Drag & Drop submit Incorrect Answer

[teresab82435819]

Hi

I have tried several of the drag& drop templates in Captivate 2019. All of them only allow the learner to submit correct answers. If the learner drags a drop source to the wrong target it automatically returns to the origin. 

Does anyone know how to turn this off and allow people to submit incorrect answers?

Thanks for your help

I don't know what you mean exactly because Captivate has never been packaged with 'templates' which are cptl-files. Maybe you mean the Quick Start Projects? If that is the case, could you please identify the project and the number of the slide you are talking about? It is indeed possible to have Auto Submit for correct answers, but if you use a Submit button it is possible to submit an incorrect answer and you will get the Failure message. The setup shows that you don't use Auto Submit.

The so-called 'Failure' action is in reality a Last Attempt action, happens only after the last attempt. But in the screenshot you show there is only one attempt, which means that the Last Attempt action is the unique Failure action. 

Please tell me what you mean exactly because now I am only guessing and explain the basics of Drag&Drop.  In the screenshot it is impossible to see if that slide is scored or if it is just used as a Knowledge Check slide. Difference would be that the D&D slide is reset if it is a KC slide when leaving the slide, it will not be reset if it is a scored slide.

"if you use a Submit button it is possible to submit an incorrect answer" that is what i want to happen. If you drag an item to the wrong location it automatically reverts to the start postion. That is the problem.  The items only "stick" if you get it correct.

I have run into this with several templates including 

The slide is not part of a quiz, it is not scored.

Those are NOT templates (is important), they are Quick Start Projects, which you can freely use and edit by replacing text, images, edit setups etc. A template file has placeholders as in master slides, and placeholder slides.

OK, now I know which slides you are point at. What you see in those slides is due to the setup of the Drag&Drop Interaction. I looked at the setup in Alliance. Here are the steps to correct this so that you can submit an incorrect answer. I will add a screenshot as well:

• Go to the Drag&Drop panel (can be opened from Window menu).
• Make the interaction visible by clicking the eye icon if it is barred with a red slash
• Select one of the drop targets. They have a blue border. You'll see that the Format tab has now options.
• In the format tab, click the button 'Object actions'. Title is bit confusing, because the dialog box which appears has not only Object actions but controls also the behavior after dropping a drag source in this targe.
• You will see that the option 'Accept All' has been unchecked, and only one Drag source is allowed on this target. You will also see the 'Go Back' option here.
• You need to change these settings. I did it an here is the resulting screenshot:
  

You need to repeat this workflow for each of the drop targets. I may write out a blog to explain how to edit Drag&Drop slides from the QSPs. I already blogged several times about them, to explain workflows. Here are two links:
