Need to Ensure That Learners Watch the Course in a Specific Order
Hi Heroes,
I'm trying to set my page so that learners click on each number to move to that section. Where I'm running into difficulty is that I need to prevent learners from being able to click ahead. For example, I need them to click on #1 and then watch the information in the scene. Then click on #2 and watch that scene before being able to advance to #3, etc...I've looked here and have checked YouTube but haven't found anything that addresses what I need.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jenell
Use T/F variables to track what's been viewed. Use triggers with conditions based on those variables to enable your custom-menu buttons in order.

Hi Judy. Thank you for the link. I will try this.
Have you gone into Player, Menu, Settings and set Navigation to Restricted?
Hi Walt. Thank you for your note. I did consider that, but I really want this to be an interactive slide where they click on each step.
If you are using the built-in menu, Restricting the navigation forces them to visit slides in order.
If you have a custom menu, or talking about steps on one slide, this discussion has a sample that will get you started:
The Restricted Navigation does not show the link to the next section until the previous section has been viewed. The Mixed Navigation allows the various sections to be visited in any order, but does not allow going to the End until all sections have been viewed. The Free Navigation allows the sections to be visited in any order, and the End to be visited at any time.Clicking the menu objects jumps to other slides, but you can easily modify those triggers to do what you want.Thank you from the bottom of my heart Judy and Walt! You saved my bacon!
You’re welcome. As Judy would say, PIFWYC (Pay it forward when you can).
Actually, I say, "As Walt Hamilton says, 'PIFWYC (pay it forward when you can).'"
Walt deserves the credit for "PIFWYC." 😁
