only send them to slide 3.9 (the next numbered slide). If I switch them, it takes them to 3.5, but it also now allows them to bypass the text entry all together (no popup saying you must answer), which cannot happen. I tried using a variable, but it does the same thing. How can I get it to go to the slide I want when hitting Submit while also making sure that they have to answer the question?
You're up against the built-in functionality of the "Submit Interaction [question]" trigger.
- If the question provides immediate feedback, the trigger scores the question and shows the appropriate layer (e.g., Correct or Incorrect).
- If the question doesn't provide immediate feedback, the trigger scores the question and jumps to the next slide.
Here's one way to work around that:
- Add a blank slide immediately after the freeform question, so it's the "next slide."
- Put a trigger on that slide that jumps to the desired slide when the timeline starts.
- If you're using the built-in Menu, be sure to remove the blank slides from that.
Another option: provide immediate feedback. Then adjust the "jump to" triggers on the Continue buttons on the Correct and Incorrect layers.
