Shared Interactions?
posted

Can someone write a help article on how to use this feature? I have a feeling it's crucial but the program doesn't give me enough feedback to know if I am using it correctly.

Thank you.

    The label "share interaction" isn't the most intuitive, and the help document linked above is pretty hard to follow. Some specific examples would go a long way to helping explain. I did manage to figure it out, after some work. Here is how I am using the feature:

    Scenario: I have a text field with a default prompt. When I focus on that field, the prompt is cleared out. I type my input into the field, and move on to the next text field.

    To build this interaction, I build a text field and apply the interaction "Tap/click" > "Change this screen" > "To New State." The new state shows a blank text field (with no prompt)* to simulate clearing the field. Now, if I don't active the "Share Interaction" button for this state and just run the prototype, when a user types info into the text field and then moves to the next field, their input is dumped and the prompt text reappears. If I DO activate "Share Interaction," the user-modified state of the text box gets preserved.

    *I just started using Indigo Studio a few days ago, so my "change state to clear the text field in one click" solution may not be the most elegant.
