Question

Custom quiz slides and results slide

I've created a software simulation and would like to attach a point value to the learner entering information into a text box and also attach a point value to the learner clicking an object on various slides, then show those results (either points or percentage) on a custom results slide. Help!

    Yes, that's correct. At this time I'm just looking for them to enter anything. The information they are entering is their full name, a username and their email address. I'm not sure how to validate those fields for a correct entry, so I'm trying to track that they put something in the field.

    I think you'll need to have a look at this old blog post:

    Where is Null? - Captivate blog

    Because you'll have to check if the field(s) is (are) empty by comparing them with an empty user variable.

    As for the score, I propose the work flow explained here:

    Report Custom Questions - part 2 - Captivate blog

    Sorry for all those links, but otherwise this would be a very long answer.

    The idea for scoring is to have two initially hidden buttons or shape buttons on that slide: one of the buttons has a score, the other has no score. That could be 'next' buttons. When you check the entry in the TEB, and you find an empty field, you'll show the button without a score. If there is an entry, you'll show the button with the score. That way the total score at the end will be correct, and the obtained score as well.

    Lilybiri, thank you for the quick reply. I'd like to also attach a point value to a learner entering text into a text entry box. They are filling out an online form. If they enter some information in the text field, I want to score that as a correct answer and attach a point value to it.

    It is pretty easy to attach a score to a TEB when it is validated, but if I understand you correctly, there are no 'correct' answers? The only requirement is that there should be some entry? No score when the TEB remains empty. Is that a correct interpretation?

    If you created a software simulation (mode Training Simulation or Assessment Simulation) those interactive objects already have a score attached to them. You can check this in the Advanced Interaction Panel (F9). If you want to transfer the results to a LMS you have to check Reporting in their properties, eventually Add to Quiz Total and set up Reporting in Quiz Preferences.

    You could use the default score slide (check Show Score slide in Quiz Preferences) because the Quizzing System variables do include all scores that are marked to be added (see that useful Advanced Interaction panel). If you prefer a custom score slide, you can use the Quizzing system variables. Some tips can be found in:

    For a complete list with system variables, for all categories, download the table from this post:
