Slides are auto advancing without requiring the next button
This is my first project using Storyline and when I preview the scene I built, one it gets to the end of the timeline for each slide it auto advances to the next slide. I checked the player triggers and deleted the tirgger to move to the next slide once the timeline ends but it still advances when I preview it. I wasn't prepared to load the file yet to my LMS for testing. Any suggestions on settings I might be missing?
Is this just how preview works and it will translate fine into my LMS?
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Jenna!
Your triggers look good, thanks for sharing the screenshot :)
Quick question, have you checked the advancement properties for the slides, as well?
You can find this by clicking on the "cogwheel" in the lower-right hand corner of the window, for the base layer:
Is this currently set to "Advance Automatically" or "By User"? If this is set to automatically, try changing the option to "By User".
If this is the setting you're using, are you able to share the .STORY file here? I'd be happy to take a look.
Thanks!
Thank you for this post!! Very helpful for me :)
Thank you so much!! This helped me today!
Thank you, Christine! I have been trying to figure out why my triggers weren't working. This was very helpful!
Hi Vijaykumar and welcome to Heroes!
You can select multiple slides from within the story view and apply that slide property setting to all slides at once to allow the slides to advance by user. You should also see the "jump to slide trigger" included when starting a new course or adding a new slide.
Those are symptoms of locked navigation.
Go to Player -> Menu, and you can change it:
This tutorial will help explain the options:
Thank you Christine! That is exactly what I was missing. I stumbled onto it on the story view page as well. Thanks for the support and the quick reply!
Wonderful! Happy to hear that helped :D
Have a great weekend, Jenna!
Hi.
I am having the same issue. I created my first storyline project today. But since the last two hours I am stuck in this issue.
As shown above, I've set the 'cogwheel' to 'By User' but even then the slides just advance automatically.
Kindly help me out with any known solution.
I've also kept the variable such that the next button becomes active only after the timeline gets completed (using one of the tutorials here)
Looking for guidance as quick as possible.
Regards,
Mazhar
Hi there Mazhar,
If you'd like, you're welcome to share the .STORY file here. I'd be happy to take a look and see what's happening. Or, if you'd prefer, you're welcome to send the file over to our support team.
Thanks!
Is it possible to have the setting for Slide advances by user to be enabled for all slides at one go? Or, is it necessary that I change this setting for each slide manually. It seems time consuming to do this. I am hoping that ARticulate has a feature to get this done for all slides from the beginning itself, otherwise I dont understand why this is enabled to advance automatically as the default setting. If we are developing a story in a player, surely it means we expect the learner to navigate using the Next button, and so shouldnt that be the default setting?
Thanks.
Thanks, Ashley! That helped!
Awesome, thanks for the update! If you need anything else please let us know.
