How to get a Results page to appear in the Menu
We'd like the results page to appear in the menu. I'm looking for good examples of how to do this.
Storyline leaves Results slides out of the Menu, even when you reset it. And even when you add one to the Menu using the method Ashley described, the program won't include it.
Why?
A Results slide relies on multiple built-in variables, which are impacted by what happens on the question slides. If someone could jump to the Results slide from anywhere, the program wouldn't have the info it needs to display the slide, and it wouldn't load. That would be much more frustrating for a user than not being able to return to the Results slide via the Menu.
That said, there is a way to make it seem like the Results slide is in the Menu.
- Insert a slide directly before it, with the title "Your Results" or whatever matches what the real Results slide shows.
- Add a trigger to that slide so it automatically advances when the timeline starts.
- That slide can appear in the Menu, but it will always advance to the actual Results slide.
