Get a form to show correct or incorrect input

I am trying to create a way for people to learn how to use software that involves inputting a lot of data. I want to give them practice data to use and have each text input show a tick or x depending on if they have put in the correct information. Is there a way to do this? I have been wondering if there is a way to set an "if" condition e.g if text box = set answer then show the layer with the tick?

 

Thanks :) 

 

  • Hi, Paula,

    Your "wondering" is on the right track. You can use a trigger condition to control when to show something.

    Here's the User Guide info about conditions: 

    https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/storyline-360-working-with-triggers#conditions 

    Something else to consider: Instead of putting the tick and X on layers, you could put them as different custom states in a base-layer object, and then change the state of that object based on the condition.

    Another option is to put both on the base, and set the Initial State to Hidden:

    Then change the state to Normal with a conditional trigger.

    Those are just different ways to do the same thing. The "best" method is whichever one you prefer.

    :-)
