Want to launch a course from the first splash page

Hi,

I have used a text entry box on the splash screen and the name entered on this page is used later in the course to welcome the learner. When I exit and launch the course again, the course begins from the Menu page instead of splash page. Menu page comes after splash page. I want learners to be able to change their name on the splash screen in case they don't enter it the first time or want to correct it. However, the course never shows the splash screen again. So, the learner gets only one chance to enter their name and see the splash page.

Is there any way to start the course from the splash screen on each launch instance?

Looking forward to find some resolution here.

Warm regards,

Pritee Bagwe

    I am using captivate 9. I am a bit new to Captivate. I have never used a Boolean variable .


    Conditional action would need two decisions:

    First decision 'Always'

       IF 1 is equal to 1

           Assign v_visit with 1

    Second decision 'CheckIt'

      IF v_visit is equal to 0

         Go to Previous Slide

         Continue

    ELSE

         Continue

    I don't know what you mean by 'splash screen'. A Captivate course will start with the first slide, have no idea how you could put a Text Entry Box on something else than a slide.

    Hi!

    Splash screen is the first screen of any course. In this case, it is the first slide of the captivate project. On this first slide, I have a text entry box.

    Thank you!

    Yes, it's a SCORM project and our LMS is also SCORM Compliant. I have not included TOC in my course. I have created a custom Menu page for navigation. So, I need to check the option 'Never Send Resume Data' (Advanced button for Manifest), right?

    Will it affect reporting? I have a graded assessment at the end of the course. If I check the aforementioned option, will it affect the score or completion status in any way?


    TOC was only for non-Scorm.

    That option is to take out bookmarking, although it looks strange that the user is always navigated to the second slide, normally he should be navigated to the last visited slide. Are you sure not to have any navigational action on the first slide?

    Score transfer is not influenced by taking out bookmarking.
