Multiple input for text entry variables
Hi! I've created a calendar with clickable dates, I'd like the learners to choose whether they want to type a date in the box or choose a date from the calendar. Then I'd like the date they've entered to appear on following slides - is this possible?
I've created a text reference that will bring through what they've typed, but can't figure out how to include a date they've chosen from the calendar.
Please see the screenshot! Thanks!
Hello UK Training Team,
Thanks for reaching out!
There isn't a native date picker functionality available in Storyline 360, but I've seen some examples created by users that make use of Javascript to achieve this. Here's one example:
I'll let members of the community chime in with other solutions that they're willing to share so you can check out other options!
Thanks Joe, this does look useful - but Im a total newbie at javascript & don't understand what Im doing with it!
Is there a way to do this without JS? I basically want the next slide to reflect what is in a certain box, regardless of how the info was put in there.
Im trying to replicate an internal system we use, for training purposes. Some fields are free text & some have a dropdown.
Another example of what Im trying to do: A dropdown has several options, I want the user to choose one, & whatever they've chosen to reflect on the following screen. Ive built the dropdown then put each result on a different layer, but that means I have multiple text entry boxes to link my reference to - is there a better way to do this please?
I figured it out! I wasn't using states properly - thanks to this YouTube video I was able to add the correct state for each calendar day, then add a variable to carry the day chosen by the user to the next slide
