How to Create Custom Progress Bar Using Variables and Advanced Actions – Adobe Captivate 2019

Step 1:
Create a custom bar, as shown below, and give it a unique name.

Step 2:
“Display For:” Needs to be “Rest of Project” and select “Place Object on Top”. When both of these options are selected then there is no need to include the progress bar in each slide.

Step 3:
Now, add states to the progress bar by calculating slides, divided by total slides. Give a unique name for the newly added state as highlighted below.

Step 4:
For creating new variables select “Variables….” from the “Project” menu.

Step 5:
Enter a unique name in the Name field, then select Value as 0 and Save it.
Example:
(Slide1_Complete) and set the Value to “0”.
(Slide2_Complete) and set the Value to “0”.
(Slide3_Complete) and set the Value to “0”.
(Slide4_Complete) and set the Value to “0”.

Step 6:
As shown below, add the Executive Advanced Action to each slide of On Enter.
