Selective display/filter function in Storyline

Hi, Joanna,

If you're highlighting the data by changing states of each object, you'd need variables to track which buttons are clicked (i.e., which filters are selected), plus a whole lotta triggers that change the states based on the values of those variables. 

However, there's a simpler method:

• Add highlighting via 3 layers: one layer for each filter.
  • For example, if the items are laid out like a spreadsheet, the layers could have rectangle borders that highlight the appropriate cells. Or you could put checkmarks next to the items. Whatever makes sense for the design.
• Show a given layer when its button is clicked.
• Be sure to set the Slide Layer Properties so showing a layer does not hide the other layers. 
• For the Clear button, add triggers to hide all 3 layers. 

Thanks, Judy! The variables + triggers effort was making my head spin, so I love your suggestion of using layers. I'll give it a try!
