Chapter 4 – Making a Presentation Interactive

target is met. With this feature, you can change the behavior of a presentation based on a huge array of interactive and

networked conditions.

1. Select the Advanced tab while creating or editing an event.

2. Click the Set Conditional Targets button.

Note: This option will only be available if you have created one or more User Variables in the File > Presentation

Properties window.

3. Click Add Conditional Target in the Conditional Targets window, or click a preexisting Conditional Target to edit

it.

4. In the first dropdown menu, select the User Variable that will trigger the Conditional Target.

5. In the second dropdown menu, select the conditional operator that will compare the current value of the variable

against the value set in the field to the right. The transition behavior and Advanced Commands you specify in this

window will only occur when the entire statement—the variable, the operator, and the target value—is true. These

are the conditional operators that are currently

available:

a. Between

b. Less than (<)

c. Less than or equal (<=)

d. Equals (=)

e. Greater than or equal (>=)

f. Greater than (>)

Note: In the target value field, you can enter either a fixed integer or the name of another user variable (i.e. “only when

Variable 1 is equal to 42” or “only when Variable 1 is equal to Variable 2”). Like the Set Variable command, you must

enter the name of a target variable between two sets of dollar signs (e.g. “$$variable1$$”).

6. Select Transition to new state if you want to use the dropdown list to specify which file in the playlist will be the

next state.

7. Select Return to prior state if you want the presentation to revert to the previous media file when the interactive

event is performed.
