Hide Next button until all layers viewed/visited
I’m not at a place where I can look at your story, but it seems to me that Karen’s option above should work. I’m not sure why it didn’t work for her, but she has the concept and the logic solid. Probably a typo-type error somewhere.
The one problem might be that the learner can advance as soon as they click the last hotspot, without reading the last layer. To avoid that, change the “when” part of the triggers that set the variable. Make it when they take the action that closes the layer.
I have no idea how to do what Karen did. The article on variables is confusing as heck to me.
Hello Ashlyn,
There are many ways to design conditional navigation in Storyline 360, but one of my preferred ways is by making use of True/False variables to control the navigation. Some notes on my approach:
- There will be one master variable which is responsible for controlling the visibility of the Next button
- Sub-variables will be responsible for monitoring if layers in the slide have already been viewed
- Trigger conditions will check if the learner has viewed all layers to proceed
- Each layer will have its own variable responsible for tracking if the learner has viewed the layer
Attached is a sample project file (Slide 1.2) for your reference so you can see the above in action.
Let me know if you have any questions!
I'm sorry this is just over my head.. I don't understand how to add variables correctly and make them reflect what I need. How do I add the variable you made to each layer? Does the number need to be 16 instead of 3?
