Need Help - Using Variables to Select Slides from a "Bank" Using Multiple Criteria Checks
Good morning! I'm starting to work (for the first time) on an historically challenging project at my company. My boss wants me to solve our past issues, so I'm reaching out to the experts from th...
About 4 years ago, I did a post about users following different-yet-sometimes-overlapping paths through the content. Unfortunately, posts >3 years old didn't get transferred to the new community. Yes, it involves using variables to track what the user needs to see. Those are used in conditions that control where the NEXT button takes them. I'll add a link as soon as I re-create the post and demo file.
In the meantime, it will definitely help if you storyboard the slides first. For example, determine the linear progression of slides to show all of the changes from the beginning of the policy to the end of the policy. Then determine which slides are needed for which roles. That will be invaluable when you actually start to program.
Also, you might want to get more familiar with variables and conditions. It’s worth the effort, because they provide the real power in Storyline. Here’s more information:
- This post provides an overview of variables. It also links to numerous resources. The Value of Variables | Articulate - Community
- The User Guide articles about triggers include some about conditions. Storyline 360: Working with Triggers | Articulate - Community
Thank you so much! I'm just getting started on storyboarding.
In a separate reply to this question, I did link to a post with a file that demonstrates how to do what you want. You might want to take a look at that; it may influence how you prep your storyboard.
