Making markers automatically show

Thank you all for your help and advice

I'm working on getting better at building things myself. I can't tell you how fun that's been transferring projects from Engage to Storyline :|

Oh, hello Zoom Region button that I never noticed before!  You do exactly what I wanted

Hi,

Continuing the conversation re: Markers automatically opening.

I can see some use for example, if you have introduction text that you'd like the user to see before they need to click other markers to get more information. I found Engage interactions do have this function and the users of our eLearning system have got used to that.

I could create a simple text box but this looks different from the markers - and as the introduction text is still linked to the other markers it would be nice to have it with the same look to create uniformity.

Just my thoughts on the subject

Having the ability to open the marker automatically on a trigger would be a great additional feature.  I am using markers to provide instruction steps - whilst the majority need to be clicked there are some additional interactions ( hotspots) I have included where I want the marker to open automatically.  I can add these as screen shots but not as nice (they don't open/close the same way so obvious it is different). 

This training will be ipad accessible so cannot use Engage for this.

Would love to see this functionality/trigger option added if possible. 

Forum is so handy to get the answers you need. 

Thanks

Cath. 

Hi Cath! When you think of those thing, you can submit them as a feature request

I just stumbled on the solution to this issue by accident. I had a marker that was opening automatically and I didn't want that. I'm posting the solution here and in a few other identical threads in case anyone still needs it. If the marker is the first object in the focus order for a slide or slide layer, it opens automatically.
