Captivate Quiz Results Continue button. On Success go to pass or fail slide

Captivate 9.0.2.437

I am using the captivate Quiz Result slide. It would be ideal for the Continue button to send the learner to a slide determined by a pass or fail grade.

Is this possible?

More info: we have an Attestation slide that I want the user to see after the Quiz Results page, but only if passed. Can anyone offer any information on how to do this, even if I have to make my own Quiz Result page (I know the objects on the Quiz Results page are very editable).

The Continue button will launch the actions defined in the Quiz, Preferences, Pass or Fail. You have an action 'Passing Grade', and one 'Failing Grade'. Use those actions to do what you want. You'll need the default Results slide if you want Retake or Review functionality. Indeed, you could create a custom results slide, using the Quizzing system variables:

If you go for a custom score slide, use a conditional action for the 'Continue' button, that checks the system variable (Boolean), cpQuizInfoPassFail.

Thank you. I did not realize those settings were for the Continue button. Seems there should be a mention for the action items on the Pass/Fail setting page are for the continue button. Thanks again for your help.

Actually a small clarification about the Continue button is in order. 

By default, the Quiz Results slide has a pause point that stops the timeline about 1 second from the beginning of the slide.  The default length of the Quiz Result timeline is 3 seconds.

Clicking the Continue button doesn't actually do much more than allow the timeline on the Quiz Results slide to 'continue' past this pause point until it reaches the end of the slide timeline. 

THAT's actually when the Success or Failure actions for the quiz are actually executed.  Right at the end of the Quiz Result Slide timeline.  Not when the Continue button is clicked.

It's not a big deal, but it's an important detail to remember, because many Captivate users think the Continue button is executing the Success or Failure actions and are dismayed when clicking the button doesn't seem to produce any immediate result.  But if you patiently wait for the slide timeline to end, THEN things happen.

Well, Rod explained that it happens at the end of the slide, but you can push the pausing point near the end of the score slide, if you want to shorten the waiting time.

I had already changed the action items for pass/fail accordingly.

On Pass, the action is set to go to the next slide, which eliminated the delay (opposed to the default 'continue')

On fail I have an advanced action to check which attempt and if all attempts are used, we jump to a failure slide, which also eliminates a delay.

Thanks again.
