Question

Force user to pass each question individually before moving forward- Captivate 5

I would like to force the user to pass each question before moving on.  I have it set to infinite attempts and the user can answer as many times as they would like but unfortunately they also can click the forward button to move on.  How do I keep them from being able to do that?.  I don't want the user to have to complete the whole quiz before being redirected back to the questions they missed i.e. the user must pass the quiz to continue.  I am working in Captivate 5.  I have a coworker working in Captivate 4 and the user is not allowed to move forward in that version.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

If we take off the playbar completely then the user can not go back to previous slides to get the answer.  Can we only disable the forward button until the user answers correctly?  We have done this in both Captivate 3 and 4 in the past and was not required to work with the variables, I'm not sure if it was a default.  I appreciate your help very much.

Hello,

I would set the variable cpCmndShowPlaybar to 0  to hide the playbar when entering the first Question slide. This can be done as a simple action on Enter this slide (Assign action) The only way to proceed then for the user is to answer each question. Be sure to reset the same variable to 1, once you want to show the playbar again.

FYI: I blogged once to give an introduction to variables, here is the link:
