Which Action fires first? What order are the Actions fired in?

In dominKnow | ONE you can assign multiple Actions to the same trigger.

For example, clicking a button (the trigger) can:

  • show one element on the page
  • hide another element
  • set a variable

So, what order do these Actions get fired in?

By default, the order is the order in which the actions were created or added.

For the example above, if the Show action was created first then the Hide action was added then the Set Variable action was added, the firing order of the actions would be Show, Hide, Set Variable.

Generally these actions would all fire pretty quickly in sequence and for the learner the effect would really be close to them all firing at once. 

Using the Timer setting to control the firing order of Actions 

If you want to have greater control over the timing of multiple actions you can use the Timer option when setting up each action. 

This is available on the Element Interactions panel to the right of the Stage.

The settings are Minutes : Seconds.Decimal.

In the illustration shown here the Timer is set to 0.1 seconds, meaning the Action to show the image will fire 0.1 seconds after the Button is clicked.

A small delay like that won't be too noticeable to a learner. If you do want the learner to notice the sequencing, a longer timer setting is better to allow the learner to track the changes and create a more pronouned effect.

Can I add 2 actions one element? For example, I have a box (element) and I have one action on it which makes it branch to another page and I want to add another action on it - which will display the Next button on screen? Can I do this?

Add trigger to multiple pages in project
2022-06-22

Is there a way to add a trigger to every page in a project at once? I'm attempting to add javascript that is triggered on page load for every page in a course (after the course was already completed - this is for a migration effort). The only way I can find to do this is adding them one at a time to each page, which is painfully time-consuming.

Sequencing Question - Add more Drag & Drop Targets
2020-12-10

So I'm a newbie - trying to make a Four Step sequencing activity from the templated page that has Three Steps. Can't figure it out. Thinking there has got to be an easy way to add a set of Draggable items and Targets, as you would with other Question elements, but am not just not getting it. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

If/Then/Else Actions
2021-06-03

How do I set up an action to evaluate a variable to perform a certain task if the variable is equal to 1 or True (depending on what type of variable I'm using), but have it perform a different action if the variable is not equal to 1 or True (let's say 0 or 2 or False)? I'm not seeing wher I can enter the "else" part of the action. Do I need to enter it as a separate action? If so, does dominKnow read actions in the order they are stacked?

Why do actions disappear?
2021-09-24

Good morning!
I am having trouble modifying any "link to URL" actions (navigation and branching). They seem to disappear when I go in to view them under the "actions" tab in the sidebar. I'm also finding that the link that I indicate in the action settings doesn't work all of the time. I would prefer the links to be "modal" but they don't always work this way, and I have to get it to open in a new window (which isn't ideal for my purposes).
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thank you,
Kim

Page Trigger - Is Complete
2019-03-22

In Flow you can have long pages of content for your users to scroll through. If you want to guarantee that they have seen all of the content on a long scrolling page, then you can apply the "Is Compete" Trigger to the page.
In this simulation we will apply the "Is Complete" Trigger to the page and use the Enable Next action to allow the user to use the next button to move on.

    Unanswered Question on this, if you edit one of the actions afterwards does that end up changeing the order? So, if you edit the action that was in position 1 of 3, does it now shift to be 3 of 3? I do notice the order changes on the edit screen.
