Create a summary based on variables
In Storyline 360 I want to create a summary slide at the end of the course that I can then email.
Scenario:
I have checkboxes on several slides that say, "I want to learn more." If the learner clicks on those checkboxes, I want a summary of topics to appear based on the checkboxes they clicked.
For example, on a slide about making grilled cheese, they click "I want to learn more." On the next slide about toasting bread, they click "I want to learn more." Then, at the very end, they get a summary slide that displays Grilled Cheese and Toasting Bread as the topics they indicated they wanted to learn more about.
Is there a way to do this?
Yes, that's possible.
- Create a T/F variable associated with each "learn more" option.
- Give each "Learn More" button a Normal and Selected state. The button will automatically toggle between those states when clicked.
- Add a trigger that toggles the associated variable when the button is clicked.
- On the summary slide, include all of the options, with the Initial State as Hidden.
- Use triggers with conditions to show the options based on whether the associated "Learn More" button was Selected. (For example: Show grilled-cheese when the timeline starts if variable GrilledCheese = True.)
Note: Storyline doesn't have triggers that would compile a list with only the selected options. JavaScript can do that. Search the community, and you should find multiple posts about that.
