dominKnow | ONE has a great range of options for working with variables. Here are the starting points you need to know.

The dominKnow I ONE authoring platform provides the tools to rapidly create engaging digital learning content. Using Variables throughout your course content will enrich the interactive learning experience for your target audience, and take your authoring skills to the next level. There are countless ways in which authors can use variables, from the basic system variables to complex, customised variables, with conditions, that will add a level of programming-like control to your authoring ski...

One of our most anticipated feature is a 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦-𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 for managing complex training content, at scale.

Easily create, update, and track variables across your projects with 𝗩𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿, making collaboration and content management smoother and more efficient. 👇

Steps to create a Project Variable from the Manage Variables panel.

Once the variable is created it will be available when you are ready to set up actions to affect it or as a value to display in a text element or as a variable you can check as a Condition on an Action.

And once you have used it in any of these contexts the Manage Variables panel will track where and how it has been used throughout the Project.

Quickly understand where a Custom Variable is used throughout your Project including what actions set it, where it is used as a Condition for an action and where it is displayed in a text field

Easily change a variable's name, description and initial value or remove it from your project altogether

You can create variables that can be used across ALL your projects in dominKnow | ONE!

Update a global variable once, and it reflects everywhere, saving you time and effort and helps with consistency.

Easily set up variables for company name, product names and more to use globally in any Project and easily update when needed

What if you need to have variables that are unique to a specific page of your course, ensuring they don't affect other parts of your project?

In dominKnow | ONE - you can!

Watch our explainer video to see how Page Variables can help you customize and enhance your training content with ease.

As you create a Project, you’re adding in all kinds of information like the Project’s name, the names of Pages it contains, or what the passing score is for a test.

A lot of that information is available as a System Variable that you can display in a text element.

This example shows how to set a text element to display the System Variable for the name of the Project.

These same steps apply to any of the other available System Variables.

You can display the value of variables in any text element

A lesson on using a Mood gauge

Use these steps to create your own non-linear-navigation courses

You can use a button to set a Boolean variable to True or False. In this example, we're setting the Variable to True to track that the learner competed the Page by using the Return To Menu button. We can then evaluate the Variable's state on other pages and use it to trigger other events.

How to set a button to increase a variable by 1 when a button is clicked.

You can display the value of a variable as part of a text element. In this lesson we'll set up a text element so it shows the text the learner types into a Text Input form control (their name) on the page as a simple example.

Add a type-in box to a page.

Steps to add a Mood Gauge to any page.

Steps to set an element to increase a Custom Variable by 1 when the learner clicks on the element.

In dominKnow | ONE, you create a Custom Variable as part of setting up the first action that will set its value. (You don't need to create the varibale first then create the action to set its value.)

In this example the action is set to fire only once so if the learner clicks on the element more than once, the variable's value isn't increased after the first time click.

After this first actio...

Steps to set a Page to evaluate a Custom Variable and when it equals the required value to trigger an Enable Next Player Control action.

In this use case, we have three buttons on a page and we want to know that all three have been selected before we allow the learner to leave the page. Before this lesson we set up actions so that as the leaner clicks each button a custom variable is increased by 1. Once all three buttons have been clicked the variable's value will be 3.

When utilizing the content API syntax is key

If you want a simulation to play continually, you can accomplish this through leveraging actions and a variable with Capture.
