How do I create dynamic slide numbering (x out of 10 slides)?
I am trying to add dynamic slide numbering to my Storyline project. I have 10 questions in a random question bank that I want to be numbered so the user knows what question they are on out of 10 slides. I know this would involve using variables, but how would I go about it.
Any help would be appreciated!

Create a numeric variable, add a reference to your slide e.g.
%YourVariableName% out of 10
Add a trigger to each question slide to add 1 to your variable when timeline starts
If you plan to review the quiz then you will need to do this another way or else the question will become 11, 12 etc
Just add a true false variable to the number variable as a condition. Only have it add when the true false variable is false. Then automatically set it to true when timeline starts. This will stop a number variable from adding when revisiting the slide.
Hi Jesse, In case of revisiting the slide, when I am attempting further questions, I went to the previous slide from it and did the next from the same slide, It is not working
but it wont keep the number of the slide every slide would show 10 out of 10, that is why I said it needed to be rethought
I tried the method Phil suggested and it worked great! My project is a game so the questions are not revisited, so that issue is not applicable. Thanks for the help!
I also came across this, but was able to get around it by adding a simple trigger. When the person clicks the review button, it subtracts 10 (in your case) from the variable. This way when the person revisits, it basically starts counting back over.
Hi Phil,
Thanks for this. Worked perfectly and just what I needed to finalise my project.
Cheers,
Debbie
Glad Phil was able to help you out here Debbie, and if you need anything else just let us know!
Hi, Babli.
Take a look at the article below for another method of numbering quiz slides:
Let me know if you have additional questions.
