Navigation solution.

[Guest]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to accomplish the following. The learner will be advanced to the next slide if it has not been viewed. If it has been viewed I would like to direct them elsewhere. I think I should be able to do this with AA however I don't know how to check a viewed/not viewed status.

thanks Kurt

There may be another way but here is one idea.

What if you made a variable such as

slide5viewed

Then have an onEnter action for slide 5 to increment that to a 1

Then - on your button that goes to slide 5 - place an advanced action that checks that variable

Basically -

if slide5viewed = 1    jump to a different slide

else go to slide 5

As Greg points out, you need to create a user variable for each slide for which you want to use this functionality.  It will be a Boolean, has a default value of 0 and will get a value of 1 when leaving the slide. You didn't tell how you set up the normal navigation? If you use a custom Next button, one instance on each slide, you could use that button to Assign 1 to the variable before leaving the slide. The On Enter action can then be used as described by Greg. 

I you do not have a Next button, you can combine the toggling of the variable with the check of visit.

IF var is equal to 1

    Jump to slide

ELSE

    Assign var with 1

    Go to Next slide

Thank you!

I had a feeling it would involve a Boolean value. I wanted to make sure I was not missing a slightly easier approach.

thanks again
