Retain tab order upon return to slide
Hello - I'm using Storyline 360 Standard on Windows 10 Enterprise. Is there any way to have the tab order pick up from where the learner was when they left the slide?
For example, a menu slide with focus order for the buttons configured as One, Two, Three, Four. If button Three is selected, I'd like the tab order to start at Three when the learner returns to the menu slide, rather than always starting at the beginning of the focus order.
In the menu Slide Properties, "When revisiting" is set to "Resume saved state".
Thanks,
Tracy
Hi TLD
If there are a couple of slides you need to apply this functionality to, then it could be feasible using the new "set focus" trigger included in the March release of SL.
For example, you could use a variable to track the focus position on elements. Creating a numeric variable called "focusLocation", default value zero, which could then be set to a specific number based on the interaction with a button. In this example, set to "1" when the user clicks on "Menu Button 1"
If then user then exits, and then re-enters the slide, a "timeline starts" trigger can run that sets the focus to the button, based on the value of "focusLocation" being "1".
Depending on how many buttons you have, you could end up with several of these "Set focus" triggers.

Thanks Sam, this is great!
