Advanced Actions- Execute Javascript on Button to reload project

I have created a short Quiz on captivate 8, and would like, on a failed attempt to reload this project again via a button click (with Execute Javascript Advanced Action) on the results page, which will reload the tab the user is on, restart the project from the first slide and re-randomise the questions displayed.

 

Can this be done? Any help will be appreciated

 

I'm currently using: window.location.reload(true);

but this doesn't restart the project.

 

The attached picture shows how i'm setting up the advanced action row.

 

Thanks!

That is indeed totally different.

You cannot have another subset of questions during the same session. Please add your voice to many other users by logging a feature request.

Learner needs to close the session and restart a new session. Then a new subset of random questions will appear.

Alternative would be to include the 20 questions, generate 5 random numbers (with JS) and set up custom navigation to exactly those 5 quiz slides. In that case you can generate a new set of 5 numbers when quiz is failed.

I don't know what you mean by 'tab'? Nor how many attempts you have on Quiz level?

Restarting the project if there is Failure? If you have only one attempt on Quiz level, use the action 'If Failing Grade' from 'Continue' to 'Jump to slide 1' if that is the first content slide.

Another easy way which would also work when you have multiple attempts on Quiz level is to put an interactive object (button, Text Entry Box) on the first content slide, and include it in the Quiz. It can have a very small score. That means that the quiz scope will start on that slide, and when using the Retake button on the score slide the learner will automatically get to that first slide with the button.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear originally.

     

    The quiz is only 5 random question slides (but from a pool of 20) so, if the user were to fail, I wanted the browser window/project to refresh, to ensure the user doesn't receive the same questions again.

    I want the users to be able have to muliple attempts at the quiz but not be able to know the questions which will appear.

     

    Hope this is able to make more sense 🙂
