Restart a course with questions but see initial response
Hi all,
No clue how to title this one.
Essentially, I have three slides where learners answer a question in a text entry field and submit. After the submit they get a layer pop up with examples and then select next to go to the next question.
I tried having a previous button in case they wanted to add information, but because I have hide base layer on my layer, it only goes back to the layer.
So I was thinking could I have a button on my last slide that jumps to first slide, (this took them to the first slide layer), if I do Restart course it wipes out what they typed.
Is this possible or perhaps not even necessary. I just wanted them to have the option to go back and add if they wanted to. It is not for scoring and they can download at end to help them at the in person portion of training.
Any advice would be great.
I'm not on a PC with Storyline at the moment, so I can't look at your file.
However, you said "because I have hide base layer on my layer, it [the Previous button] only goes back to the layer."
Try this: On whatever button the user clicks to advance (e.g., the Next button), add a trigger to hide the layer. Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger that jumps to the next slide. (Triggers run in order, and the program can't run a trigger if it's already gone to another slide.)
The 'Restart Course' trigger will reset all custom variables to their default values, including TextEntry variables. Instead of using that, why not try a 'Jump to' trigger to return to the first slide and ensure the slide properties for each slide are set to their initial state?
Thank you both, I didn't see these but will check them out now :)
