How to force user to click on a Button in Rise 360
I have a button that I want to force the user to click on before moving on.
I have a Continue after the button with the "Complete the content above before moving on" but it does not force them to click on the button.
Any advice on how to get this to work?
Hi there, Wendy! A button or button stack is not a block that works with the Continue button.
You can use continue blocks to require learners to complete carousel blocks, checkbox lists, audio blocks, video blocks, accordions, tabs, labeled graphics, processes, sorting activities, flashcards, knowledge checks, scenario, and Storyline blocks. (Although button blocks and attachment blocks are interactive, you can’t require learners to complete them.)
Some folks have used:
- a checkbox list to force an acknowledgment of having completed a task
- a quiz or Storyline block to check for retention of the content
I hope that gives you some ideas!

Is there any plans to change this? Having to make them click a check box after clicking the button is quite redundant. For example, I have a course where they must visit an external page before continuing. Having a button to link them there is functional. Having them check a box afterwards confirming they've clicked the button makes adult learners feel like children in detention...
Hi Adam,
While we haven't made changes to the button block in Rise 360, I appreciate you letting us know you need this option!

I totally agree with Adam. I require users to complete a Feedback Survey on the Articulate lesson and have added a button that links to the survey form. I cannot find another way to force them to push this button. Are there any other suggestions you may have?
Hi Barbara!
You could try embedding the survey within the lesson itself instead of linking it to a button. That way, learners will be more likely to complete the survey! Here's an example of what an embedded form looks like using a multimedia embed block.

Thank you very much! I didn't even think about embedding it in as a multimedia block. Great idea.

Is there any way for users to complete the audio that's in the SL360 before allowing them to click on the "Complete the content above before moving on"?
I've included audio files and require users to listen to it before being able to click "Complete the content above before moving on". Some portion worked while others don't. The settings are all same but the outcomes are different.
Please assist.
Check out these steps to make sure learners complete a Storyline block before moving on. Let me know if you're still seeing inconsistency, Calvin!

Agree that it would be helpful to force a learner to click a link (to a policy for instance) before continuing.
- ChristinePad908Community Member
Agreed! This is what I need it for. The solutions provided above don't quite cut it for this.

Do we have any update on this request, the continue button working with the button stack?

Hi Maria! No updates yet but we'll reply to this thread if we have news to share!

I agree as well. Requiring the learner to click on the link that launches a document or other page is a task that should have the ability to be "tracked" so that the learner can't proceed if they haven't done that action.

Let's suppose for a moment that Rise had the ability to determine if an external link was clicked.
For example "Click on this link and read the HR policy about Internet use."
The CONTINUE button would verify that the link was clicked, but that's it.
The course designer would still have no idea if the learner actually read anything.
In our organization we use many external links. If we really need to know if they learned anything from external sites, we use Quiz questions to determine this.

Yes. I agree. But when the requirement is to have the user click the link and that is the only requirement it should be able to register that action.
This is not very different than clicking the "You agree with the legal terms to this agreement for apps and other online forms which then activates the submit or forward button. Just because you clicked and agreed doesn't mean you've read the document. It's just a legal hoop you have to jump through. Similar to the requirements needed in my situation.
