HI,  I am using Adobe Captivate 2017, we don't have an LMS.  As a work around I thought I could use the Certificate Widget, that users could print out when they have passed the quiz at the end of the module, However, I am unable to get the certificate to print the user name.  I have a name input field at the beginning of the module, but I'm not sure what variable to use so it is on the certificate.  It is printing the date, the score, and have the name of the module entered on the Widget, but just can't get a name.  Can anyone please help with this.

    The variable used in the certificate interaction is a user variable which is automatically defined in each project:

    cpQuizInfoStudentName

    You''ll see it under Project, Variables.

    You need to assciate this user variable to the Text Entry Box where you ask for the name.

    Thanks, that could be my problem, as I don't have that variable in my list - how can I fix this please.  Thanks so much for your help.

    You did't read my answer carefully. I never told that it is a system variable, it is a USER variable. You show me the system variables of the quizzing category. Go back to the user variables, please.

    I told the team that this would be confusing, starting the names of those user variables with cp, which is normally the start of system variables.
