Using variables to display feedback based on self-grading question
Hi All!
I'm creating a self-reflection question where I'm asking learners to grade themselves on how confident they are in certain areas.
Attached is my slide - essentially, I want the learner to tick the areas where they feel confident or feel they need improvement - against each area and click Submit.
When they click Submit, I want to display a 'positive' feedback layer if they select 3 or more tick boxes under 'I'm confident'. I want to display an 'improvement needed' feedback layer if they select 3 or more tick boxes under 'I need improvement.'
I have 2 questions:
- What are the variables and triggers I would need to set up in order to display those two different feedback layers (based on the conditions outlined above)? I imagine it will have something to do with a number-based variable, but I can't get my head around how to do it; and
- How can I ensure the learner only clicks a tick box for each row EITHER under 'I'm confident' OR 'under 'I need improvement' (but not allow them to select both at the same time in each row)?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Adrian
Thank you so much MichaelHinze​! This is perfect and I can see what you did to set it up - much appreciated 🙏🙏

Have a look at the attached and see if that's what you wanted. Re 1: I set up two numeric variables (Confident and Improvement). When the Submit button is clicked, these variables are increased, depending on the Selected stat of each of the button in either column. Based on the variable value, the correct layer is displayed.
Re 2: I grouped the two buttons in each row into button sets, which ensures that only one button in each row can be selected.
You still need to account for the case, where the user clicks the Submit button with less than 3 buttons selected.
Hope that helps.Thank you so much MichaelHinze​! This is perfect and I can see what you did to set it up - much appreciated 🙏🙏
Thinkaway​ : You marked your thanks as the solution to your question:
I'm guessing you thought that the "MARK AS SOLUTION" button only indicates that the overall issue has been solved.
However, the "MARK AS SOLUTION" button applies to the specific reply where it is clicked.
When a reply is "MARKED AS SOLUTION," a copy appears directly under the question. (It also still appears in the entire thread of replies.) This helps others quickly find the answer when they have a similar problem.
In addition, the site tracks how many solutions each person has given.
MichaelHinze​ deserves the recognition for solving the problem. So I suggest you unmark your reply, and then mark his as the solution.
MichaelHinze​'s solution is a great way to show this type of feedback.
