Making a slider/scale bar and tracking imput?

Hi Sherrise and welcome to Heroes!

I haven't seen an example like this, but I'll keep my eyes peeled and hope that someone else in the community can help you out. 

Hey Sherrise

Rich Calcutt made a slider a little while ago in this thread I think you can use the same approach for your interaction. The link to the example will have probably expired but the .story file is attached which should show you how it works.

Hope this helps

Thanks Harri for sharing that example. 

Sherrise, some other things to keep in mind when creating this slider - you may want to review the following types of freeform questions and graded or survey questions that you can track within Storyline. 

You could also decide to track by slides viewed if you wanted to ensure they saw this slide. 

Hi Sherrise! The slider that Harri mentioned is great for this. To track the answers you can set up a variable for each type (Near miss, incident and accident) to capture your users selections. 

The way that slider works is by displaying different states of the slider image. You can set a trigger that adjusts your variable based on which slider state is displayed. For example, here are the fives states of a slider I used recently. 

You can use an Adjust variable trigger to record your users' slider selections.  So when the state of the slider object is in state 1 adjust the value to No Chance, when then state of the slider object is state 5 adjust the variable to Always, etc. 

For the tracking piece you can insert a survey question and use the value of the variable with a trigger to automatically select the right response and another trigger to automatically submit the survey data behind the scenes so your users never even see it. 

I've attached an example you can check out. (Note that the last slide is a Results Slide which you need to report the survey data to your LMS. )

I optimistically downloaded the above  (thanks Mike) and previewed. I had to upgrade it to a more recent version, but there seemed to be no submit button. As a learner I would not think my answer had been registered. DOes it need one or do I need to try thi in my LMS? Thanks

Hi Diane,

The file that you downloaded is about 8 years old, and it looks like there were some parts that were not upgraded properly. The first slide should contain navigation buttons to allow the learner to move to the second slide, where you'll find the submit button. I've attached an edited version of the file with the navigation buttons restored. 

Hope this helps!

Amazing, thanks. I'd put a slider tutorial on my wish list, that includes tracking, as this isn't something I could recreate.
