Hello All,

I have a quick question concerning my assessment questions. These questions are not scored just have feedback to them. However, my client would like for the navigation button to be inactive or hidden until the end user answers the question correctly. I only know how to cover the button until the question is answered. Can this be done? And if so, how?

Thank you for your time,
Tristin

You can set the "enabled" property to true or false based on whether the
question has been answered. That way you can just remove the nav cover.
Nav covers have their place, but most of the time they are not really
needed.

Thank you Clifton. I did not know that was an option. Can you enable or disable the panel based on if the question was answered correctly?

You can set the question to be locked after answering in the question
properties. If you don't like the behavior of the question after setting
that property, then this may be one example of why a nav cover to block
user interaction may be an alternative.

So, all in all I can tell my client we have those options. But, Toolbook cannot acknowledge when a questions has been answered correctly or not to disable and enable the navigation panel. Correct?

Each question object has an action event called "on questioned answered"
associated with it. When the event is sent, it sends an [score]
parameter and it is the string "correct" or "incorrect". So you can
place some actions on that event to further customize what it is that
you need to accomplish.

Everything is really pretty flexible.

Ok I will look into that. Thank you Clifton. I am still pretty new to Toolbook, so I'm still trying to figure out the program and the Actions Editor.

Setup a button that checks a feedback field for 'correct' or 'incorrect'. If text of field "feedback" = true then enable the navigation button. Use the on question answered property to trigger the button

You can set the question to be locked after answering in the question prope= rties. If you don't like the behavior of the question after setting that pr= operty, then this may be one example of why a nav cover to block user inter= action may be an alternative.

Hi Stanley,

This is very helpful because I have a button that they click to check if the answer is incorrect or correct, and I want them to not be able to move forward until the question is answered correctly. If what you are saying is this can be done with this button, what would my Actions Editor need to say.

So far I have:

On click
Score Multiple Choice Question "Assessment"

What do I need to insert for it to check if the feedback field is correct or incorrect to make the feedback field true to enable the navigation button. In dumbed down terms.
