I am trying to create a training software simulation in which users will need to fill in online forms with names and emails, obviously this will change based on the user.
How do I manipulate the text entry box so that any value the users types is acceptable? For instance, If I type Brian I can move on and if someone else types Jill it is still accepted by captivate.
A Text Entry Box can be used with and without validation. In your case it should be without validation. Since you probably do not want that they submit an empty field, you can create an advanced action that checks that, and shows a message when the entry is empty. The way to do that is described in this old article (you need a Flash enabled browser to watch the movie):
Where is Null? - Captivate blog
The logic is still the same, but I don't know which version you are using? The dialog box for Advanced actions changed in CP2017, screenshots will look different.
Another possibility is to replace the Text Entry Boxes by Scrolling Text interactions. I used that approach in this example:

All fields that are filled in (you need a Flash enabled browser to watch the movie) are using that interaction.
