Jump to slide or page / password protected
November 10, 2014 12:00 AM
Is there a way to have an option to jump to a certain page or section with a password?
If there is 140 slides/pages, 10 test questions. I want to be able to hit a key, enter a password and a slide number and be able to jump to that page. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Joey

A better idea: add a Table of Contents on a page, set it to "Initially hidden", then add a button called "Show TOC" and make sure the button is password-protected. Once the TOC is shown, learners can use it to jump anywhere they want.
Password protection: described here http://lectora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23653
Jumping to a certain page - not so easy. Lectora doesn't have a "jump to page number X" functionality, so you'll have to do a lot of conditional actions like "if entered number equals 5, jump to page titled "Chapter 5" etc.

Hi Joey,
Yup, at the root level create an Action to be triggered by Keystroke, and in the KEY field put in whatever you like. A good choice is like Control Key and the Zero Key, then select GoTo and select the chapter/page that you want to go to. Lectora doesn't quite let you do a full string of characters it has to be like a single key or a dual combo with the Control Key.

I use SSNEG's (Sergey's) technique of a hidden TOC all the time, often not exposing the button to the student. That way I can "backdooor" to any part of my title quickly for testing.

I used the table of contents at the --- I guess you call it template or root level~~
But I have a condition for the visibility for variable VAR(AICC_Student_Name)
Basicall goes like this -----
if VAR(AICC_Student_Name) equals ~~~null~~~ (or whatever I may want my QA people to uses for beta testing) then show my group (whatever I want--TOC) else hide it! :)
Just make sure you include the ~~~ before and after the null or else it will not function!
Works like a champ!!
