Resetting Slide.ElapsedTime with a trigger
Hi, I am trying to reset the "Slide.ElapsedTime" variable so I can use it as a timer, that a user can reset... but I can not seem to get it to work.
very simple trigger: set Slide.ElapsedTime t...
Not sure if anyone is still on this thread. I have looking at trying to use this variable.. so does what you are all talking about mean that it doesn't automatically reset when you move from one slide to another?
ie. My client would like to know how much time a leaner spent on each slide. I was hoping I could use this. But if it doesn't start at 0 for each slide it wouldn't work at all for me.
Hi David,
If you're planning on using the Slide.ElapsedTime, this variable will give you the cumulative elapsed time a learner has spent on a slide. Some notes on using this variable:
- It will reset to 0 when you move to a different slide
- You cannot manipulate the value of this variable using triggers. It is strictly a read-only variable.
You can check out this article for more information on built-in variables.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks Joe!
Your first note answered my question.
- It will reset to 0 when you move to a different slide ... thats pretty much what I need.
Glad to help!
