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, I have struggled a little following your instructions due to my poor skills in this area.

     

    I have added an advanced action on the results slide which has 3 conditions

     

    This is condition one which is if the number attempts is ❤️

     

     

    Should sent it back to the start of the quiz (Slide 3)

     

    This condition is if the test is passed it should sent to Slide 8 which is a congrats slide and end

     

    This is if they fail and have had 3 attempts. 

     

    Sadly nothing happens? Not sure where I have gone wrong with this.Many thanks for your earlier answers


    You need some tables about system variable. I gave you a link with such a table. Each Quizzing System variable is explained extensively.  You clearly didn't check that table.

    cpQuizInfoPassFail is a Boolean variable. I never use True/False, but 1/0. You second part of the condition needs to be:

    If cpQuizInfoPassFail == 0

     

    I would like to seee the full action. Please use the Preview button which is the first button in the top right control panel (looks like an arrow). That way you'll see all decisions at once, including the ELSE part if available.

    I thought you wanted JS, that is why I didn't follow this thread anymore.

    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?
