Summary configuration
Hello,
I have an issue with the menu. I'm struggling to configure the following:
If the learner clicks on the home icon while they are in Part 1, I want them to be directed to the summary, with Parts 2, 3 and 4 locked only.
If the learner clicks on the home icon while they are in Part 2, I want them to be directed to the summary, with Parts 3 and 4 locked only.
If the learner clicks on the home icon while they are in Part 3, I want them to be directed to the summary, with Part 4 locked only.
Additionally, I would like this not to affect the progress rate if the learner decides to revisit a previously completed section during their training.
Thank you for your help!
To implement such functionality, you will need to use variables.
You need to create 3 logical variables: Part2, Part3, and Part4, and initially assign them a value of false.
On the slide where Part 2 begins, you need to set the variable Part2 to true. (Do the same for Part 3 and 4.)
On the menu slide, you need to set the buttons that lead the user to Chapters 2, 3, and 4 to an inactive state. And assign triggers: when the slide time starts, change the Part2 button to Normal state if the variable Part2=true. Similarly do this with the buttons for Chapters 3 and 4.
Attached is a simplified version of the menu functionality as described in your post. This implementation is based on Alex's suggestion and uses four True/False variables: Part1Complete, Part2Complete, and so on.
- Initialization: Initially, all variables are set to "False," indicating that none of the parts are complete.
- Updating Variables: At the end of each part, the corresponding variable is set to "True." For example:
- The Part1Complete variable is set to True when the timeline starts on the last slide of Part 1.
- Enabling Buttons: When a variable is set to True, it enables the corresponding button for the next part on the Summary slide. For instance, if Part1Complete is True, the button for Part 2 will be enabled.
- Consistent Logic: This logic is consistently applied to all variables across different parts, ensuring that the menu reflects the learner's progress accurately.
