I have some requirement,

I have 2 Pool in Question Manager, Each pool having 10 question

I need 5 random question. now when we insert randon question captivate have option that from which pool u need to insert that's fine.

But is there any way that we can select pool as per our requirement before performing test.

Example

I have L, M, H pool

now i need to take test according to person skill, so when Lower person come then i can select L pool runtime(during swf running) then 5 random question ask from L pool, if Medium person come then i select M runtime, and Higher person come then i can select H.

Means this option i can set during swf running(runtime) according to that my Random question comes from.

Hi there

Am I correct in that you asked the same question in the thread linked below:

So you started a new thread in response to clarify that?

My guess is that you can take two different approaches.

Approach number 1:

Create three different Captivate projects. One for the L users, one for the M users and one for the H users. Then have a fourth project that determines which type of user you have. After determining the type, this project will then open the appropriate second project.

Approach number 2:

Everything is inside a single Captivate project. You have a section with five random questions from pool L, another section with five random questions from pool M and a third section with five random questions from pool H. Then in an early slide you determine which section they should be in and you jump to that section.

Hopefully that helps... Rick

Hi there Captiv8r,

I am using Captivate4 and outputting to HTML and I have a similar problem to mitpancha in that I need to pre select a question pool, immediately prior to startting the quiz, where the selection is dependant on the user type.  I agree that both solutions you presented to mitpancha will work, however they are not suitable for my project.

Generating 3 captivate projects will mean increased maintenance in the future, my course content is extensive and if I have to replicate changes then there is a high probability of introducing errors.

Using different branches doesn't work for me because the quiz summary totals all questions in the project (with 3 different quizzes of 5 questions each the summary slide shows that the student should have attempted 15 questions).

I had hoped that I could set the question pool name from an interactive object as this would have been a simple and effective solution but the question pool doesn't appear in the list of system variables.

So after all that my questions are:

1.     Is there any way I can access the program code to set the question pool name?

or

2.     Is it possible to have more than one summary slide in a project?
