Disable feature on revisiting the slide
I need help with disabling a feature when revisiting a slide. I have a circular-shaped box that the learner can click on during their first visit. However, when they revisit the same slide, the box should be disabled. Do I need to use states and variables to achieve this? Can you guide me through the process?"
There are different ways to do that.
You could add a trigger to the box itself that changes its state to Disabled when it is clicked. However, that would only let the user click it once. So if clicking provides the only way to see important info, that's not a good option, because they may need to review it.
If the user can only advance by clicking the Next button, you could add a trigger that changes the state of the box to Disabled when the user clicks Next. Be sure that trigger comes before the trigger that jumps to the Next slide.
It's also possible to change the state to Disabled when the timeline of the slide starts with the condition that the box is Visited.
- If you give the box a Visited state, it will automatically change to that state when it is clicked. So a trigger with that condition would only run when the user returns to the slide after having clicked the box.
Note: As I said above, if clicking the box provides the only way to see important info, I think it would be better to keep the box enabled.
One option is to use a trigger to change the state of the shape to its disabled state and set the slide properties to "Resume saved state". See attached a quick example.
Thank you for the prompt response. I've tried the suggested ways:
Set the slide properties to Resume saved state - Done
Creation of a state: Disabled - Done
Condition: Set state of "circular box" to Disabled when the user clicks "circular box".
Its was not working.
