Take the highest variable

Hi everyone! 

I work for a company who run a lot of courses and I'm making a survey where users can see which course may be best for them. I've created a survey where users are asked to rate their interest in a given topic. I've got four question slides, each with four 'rate-able' topics on them. Question one on all four slides relates to Course A, question two on each slide relates to Course B, question 3 to Course C etc etc. 

I'd planned that each ticked response would adjust a numerical variable, and then the highest numerical variable activates a box to be shown on the final slide. This box would just be the words 'You may be interested in (X) course'. 

Each topic is rated as 'not interested' 'not sure' 'very interested'.

Each 'Very Interested' ticked response adds 25 to a variable, so if the user clicks answer one 3 times, the Course A variable will be at 75. If they've clicked answer two twice that variable will be at 50 etc. 

Is there any sort of trigger I can set where I can have whichever variable is the highest showing as the recommended course? So if the user has say clicked answer one three times, that variable is at 75, if the user clicks answer two twice that variable is at 50, so in this case the final slide would recommend the course attached to variable A? 

I hope that makes sense! I've tried to word it as simply as possible. Thank you for any help, or if I've massively over-complicated this and someone knows a much simpler way, please let me know! 

 

Thanks!

    Hi,

    I think you can accomplish what you want by doing the following:

    1. Create four slides for the four different results, such as slide #1 is called "A Result," slide #2 is called "B Result," etc. 
    2. Insert a trigger that says "Jump to slide A Results, when the user clicks Next" (at the end of the survey), and then add conditions:
      1. If A > (is greater than) variable B
      2. and If A> (is greater than) variable C
      3. and If A> (is greater than) variable D (See image)

      4.  

    3. Repeat step 2 3 times for B Results, C Results, and D Results. This will cause your learner to jump to the appropriate pre-made slide with Results based on the score of the variables.
    4. Or, you could accomplish the Results as one slide with 4 layers. Instead of putting all the triggers from Steps 2 and 3 on the final slide of the survey, put them in the base layer of the Results slide and change "Jump to Slide" to "Show layer" with your different layers showing the pre-made results.
