Add and Program Buttons on a Replica
Adding a button to a Replica in Replica Maker makes a screen area clickable, and this article shows Content Developers and Instructional Designers how to create a button, copy buttons to similar screens, and program a button as a workflow action in the Lesson Builder.
How do you create a button?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | In Replica Maker, select the button icon. |
| 2 | Click and drag over a screen area to make it clickable. |
| 3 | Name the button in the ID field. Insert image here: s2_0X_img01_create-button.png — Replica Maker with the button icon selected and a clickable area drawn on the screen, showing the ID field; highlight the button icon, the clickable area, and the ID field. Alt: The Replica Maker toolbar with the button icon selected and a clickable area drawn on the screen. |
Note: As a best practice, start the button name with "btn" so it is easy to identify later.
How do you copy buttons to similar screens?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | In Replica Maker, select each button you want to copy, then press Ctrl + C. |
| 2 | Go to the other screen and press Ctrl + V to paste the buttons. |
How do you program a button in the Lesson Builder?
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | From a step in the Lesson Builder, select the Add Control dropdown. |
| 2 | Either select the button on the screen, or select the control you want from the dropdown. |
| 3 | Select [+] to add the control. Insert image here: s2_0X_img02_program-button.png — The Lesson Builder with the Add Control dropdown open and a button control available to add; highlight the Add Control dropdown and the [+] control. Alt: The Lesson Builder with the Add Control dropdown open and a button control ready to add. |
What if a button does not work?
Contact your Local Administrator first. If your Local Administrator cannot resolve the issue, submit a case through the Skyllful support portal.
