Hi, I have a course which has more than three different sections. I want to add check mark to each section when the learner fisishes that part.
I used buttons for each section, and set a "finished" state for each button. It's each to achieve the goal if the learner goes linear way. However, if the learners don't click the buttons according to specific order, how can I reach that?
Thanks for showing me the sample. So, if I set up the visited status, the button will automatically change to the visited when learner click that? I am going to play around.
But the visited state will fire before you view the content, it would be muchj better to use a custom state e.g. completed and then track this using variables, it is more complcated but it does ensure that the content has actually been reviewed prior to marking as complete (or at least ensures the slides were visited)
Just wasn't sure I wanted to crack that can of worms!
Sophia, Phil is correct. If you want the button to only change states AFTER the person has viewed all the content in an area, then you'd want to use Phil's method.
I have tried to set up the course following our example. I don't know what's going on, it still does not work. Could you help me trouble shoot it, please?

Sophia,
It shouldn't matter what order they click the buttons in. I've attached a sample.

Sophia,
Yes, it will automatically change.

I wouldnt use visited state for this.
Hate to disagree with Mike

Totally agree Phil.

Hi Phil, yes, actually I did set up a "finished" status. However, I am not sure how to set up the variables and track that.......
Hi Sophie
This file should help to get this working. I have a couple of things in there so feel free to use them for what you want.
Come back if you need help, I will try to do a screenr tonight if you need it
