I am trying to create a survey that ranks answers, and then tally's the responses on the last slide
Hello JohnHaggard-58a
Unlike JudyNollet , I don't understand if you really want to increment a single variable with the response points OR four variables/one per investor type (the variable that comes out on top indicates the investor type that most closely resembles you)?
It seems to be one variable, and depending on its value, you determine the type. This is a little less relevant for the learner because if you move up to the superior category between 75 and 76% (for example), you are in the same category as someone who scored 99%.
If I may suggest, frankly, in this case, I would keep it simple and completely manageable.
I would create a first slide with a “choose an answer” built-in that I would customize as I wish (or as required by the client's graphic charter). No feedback as suggested by Judy. Four triggers: “(Ajust variable) Add 1 point to the ‘Total points’ VAR when the learner presses the NEXT/VALID button if the first answer is SELECTED,” “Add 2 points... if... second answer... SELECTED,” and so on.
Duplicate this slide. Change the wording of the question and answers, and the order of the answers. DONE. Duplicate this slide... and so on.
No need to add up the points: each slide does this automatically.
At the end, on the fifteenth blank slide, display (or not) the “total points” VAR and show the feedback you want according to the value of the VAR.
(Note: I think I spent more time writing this than creating the first slide!)
There will be more triggers if you increment four different variables, but the end result will be more refined. You can present the “race” between investor types in the form of a customized slider, bars, or images of varying sizes, and convert the points into percentages. But that depends on what your SME has given you.
Hope it helps.
That you so much ThierryEMMANUEL. I posted a reply below that hopefully helps better explain my intended need. I am not loving the up and down arrow way of moving things but still trying to figure out a solution. Thanks again for your reply.
Hello JohnHaggard-58a
Despite your hard work, I don't find the arrow buttons very practical either. And if you have to spend even more hours modifying the code because your SME has changed a detail...
I'm not a fan of JudyNollet 's suggestion, not because it's irrelevant, but because it doesn't suit MY WAY OF THINKING. Maybe it suits yours.
As I suggested in my previous reply, I think something similar to sliders is more intuitive and visually relevant in your case. I followed that lead. The goal is to keep it as simple and practical as possible.
As you can see in the attached demo, you set up the functionality, adjust the text, customize the graphics EXACTLY as you want on the first slide, then duplicate it 14 times. Adjust the text. And you're done. But it's still easy to modify screen by screen if necessary.
Just be aware of this: each time you duplicate a slide, the sliders automatically assign themselves an associated variable (slider1, slider2, etc.) that you don't need. Change them to the variables you have created according to your needs and delete slider1, slider2, etc., to keep the variables panel clean.
There are two tips that Judy gives that I ALWAYS apply when I work. Temporarily display the variables I'm working on on the screen to better detect my mistakes. Put additional and/or repetitive triggers on additional layers so as not to clutter up the base layer.
A layer is used exclusively to prevent the learner from moving on to the next question without selecting each option or creating duplicates. I find this useful, but you can delete it if it's not necessary.
What do you think?
