Restricting users to select next

Hello 

I am looking to use the player triggers to move through my course however I want to restrict the ability to move through the course until the user has done or clicked on activities on the page. I usually do this by adding Next/Prev buttons to the project and change the state to hidden or disabled until the user does something however is there a way to utilise the built in player buttons (image 2) in the same way. I have managed to restrict the user from moving on by inserting a trigger (image 1) however its not clear that its restricted i.e no pop up saying please complete the activity before moving on. 

Thanks

    Hi Lynne,

    You can set the state of the Next Button to Disabled instead. This will change the button visually at least (faded). You can then Change the state of the button to Normal when the correct conditions have been met. You can also put a condition on Disabling the button, for example if you could check (a variable) if the interaction has previously been completed (re-visiting), you could leave the Next Button enabled.

    Thanks,
    Sam

    Hi Lynne Crawford, by default there might be no such feature to display a pop up for the user to display something like please complete the activity before moving on. So, you need to create a new layer with your own pop up content and add a trigger that displays this layer when user clicks on the Next button.
