Question

Surveys: Possible to Exclude Submit Button & Enable Review?

Hello,

Please forgive me for the layered question(s). I searched the forums/internet for both of these, and I could really use some help. I am learning Captivate at my employer's request (I've been studying on Lynda.com) and I am currently using Captivate 9 for Win 10.

The survey(s) I need to make must:

-Allow users to review their answers at the end

-Lead users to different slides based on their answers, no submit button needed

(I admit, for the demo that I had to whip together today, I "cheated" and made shapes into buttons on content slides, rather than customizing quiz/survey slides. I assume I will have to make a survey page for each page I want to have reviewed (if reviewing is possible for surveys) but the customization was just so much easier without using quiz slides!)

Reviewing

Is it possible for users to review their results from a survey (rather than from a quiz)? Or better yet, review their answers from my version that does not use quiz slides? (I'm betting not...)

Branching Survey without Submit

By making shapes into buttons, I was able to remove the need for a "submit" button, (users instantly move to the next slide upon answering), and each button jumped to the appropriate slide. However, I think in order to allow users to review their answers, I will have to make the final version with quiz/survey slides. Is there a way to remove the submit button and instead make each button lead to a specific slide as soon as its clicked? Perhaps there's a workaround by making multiple disguised submit buttons with different success actions?

For example: the question is: "What kind of hair do you have?" Possible answers: "curly" "straight "wavy"

Upon clicking their answer, each button would immediately lead to a different slide.

Thank you for your help!

Quiz slides, have very strict rules. Have a look at:

Question Question Slides in Captivate - Captivate blog

Review is normally activated by using the Review button on the Score slide, but since you are using Survey questions, I'm not sure. Mostly I will use custom questions for survey reasons because it offers me total control. I am using standard objects like you did for those custom question slides. Why should that be 'cheating'? Each interactive object can be scored and included in the normal quiz work flow.

Hi Lilybiri,

Thank you so much! I am reading (and re-reading) your post, though I admit my head is swimming a bit. You said quiz slides have strict rules, but I am still confused about customized content slides with interactive objects. Can I enable the user to score/review these "normal" slides with my custom interactive objects? Or is the review function simply a way to allow the user to scroll back through the questions? Each survey page already has a back button, in case of choosing an answer they didn't want.


Our survey would not have a Submit button (users simply click their answer and the page moves accordingly) so I'm not sure if a scroll-back review function would be able to show which of 2-4 different buttons the user pressed on each page (like the hair example in the original post.)

I think my employer wants users to be able to click "review answers" and see on one slide (like a quiz results page) what they answered for each question. I just don't think I can do that with content slides...

No, Review button on the Score slide, will get you back to the first slide with a scored object (like a button) but the correct/entered answers will not be visible like for question slides. If you want that, you will have to use advanced/shared actions to program such a functionality. You can use the system variable cpInReviewMode in a conditional action that checks the situation, and shows the 'review feedback' when that system variables has the value '1'. It is a Boolean variable.
