How to navigate automatically between items and parts?

Updated over 2 months ago

Background

Sometimes, you may not want to let the participants navigate between the items and/or parts themselves. For this, you can use automatic navigation between the items and/or parts. This option ensures that the transition between items and/or parts is done automatically when the time limit on the level of the item and/or the part has expired.

Activating automatic navigation between items

Proceed as follows to enable automatic navigation between items:

  1. Add a time limit to all items that you will add to your assignment: Adding a time limit to an item

  2. Create an assignment of your items: Creating a new assignment.

  3. Open the Behavior tab and select Modify settings.
    Result: The settings of the assignment template become visible.

  4. Select the Navigation tab and enable the option Automatic navigation.

    Result: the user will automatically navigate to the next item when the time limit has expired on item level. When the time limit has not expired yet, the user cannot navigate by himself either.

Activating automatic navigation between parts

Proceed as follows to enable automatic navigation between parts:

  1. Open your assignment.
    Result: The tab Items is opened. You see an overview of the assignment parts.

  2. Add a time limit to all part level of an assignment: Creating a new assignment.

  3. Open the Behavior tab and select Modify settings.
    Result: The settings of the assignment template become visible.

  4. Select the Navigation tab and select the option Free navigation within parts

  5. Disable the option Show an overview of all parts in between parts.

    Result: The user will never see the overview of the parts after finishing a part.

  6. If you don't want users to finish a part before the time limit on the part has expired, disable the Finish part button in the Buttons and labels tab.

    Result: The user can't finish a part or the assignment. The next part automatically opens after the time limit of the previous part has expired. The assignment automatically ends when the last part is completed.
