Insert Scenario Interaction using Adobe Presenter

With Adobe Presenter you can create scenario-based training slides that are easily customizable -- these scenario templates contain the complete question vs. answer flows. For example, if you select the Business scenario, the flow is pre-defined as one question with multiple options. You just need to select the number of options and select the correct answer number. When you publish these scenarios, the user views only the questions initially. The options within the scenario-based training are displayed logically. The user has to complete answering the question by selecting the right answer, otherwise the user cannot navigate to the next slide as the play bar and the side bar are locked.

Before you insert an scenario interaction -- here are the few things you should keep in mind:

1. There is no score associated for scenario-based interactions.
2. Make sure you always use the Insert Scenario Interaction option to create a new interaction. Do not copy and paste slides inside the presentation to make copies of scenarios.
3. Scenario interactions only work in the new XML based PPTX file format. The interactions work as normal PowerPoint slides in the older PPT file format.

Follow these steps to insert a scenario interaction:

1. Within PowerPoint, access the Adobe Presenter tab of the Ribbon, and click the down-arrow below the Interaction button, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1. This brings up a drop-down list -- here select the Insert Scenarios Interaction option, as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 1.

11. C. Number of Options

12. Click to bring up a drop-down list, as shown in Figure 5. Here you can choose the number of options to be used within the selected scenario interaction. Options here typically represent the number of questions -- each template is different in this respect.

14. D. Correct Option

15. Since we chose 3 options, we can see that we now need to choose one answer within the Correct Option drop-down list (shown in Figure 6). The choices are from A, B and C -- you can choose the option which you want to to keep as correct option for the question asked within the scenario interaction.
