Is it possible to give feedback that displays the order of steps the user has taken?
Hi all, I’m working on a Storyline 360 project where the user diagnoses a lighting fault on a vehicle. There are several branching scenarios, including both correct steps and unnecessary ones. I’d like to provide feedback at the end of the fault-finding process, showing the steps taken in the order they were completed. Is this possible?
It is possible. To do that, you'll need to use variables and and triggers with conditions.

For example, you could track the user's steps with a series of text variables. To put each performed step into the appropriate step-variable, you'll also have to track what the "next" step-variable is.
- Yup, that gets complicated fast. The more potential steps there are, the more triggers you need to check where the user is.
- It would definitely be easier with JavaScript. That allows you to concatenate text into one variable. (For JS expertise, check out the community's JavaScript group Group: JavaScript | Articulate - Community .)
At the end, display the variables on the feedback slide.

Hi Judy, thank you for the quick reply. I had considered using triggers, but as you mentioned, it’s a complicated approach. JavaScript seems like the better option.
