In an assessment - display visual indicator to user of where they have clicked on screen before submitting an answer?

Thank you! A quiz hotspot slide was actually exactly what I needed - so simple!

I am bit lazy, so always look for the most simple solution.

Do not use a click box, but a shape button. Give it two states:

• Norma: where you set Alpha=0 and Stroke=0
• Visited (InBuilt state as well) where you add the visual indicator (maybe just a red stroke to the shape).

The visited state shows up wne the click has happened. You don't have to worry about it. Problem is that, notwithstanding several feature requests posted, the Visited state is not part of the object style. You will have to use copy/paste to keep the Visited state.

Depends a bit on...

• if the whole screen is basically the potential target area for the clicks or only certain defined screen areas/ elements
• how exact do you want this click detection to be - do you need the exact x/y coordinates in px or do you just need to know on which screen area/ element the learner clicked

If the latter on both points above, you might put SmartShapes used as buttons over the target areas, give them an invisible default state, and a second visible state and delete Rollover- and Downstate, and then have the learner's click on those Shapes change the state from invisible to visible.

If pixel precision and/ or whole slide as target area is required, things get much more tricky. To my knowledge, there's no Out-of-the-Box UI functionality that does that in Captivate, so you'd have to employ some custom scripting here, I guess.
