Hi,

I don't know why, I am not able to see the video for the following search:

"using-text-entry-boxes-and-advanced-actions-to-create-branched-courses"

Long back, I was able to view it, but now I am not able to view it. I think there is some plugin issue. Please help me in resolving the issue.

Thanks,

Shalini

    Thanks again for your prompt reply.

    I am creating an elearning course for one of the software. I want to create login screen boxes on the blank slides for entering username and password as we login to any application. So that, while viewing the elearning output, the user get the feel of logging in to the application itself.  I think using text entry boxes and adding variables I would be able to add successful or failure pop ups messages on entering right or wrong username and password.


    OK, it is not really branching which you want, but checking if the user has put in something in the fields? Validating the entries will be difficult, that is normally a functionality of the LMS. If it is only to test if user understand they have to enter 'anything' in those fields, maybe this could help:

    Will you deploy the course from a LMS? It is possible that the user variable cpQuizInfoStudentName is populated with the name from the LMS. You have to check, it also depends on the way the LMS-accounts have been set up. Password is a lot more difficult.

    Can you put the URL? Or, explain what you want to learn, maybe there are other resources? Which version are you using, it is possible that new features made that video irrelevant?

    Thanks for quick response.

    Yes I am able to access the URL. The URL I am using is as follows:

    https://elearning.adobe.com/2011/08/using-text-entry-boxes-and-advanced-actions-to-create-branched-courses/

    I want to create a login screen using text entry boxes and want to add some advance actions to it.

    I am using Adobe Captivate 9. At this same url, almost 4-5 months back I saw two videos followed by the below content:

    1. There are a lot of ways to create branched courses. One of the simple yet powerful way is to use the capability of text entry boxes along with advanced actions. Here’s an example where I’ve branched the course based on the user input in a text entry box.
    2. Let’s see a step-by-step demonstration to create such branching. We will store the user input in a variable and associate the variable with the text entry box. Then, write a conditional action to establish branching.

       

    Can you please help me so that I can view them again! They were awesome.

    Thanks,

    Shalini

    This is on the Learning portal, and as I suspected, pretty old if you are using the most recent version. I am just a user like you, cannot help you with videos that are deprecated for some reason. I don't even understand why one would use TEB's to branch at all, but that is another question.

    Tell me exactly what you want to do? There is no real need for a TEB to branch. You can have a look at this blog post, where I use a dropdown menu with hyperlinks to branch:

    More is in a... hyperlink - Dropdown Menu - Captivate blog

    Another approach would be to use the Dropdown interaction, which allows the user to choose an item, and using a conditional action based on the value of the variable, branches:

    Dropdown Interaction - tips - Captivate blog

    The article you are referring too was probably for CP5.5, or maybe 6. Lot more has become available since that version.
