Question

CP6 Certificate Interaction User Name?

Hi,

So I'm playin with the new "interactions" in cp6, in particular the certificate. I see that you can automatically have the User Name inserted, but where does CP get this from? I can't find a variable defined, nor can I define one of "User Name" (with space). I know I can insert my own using the "other" field, but it seems silly when the widget is tryin to provide it for me. So how do I get the lesson to fill in the User Name so it is displayed on the certificate?

Thanks,

Lori

As a software developer I read this discussion and shake my head.

Does anybody test these "interactions" before they're shipped?  I mean, Adobe Captivate is a commercial product, right?  And it's fairly expensive.  So I'd expect a fairly rigorous testing regime to be in place.

Could we please have this issue addressed as a matter of urgency because I seriously don't have the time to look for workarounds for every bug.

Hi,

Please try these steps and see if you can make this working, There is another issue with this interaction when you print it after completion, It won't the print the value of the variable.

But here are the steps.

1. Go to Project>Variables> Create a User Defined Variable with the name "v_Name" and save it.

2. Enter a Text Entry Box and Go to the TEB's property and Under General Tab>Change the Variable to v_Name.

3. Enter another slide and insert the Interaction and go to the widget properties>Click on Edit variables and in the empty box jusy type "v_Name" Press OK.

And Play the project it will ask you to enter the name and then displays the name in certificate. However as I said it won't print this is a known issue.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi Lori,

There are four different variables in the Certificate Interaction.

  1. For the User Name define a variable v_Name (under Project->Variable) .
  2. Score will give the Quiz Results i.e. Percentage scored.
  3. Date will be picked automatically from System
  4. There can be one user defined variable (i.e. OTHER) ->Define a variable with the same name.

While run time all the variables will be correspondingly populated.

Let us know if you have any more queries.

Regards,

Nitin Kumar
