I suggest that you have the checkbox and the name-entry field visible at the same time. That will make it easier to provide instructions and to program.
- Create a T/F variable with a default value of False to track whether the employee has "signed" the agreement.
- Add a trigger that changes the state of the Next button to Disabled when the timeline starts, with the condition that the T/F variable = False.
- Insert a data-entry field for the name. The program will automatically create a TextEntry variable to hold its value.
- Insert a checkbox.
- Add a trigger that changes the Next button to Normal when the checkbox is Selected with the condition that the TextEntry variable is not blank. (Note: Storyline can't check that the user actually entered their name; it can check that the user entered something.)
- Add a trigger that adjusts the T/F variable to True when the checkbox is Selected with the condition that the TextEntry variable is not blank. (This will prevent Next from being disabled again if the user returns to the slide.
You can see how all that looks in the attached demo. (It's not pretty, but it works. 😊 )
The real power in Storyline comes from conditions and variables. It's worth the time to learn about them. Here's more info:
