Create a button to reset the slide?

Hi Robert!

Sounds like you need to enable a retry option.

By default, the Retry Quiz button appears whether the learner passes or fails a quiz, but you can change this behavior if you only want it to display when the learner fails. Here's how.

Thank you for the reply. I will check that out :)

 

Hi all,

just finding out this thread

Is there a possibility to reset a slide from within a master page?

I have some navigation buttons on my master page and would like to restart a slide (generic slide, so not a specific slide) from within this button on the master page.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for reaching out here with your question. There isn't a functionality to reset the entire slide from within a master - but perhaps you could share more about your set up here or even an example so that the community could weigh in with other ideas or solutions to assist you. In the meantime, if you enable the seekbar as part of your slide you'll be able to use the rewind button on the seekbar and it will behave as detailed here. 

Is there a way to reset a slide back to initial state that has previously been set to resume state by way of a trigger and condition?  I have a drag and drop slide that works as a menu to 5 quiz items so that when you drag an object onto a shelf it jumps to the first question slide. After that question is answered, the next button navigates back to the dnd slide upon which you drag another object  onto the shelf which in turn takes you to question 2. After answering question 2 you click next to go back to drag and drop slide and drag another object onto shelf that takes you to question 3, and so on, and so on until 5 questions are completed.  After those five are completed, the user can click on the next button on the drag and drop slide to take them to the results slide. Now, If they fail, I want them to be taken back to the drag and drop slide to do it again, and I can set that up with a retake quiz button on the fail layer in the results slide, however, since that drag and drop slide is set at resume save state, all of the dragged items are still on the shelf, and I want them to reset to their initial state or positions. Is there a way to set that slide to initial state from it's resumed state? With a condition met?  I hope this makes sense. 

 

Hi Laura,

I haven't yet seen a trigger/condition behavior to control the slide properties and reset it to an initial state, but that doesn't mean it can't be done...just that it's not something built-in to the functionality of Storyline. I'll be curious to follow along here and hope others can share some unique ideas! I always feel like anything can be done with Javascript...so we'll see. ;-) 

I have a slider that I need to reset to initial.  I created a reset slider button that triggers to jump to the same slide.  Everything resets EXCEPT the button on the SLIDER aaaaahhhhhh.  Any suggestions??

 

Hi Julie,

When you create a slider, it automatically creates a number variable called Slider1 (click on the Project Variables button (see below) to see the details):

What I have done in the attached example is to jump to the same slide (as you did previously) when the Reset Slider button is selected. I have also created a trigger that sets Slider1 to zero when the timeline starts for the slide (see above). This then resets your slider.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ned and Crystal,

Thank you so much!  I Set Slider1 to 0.00 when the timeline starts and everything is resetting but the button on the slider just still stays at the end!  Your slider works perfectly.  Maybe I'll try a different slider options. 

I'm attaching screenprints of before reset and after reset.  The animations all reset well but the button is still on the right!?

Ok, I figured it out.

1. I had my initial value set to 1 not 0 on the slider so it was not going to go all the way back to the beginning.

2. I copied my original slider from my first screen where I used sliders, to my subsequent screens, so the object appears as Slider 1 on all of my sliders, but the changes I set up in the triggers refer to whatever slider articulate is recognizing on that screen, for instance, slider 2.  So, under my reset object button, I was setting it up to set slider 1 equal to 0.00 when timeline starts, but the slider on this screen is really slider 2 according to articulate.  So I redid the reset to set slider 2 to 0.00 when the timeline starts and that did it.

I wish I had not copied my original slider to subsequent screens, because it's always being called Slider 1 and I did so much work tying triggers to it that I don't want to delete and re-add it:(
