Condition for multiple slides
Hi there,
I am trying to create a condition to only advance to the real next slide if the learner have seen all of the slides within a scene. The slide basically has 4 tabs and the tabs sends them to another slide, each time they click on the "Next" button, it'll bring them back to the original slide (first slide).
I originally did it in layers and it worked wonderfully but the slide just had too many layers and triggers and it would be a nightmare to maintain. So I went from one slide with 8 layers to 8 different slides. Please help!

I did this with variables. One way is to create 8 variables. Slide1, Slide2, Slide3, etc. Set the value of the variable to false. Then set a trigger to change each Slide variable to True either once the timeline starts or ends, depending on if you want to force the learner to sit through the whole slide or not.
If you bring them back to the original slide even after all Slides are viewed, then you can create a trigger for a next button. I would create a next button on the slide so you can have the trigger go to the next scene (or wherever you want it to go next) with the condition that Slide1 = true, Slide2=true, Slide3=true, etc. You can either display the next button or have the next button show up only if all Slides#=true.
Or you can display the next button, but I'd also create a layer that shows a pop-up box (a rectangle with text) alerting them that they have not viewed all content. I also create an X button on the pop-up that is set to hide the layer when clicked.
Hope that helps.
Thank you so much! That helped a lot! I am using the variables and triggers.
Thanks Sandie for helping out Cindy here!
Hi Sadie, thanks for your solution.
I am trying to do this but don't want a "next" button. It will just go to the next slide with conditions: when all the objects been clicked (or the variable is true) AND when the talking/voice over on the slide have finished.
I am stuck on how to go to the next slide with those conditions.
Try:
Jump to slide XXX when media audio YYY completes if variable 1 is true AND variable2 is true, etc.
Good morning
I am attempting something similar. I would like to create triggers so that the user can only access the final slide (save and close slide to complete course) when all other slides have been completed. What is the process to achieve this outcome?
thank you!

- Check the mixed Navigation in the sample at this post:It has four buttons that take the learner to different slides, and when they are all visited, a button appears that can have any trigger on it you want. In the restricted navigation, the four buttons appear in order, only after the previous one is visited.
