Option to choose date - Captivate 8

[Arun Raman]

How can we provide an option for learner to provide a date as input of a survey question?  (In my case I am building an IT Induction video where I would like to know their date of joining).

Thank you.

I'm not sure what you mean by "date of joining." If you mean date that they launched your Captivate project, there are several system variables that you might be able to make use of.

Go to this page and scroll down to the section on System Information to see all the Adobe Captivate system variables related to date or time.

I also just double checked as well that all the date and time related system variables were available in Captivate 8 as well as 9.

I think what the original poster is looking for might be a Date Picker widget of some kind that allows the user to select a date and use that as an input into a field.

Rpd is correct, but I'm not aware of such an available widget. It can be done with 3 Text Entry Boxes (Day, Month, Year or in another sequence) and show the result concatenated in a text container, but a real date picker? Maybe with JS?
