Retake Quiz after fail

I have an interesting issue which I hope someone can help me with.

 

I have set up a quiz at the end of my training. I am goving the user 3 attempts at the quiz and then if they are still unsuccessful then they are redirected to the start of the Quiz again.


The issue is when I get the the slide before the quiz, the slides just lock and will not advance.

 

I have tried everything to remedy this, (Javascript to reset the quiz attempts) Has anyone any ideas? I have tried it via my LMS and also just in preview and the same things happen. It this Captivate or me?

 

Any help / suggestions would be much apprechiated!

 

Thank you in advance

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes the first time it works perectly. I have set it to 3 attempts and if I pass any of these it works perfectly. If I fail 3 attempts it goes back to slide one as expected but when I advance through the training again, thee slide I have prior to the quiz nothing happens when I press the next button. The slide before is just one button saying continue. The action behid this button is advance to next slide

     

     

    I am using Captivate 9 2019 version

    Perhaps I misunderstand fully.

    Sounds to me that it is working as configured. You are allowing only three attempts.

    As such, after three failed attempts - you are not allowed to proceed to the quiz.

     

    Is there something I am missing here? Can you try to explain some more about what you want to have happen?

    • Hi it would be a loop 3 attampts, redo training, 3 attempts, redu training, and so on

    Sounds like you might have to leave attempts set to unlimited then.

    I would seriously consider using the variables and creating your own logic for making the loop.
    I am not sure how else to accomplish that.

     

    You have a couple system variables to help you with this.

    cpQuizInfoAttempts

    cpQuizInfoPassFail

     

    You would need to perform a check on these variables at the completion of each quiz attempt to determine whether the learner is done or if they need to be redirected to either the first slide or the beginning of the quiz again.

    You might consider additional logic along the way to lock or unlock buttons if you really want to enforce retaking the training. Removing the playbar as well to prevent scrubbing and use your own navigation.

    This will be an ambitious task.

    Hmm...

    I think we will need a little more information in order to help.

    I am wondering whether you are able to take the quiz the first time...?

    Or does it only lock up after the first attempt?

     

    Also - what does navigation look like? Are you not able to navigate backwards either?

    Is there something else pausing the project?
