Adding Further Information About an Interaction Area

Prerequisites

You have opened the Step Editor for a step.

Procedure

Make additional entries for User Input.

Note

You can make different entries for User Input according to the type of interaction area.

The type specifies the kind of interaction the learner should perform. When the interaction area has been recorded using the Recorder, the type of interaction you performed is specified. You normally do not need to change this setting. If you created the interaction area manually, you must check this setting.

Type	Function	Meaning
Click, double-click, right click		Interaction area for simulating pushbuttons, menu entries, indicators, and so on.
	Ignore Expected Input	Only relevant if: you have a multi-interaction step with an input field and expected user input, and an interaction area with click, double-click, or right click. Both interaction areas lead to the same target. Select this option to enable the learner to perform the click interaction without having to make an entry in the input field at the same time.
	Default (Enter)/Cancel (ESC)	Trigger the selected action in Next Step (alternative to mouse action).
	If the learner does not perform the interaction correctly, the player displays a message and repeats the instruction text. For more information about editing the message text, see Adding Further Details About the Test Mode.
Input field		Interaction area for simulating user input.
	User Input	Text used for the animation of the text entry for the relevant field in demo mode, and, if necessary, for checking the user input.
	Expected input	Compares the text input of the learner with the text specified in the User Input field. If the learner makes an incorrect entry, the Player displays a message and repeats the instruction text. For more information about editing the message text, see Adding Further Details About the Test Mode.
	Case sensitive	Also takes account of the case when checking the user input.
	Password	The text appears in this field as *.
	Default Text	Simulates the default field value of an input field.
	Default (Enter)/Tab	Specifies whether pressing Enter or Tab completes text entry.
	Input Field Settings	Specifies the font, font color, and background color for the interaction area. You can also define these settings for the entire tutorial. To do so, choose Settings ® Input Settings. If the expected user input extends over several lines, choose Wrap text. The user input cannot be checked for these fields.
Drag and Drop Source/Drag and Drop Target		Interaction areas for simulating Drag and Drop interactions.

Under Next step, specify which step the user should jump to after the current step.

Setting	Function
Next sequential step (default setting)	Goes to the next step in the sequence of the structure. If you have selected Next sequential step in a tutorial for the last step, the Player is stopped automatically after this step.
None	The Player stays on this step in the tutorial. This is meaningful for multi-interaction steps, for example, when the user is required to make more than one entry without leaving the step. Specify Next sequential step for the last input field, so that the user continues through the tutorial.
Leave Tutorial	The tutorial is ended.
Bookmark (optional)	If you have defined a bookmark in another step, you can select it here. This step becomes the next step in the tutorial. This is meaningful if, for example, different screens should appear depending on the interaction executed by the user. For more information about defining bookmarks, see Adding Further Details About a Step.

Under Hyperlink, enter the file or website that should be called as a result of the interaction. Enter the URL or path in the input field or select the file.

Note

Ensure that the None option has not been selected under Next Step. Otherwise the user falls into a loop.

If the user can also use a key or a combination of keys as an alternative to an interaction, specify this under Keyboard Shortcut.
