You can determine the step order by moving the steps up and down in the list. Here, we position the Acknowledgement step right after the Welcome Video.

Here are a few best practices you can adopt while adding the Acknowledgement step in your activity guides. You can use any one of the options listed below to ensure that the activity guide user completes the Acknowledgement step.

  • Suppressing the Mark Complete action: If your activity guide has a Mark Complete action, then suppressing that action for the Acknowledgement step ensures that the Mark Complete button is not available to the activity guide user for that step. This can be set at the Category level using the Categories - Steps page.

    This example illustrates the Categories - Steps page displaying the setting for suppressing the Mark Complete action.

    Suppress the Mark Complete action
  • Making the Acknowledgment step as Required: If Acknowledgement is made a Required step, then the user cannot complete the activity guide without executing this step. This can be set at the Template level using the Configure Attributes page.

    This example illustrates the Configure Attributes page displaying the setting to make the Acknowledgement step as Required.

    Setting the Acknowledgment step as Required
  • Making the subsequent steps as Dependent: If subsequent steps are made dependent on the Acknowledgement step, then the activity guide user cannot move to the next step without completing the Acknowledgement step.This can be set at the Template level using the Configure Dependencies page.

    This example illustrates the Configure Dependencies page displaying the setting to make a subsequent step dependent on the Acknowledgement step.
