    What exactly do the "levels" in Browse Sequence Editor mean?

      Hi

       

      I have a ToC with three levels Unit > Lesson > Topic > Sub Topic. This ToC is coming from the linked FM. The ToC is paginated at Topic level and Sub Topic is basically a section within the Topic.

       

      Now, I wanted my users to navigate through the course at sub topic level using Browse Sequence buttons. For example, in the screenshot shared below, I want the users to move from First Sub Heading sub topic to Second Sub Heading topic using Browse Sequence buttons. I thought I could achieve this by increasing the browse sequence levels. But that is not working. So, I am curious. What do these mean? Can I actually achieve my goal at all? If browse sequence level is not the correct way, can somebody please help me with the right approach?

      Thanks

          Hi there

           

          So, with the Browse Sequence Editor, you are able to create multiple sequences. For example, perhaps you have multiple "paths" you can take Logically move from one topic to the next. In that case, multiple sequences would be helpful.

           

          The option to use the "Levels" in the TOC will create a new Sequence for all topics in that level.

           

          Cheers... Rick

            Thanks Rick. That is how I thought it would work and on that understanding, I specified "4" levels so that my learner can use the button to move from First Subheading to Second Subheading. But that is not working.

             

            4 levels as per my screenshot/ understanding: Unit > Lesson > First-level heading > First Subheading.

             

            Any idea why?

              Hello again

               

              Unless I'm misunderstanding, it sounds like you one one single sequence that would move from top to bottom of the TOC. I call these "page turners". To accomplish that goal, enter 0 for the levels and you should be set.

               

              Cheers... Rick

                Not really Rick. I want a new sequence to be created at Subheading level, that is, the 4th level.  I will try to explain this further.

                First level: I am on Unit 1. I click the Next button and I go to Unit 2. Works fine.

                Second Level: I am on Lesson 1 of Unit 1. I click the Next button. I go to Lesson 2 of Unit 1. Works fine.

                Third Level: I am on First-level heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. I click the Next button. I go to Second heading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1. Works fine.

                Fourth Level: I am on First subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading. I click the Next button. I must go to Second subheading of Unit 1 > Lesson 1 > First-level heading (which in my case is the Conditional text book). But it does not. Instead, it jumps from First subheading to Second-level heading.

                 

                Here is the screenshot again so that you don't have to scroll up.

                  Please note that if the automatic generation feature isn't working as you want, you are also able to adjust what is created once you auto generate a sequence. So with Browse Sequences, you get to choose which topic should link to any other topic. You may simply need to open the Browse Sequence editor and adjust things a bit using manual methods.
