Each option is configured in the web editor with: * A **choice label** * A defined **destination step** You must select one of the available options to continue. You cannot proceed forward without making a selection. This behavior is identical in **Author Mode** and **Operator Mode**. ## When This Appears A Choice Step appears when the procedure includes conditional branching. It is used when: * The workflow depends on a decision * Different outcomes require different next steps * The procedure must branch into separate paths Choice Steps are commonly used in troubleshooting flows, conditional inspections, or multi-path workflows. *** ## Screen Elements Choice Step panel with one of the option labels in focus The Choice Step panel includes: * Task title * Step numbering * Instruction text (for example, **Please select the Required option below**) * One or more selectable options (maximum supported: 3 options) * A back arrow in the top-left corner There is no forward navigation button available on this step. ## Media Panel Behavior Media panel displaying an attached video for the current step with a play button The Media Panel behaves the same as in any other step: * If an image is attached to the step, it is displayed. * If a video is attached: * The video auto-plays when the step is entered. * The video plays in a loop. * The user can manually play or pause. * The user can mute or unmute. If no media is attached, the Media Panel does not appear. This behavior is consistent in both Author and Operator modes. ## 3D Models Behavior 3D Model panel shown for reference; in Operator Mode the panel is not displayed, but authored models appear in the scene at their saved positions ### In Operator Mode * The 3D Model Panel is NOT visible. * Any GLB models attached to the Choice Step are shown. * Operator cannot spawn models into physical space. * Interactable and ghost settings behave according to their configuration in Author Mode. ### In Operator Mode * The 3D Model Panel is not displayed. * If 3D models were placed during authoring: * They appear in the scene at their authored positions. * Interaction depends on configuration: * If **Interactable** is disabled, the operator cannot move or manipulate the model. * If **Ghost** is disabled, no original-position shadow is shown. * If both are disabled, the operator can only view the model. This behavior is identical to other step types. *** # Select a Choice A choice step option in focus, with a loading indicator filling around the option label. When the indicator completes, the option is automatically activated. ## Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Review the available options. 2. Focus one of the options with the **ray** or **head-gaze cursor** — a **loading indicator** starts filling around the focused option. 3. Hold your focus on the option until the indicator completes. The option is then **automatically activated**, and the procedure advances to the destination step configured for that choice. You can also **air-tap** the option to activate it immediately without waiting for the indicator, or say the option **label exactly as it appears** (for example, *"Start with the alternator"*) to activate it by voice. See [Voice Commands in Operator Mode](/frontline/procedures/operator/voice-commands) for the choice-label voice command. ## What Happens Next * The system immediately navigates to the destination step configured for that choice. * The procedure continues along the selected branch. * Navigation follows the defined structure of that branch until another Choice Step or Completion Step is reached. *** ## Navigation Behavior * You cannot move forward without selecting an option. * The forward navigation control is not available on a Choice Step. * You can use the back arrow (if available) to return to the previous step. * Back navigation returns you to the previous step within the active branch. *** ## Configuration Note All choice labels and their destination steps are configured in the web editor during procedure creation. Authors must ensure: * Each option has a valid destination. * Branches either rejoin the main flow or end with an appropriate Completion Step. In branching procedures, manually added Completion Steps are often required to properly terminate each path.
