Collating checkboxes

Hi, Jeanine,

You'll need to work with variables and trigger conditions to do that.

• Create a T/F variable (with an initial value of False) to track each checkbox.  
• On each slide, for each checkbox, add a trigger to the Next button that adjusts the corresponding to variable to True with the condition that the given checkbox is Selected. Those triggers would look something like this: 

Note: Be sure that all of these triggers appear before the "jump to next slide" trigger. Otherwise, they won't run, because Storyline can't execute a trigger after it's left the slide. 

• On the "results" slide, add separate text boxes or shapes corresponding to all the checkboxes. 
  • Unfortunately, since there's no way to know what combination a user might click, you have to assume it's possible they clicked everything. 
  • The objects could be set so their initial state is Hidden, and then plan to change the state to Normal if the corresponding variable = True. 
  • Another option would be to start with the Normal state, and then change it to another state if the corresponding variable = True. 
• Add triggers that show the appropriate objects based on what variables are True.  Those might look something like this: 

FYI: Yes, it's possible to display a list with just the selected items -- if you know how to use JavaScript (or you know someone who knows JS). The above solution is for using only the built-in functionality of Storyline.
