Disable next button until user enters text into all text entry fields on slide

Hi all,

I was going to post the same question but since a conversation related to this subject was already started I thought I would post here. I am having similar trouble to Marcella and *think* I understand and correctly applied the solutions discussed here but I still can't get my slide to function the way I want it to.

In the Self Check slide, I want the students to HAVE TO fill in all four text entry fields before they can move on to the next slide.  As Greg suggested I created a layer called "Unfinished" that students get if they try to submit less than all four answers. That trigger seems to work fine.

My issue I am experiencing is that even if all four data fields have text I STILL get the Unfinished layer appearing rather than going to the next slide. I thought I built the trigger correctly but I need a second (or third or fortieth) pair of eyes to help me.

Thanks in advance

Margaret, check the conditions on the second trigger on your Next button. It's showing for me that the fourth condition is "OR TextEntry4 != Not equal to (blank)". I believe it should be "OrTextEntry4 == Equal to (blank)", like the other three conditions. 

Good suggestion, Greg! Margaret, please let us know if this works for you or if you still need additional assistance. :)

Oh my gosh, that was it! Thanks Greg and all!

Glad to hear it. Thanks for the update Margaret :)

Fantastic news, Margaret! Delighted to hear you are all set. 

I ran into this same dilemma, but when I am trying this, even with the conditions met, the trigger won't work - any suggestions? 

Hi Sarah

can you see that each of the text entry fields are validating correctly?

Might be easier if you upload the slide for someone to help if they can work with your setup

Update: I did a sample based on your image with triggers and its working for me unless I misunderstand what you are doing

Hi Sarah, 

You may also want to look at trigger order to ensure it's set up correctly, as they'll be executed in the order described here. If you're still having difficulty please share your .story file here as Wendy mentioned and we'll gladly take a look at the set up and behavior. 

Sarah, are you intentionally doing this differently from what the original post was trying to do? In the OP, the idea was to let the "Jump to Next Slide" trigger function only if the student has put something in every text entry. Assuming "000" is the default value of your textentry variables, it looks like you've made it so the layer "touch" only appears when the student has put something in every text entry.
