Variables and Advanced Actions

Altering content based on the learner's location

The cpInfoGeolocation variable gives you access to the location of the learner, and your custom v_locationBelgium variable defines what area of the world you consider as Belgium. In this section, you will create a conditional Advanced Action that will compare these two Variables and decide whether slide 2 must be displayed to the learner or skipped. We will do this by using the following steps:

  1. Use the Project | Advanced Actions tab to open the Advanced Actions dialog.
  2. Type in checkBeLocation as the name of the action.
