Want to ensure text entry response and survey response on layer is completed
Hi everyone,
In the project I am currently working on, I am using tabs to provide information. There are three tabs on the base layer: 'Read', 'Watch', 'Do'. Information for each tab is posted on a new layer.
I have a survey question and a short answer question on the 'Do' layer. Since this is a layer and not the base layer I am unable to convert it to freeform. Also, my short answer question is an open ended question, so there isn't a right or a wrong answer there. It's a complete/incomplete kinda question.
How can I ensure learners are completing the survey question and the short answer question?
Any suggestions are helpful!
Thanks!
All text-entry fields use a variable to track the entry. That variable starts with a blank value. To ensure that someone types in the field, add a condition to the trigger that leaves the layer so that the trigger will only run if the value isn't blank. For example, that might look like this:
- You might also want to add a trigger that shows an "Enter your answer!" message if the value is blank.
- This still doesn't ensure someone "completes" the answer. It can only check that they typed at least one character.
