I am trying to create a survey that ranks answers, and then tally's the responses on the last slide
JohnHaggard-58a: Thanks for clarifying how you want the ranking to work.
Here's a post I did about creating a ranked-choice interaction with buttons: TIP: Ranking-Order Interaction | Articulate - Community
That type of interaction could easily be used to calculate the scores for each investor type.
And here's my post about calculating with variables: PRIMER: Trigger calculations in Storyline | Articulate - Community
- Be careful when triggering calculations to prevent extra operations being triggered when a user changes a selection.
- Show the variable references on the slide during development. That really helps you see whether adjustments occur the way you want them to.
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?
