Question

Submit quiz results to one single .csv file

How can I submit quiz results (over 200 people will be taking my captivate quiz) to a single .csv file?

Right now, the quizes are submitted to my email address and attached to the email as a POSTDATA.ATT file. I have to manually go into my Outlook and save attachment as "FnameLname.csv”. So each quiz taker will have an individual .csv file! So I will have over 100 emails and over 100 .csv files!!!!!

How can I make the quiz results submit to a single Quiz_Results.csv file on my web server instead?

    The way I would do this is to submit the scores into a database. In between Captivate and the database you'll need middleware (.asp, asp.net, ColdFusion, etc.). This middleware receives your data from Captivate and processes it - submitting it into the database. You can then write another middleware page that produces a report (web page table, or exports .csv file) with the data stored the database.

    Another possibility is to use Captivate's built-in SCORM functionality and submit user scores into an LMS, then run reports and export .csv files from your LMS.

    Sorry - I don't think this functionality is built into Captivate to join multiple records into one .csv file.
