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.
