What is Automation?
Automation is an exciting feature that makes it possible to automatically trigger Interactivity without the visitor needing to select a clickable area on the page. Simply add the module off page and add Automation to the module that will 'trigger' it.
Example
Ryan has created a Social Media Policy and would like to test his staff on the information shown in a video within the document. In order to do this, he uses Automation to automatically launch an Assessment module once the video has finished playing.
How to set up Automation
Navigate to a Document.
Select ‘Interactivity’ for the Version of the Document that you want to work on.
A minimum of two modules are required to set up Automation.
Module 1 - This is the module that you want to automate - ensure it is positioned off-page.
Module 2 - This is the module is the 'trigger' and where you will add Automation to.
Click on module 2 on your page, and select the wand icon from the fly-out menu.
