I’m looking for is an advanced action/variables that can allow you to:

Aggregate the results of four text-entry boxes on the same slide (this is not a quiz slide).

4 correct entries = brings up a success caption & allows the user to advance to the next part of the course.

3 correct entries = brings up a hint caption and gives the user two options – 1) allows the user to advance 2) takes the user to a review section.

2 or less correct entries = brings up a failure caption and takes the user to a review section.

    Yup, that’s what I thought… I guess they could miss the answer by accident, but in general I guess they would do if this if they didn’t know the answer. That’s fine.


    Hello,

    Here is the link to the blog post:

    You can literally use the same advanced actions in Captivate 5. You'll have a normal Next and Review button (instead of a shape button), and perhaps you do not need the 'actor' I added. Let me know if you have issues or questions.

    Do you want to report as well or only do the actions you were explaining?

    Are you using the Submit button for each TEB? Can the sequence be imposed or not? If you explain that, I'll try to work out a scenario tomorrow, now it is almost midnight here.

    No need to report, only execute the actions that were explained

    Yes, the submit buttons are being used for each TEB – you could impose a sequence, but would prefer not to if possible.

    And you do not want an extra button to 'check' but whatever is the last submit button should cause the actions to be executed I suppose...
