How result slide detect which result variable to use
A tip for filtering out the dead variables, with the SL2 update 5+ (I'm using SL2 Update 10) where you can rename the variables as normal but still not able to delete them.
I found you can detect the orphaned variables as they will glitch a text label to not display at all if referencing an orphaned results slide variable.
So I list all my results slides variables in a hidden housekeeping slide to use meaningful names and keep on top of results slides changes now. Listing each variable in its own text box:
- "R1 - %Results1.ScorePoints%" through
- "R10 - %Results10.ScorePoints%" for instance where R10 is orphaned.
Previewing the slide:
- only the R1 - label will show
- while the orphaned R10 - label will not show at all.
So then you can make a hit-list of the orphans and banish them to the bottom of the variables list by renaming them with Zzz prefixes.
Interesting set up David, thanks for sharing it here and I'm glad you've got a method that'll work for you in terms of naming and ignoring extra variables!
