Drag and Drop Success Message and Timer on all frames in Captivate

Hi All,

I am trying to do two things in a captivate project I am working upon currently. They are :-

1. I have a drag and drop exercise where I have chosen the setting that the drop does not accept the incorrect drag item and sends it back immediately. I am trying to make a success caption like 'Good Job' or somethign appear on the user putting all the drag source in the correct drop boxes. I am not using the submit button. Once the success caption appears the user can click on a next button to move to next slide. I am not able to put the success caption there.

2. I am trying to put an active timer on the slides so the user can see the total time of elearning, time elapsed or time left on all slides.

Can you guys help me out with these issues I have.

Thanks

Aashish

Hi

1.  You need to set the activity to Auto Submit correct answers. It is under Options accordion in the Drag and Drop properties. Then, execute an advanced action to Show the success caption and the Next button on Success of the activity.

2. For this, I would recommend Lilybiri's blog here.

What did you do with the Submit button? Did you activate Auto Submit? Be careful with just deleting essential objects for D&D, same as for question slides.

Explanation about Success caption can be found in this article:

There are two learning interactions, Hourglass and Timer that you can use (besides the work flow explained in the other article). And it is important to know the difference between 'editor's time' and real time. This is explained in the article that Sreekanth pointed to.
