Custom Quiz: How to update and report user-defined variable?

Hello,
I am a novice Captivate 5.5 user. Thanks to Lilibiri's blog and articles, I have managed to built a custom quiz (all with user-defined variables and advanced actions).
The quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). I have inlcuded a "Feedback Slide" that may appear after each question. For example, if a person chooses score d, they will get sent to a Feedback slide that basically says they are wrong. There is a "back" button on the "Feedback" slide that can take them back to the the prior question sllide and they can change and re-submit their answer. After they have answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Upon entry to the "Results" slide, using "advanced actions" my user-defined variable adds up all of the scores to get a total. Based on this total, one of three possible text captions boxes appear, depending on their total. And....here are my questions (I have checked and re-checked the Forum and blogs for answers - and I am so sorry if I missed them!!)
1) I have defined a variable that totals the points that the person received on the quiz. I would like this variable displayed on the Results slide. It can get it to appear in a Text Caption Box. BUT if a person changes a score and re-submits the score before entering the "Results" slide, the total score reflects EVERY score that the person has chosen (the scores that they originally chose and then changed are still included in the total).
2) I want the total score a person gets on the quiz reported to the instructor. I don't know if a user-defined variable can be reported and how to go about doing this. We will be running our quizzes on an LMS (though we haven't chosen one yet). I tried using a system variable (cpQuizInfoPointsscored), but I believe (after reading discussions on Forum), it will not work in my quiz if my scores are adjusted/changed.
3) another question - would you like me to put this in a separate discussion? I certainly can!! There is a "Back" button on the "Results" page. I have tried using "advanced actions" and "on success: move to last slide visited" but neither option will allow the user to move to the last slide visited. Ideally, I would liek a person to be able to go back through the quiz, look at their answers and adjust them.
Thanks in advance for your help! I have learned SO much in the last few weeks from all of you!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
That is a lot of questions, thanks for reading my blog. The most difficult part is indeed the reporting in case, you did see perhaps that I have not yet published the blog post about reporting questions with partial scores, third part of my reporting sequence. Have two possibilities that I'm exploring: either with Javascript, or with the brandnew Master Widget that Rod is pointing to. Watch out for the blog post(s), but need some more time. So no real answer to your second question for the moment, because you cannot control the quizzing system variables with advanced actions.
About your first question: you will have to so sort of 'reset' when re-entering the question slide, so that the total score stored in the user variable is decremented with the score attributed to the user in his previous answer. This means that you have to store this previous score in another user variable. Hope this make sense?
I do not get the last question totally. Are you using the default Score slide? You have to allow Backwards movement in the Quiz Preferences, but for default Question slides this will not allow the user to change his answer. I thought you were using custom question slides? Do not use the default score slide in that case, but create your own score slide, so that you can add buttons and actions to your wish. Perhaps I misunderstand your question, and it would be better to explain more, eventually in another thread if it is about the default score slide, question slides.

Flash Wrapper and Accessing user-defined variables

I am working on creating a Flash AS3 wrapper to combine several cpativate files. I am able to retrieve system variables, however I am not able to retrieve user-defined variables. I have a user defined variable in my Captivate called passedScore, in my Flash script I have the following...
var mcLesson1:MovieClip;
btnHit.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, test);
var vLoader:Loader = new Loader();
vLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
vLoader.load(new URLRequest("untitled1.swf"));
function swfLoaded(e:Event):void {
mcLesson1 = MovieClip(vLoader.contentLoaderInfo.content);
vLoader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfLoaded);
addChild(mcLesson1);
function test(event:MouseEvent):void
feedback1.text = mcLesson1.cpInfoCourseName;
feedback2.text = mcLesson1.m_VarHandle.passedScore;
feedback1 correctly shows the course name, however, for feedback2 it errors saying a term is undefined (refering to m_VarHandle)

try using mcLesson1.cpEIGetValue('m_VarHandle.passedScore');

How to Update Activity & SubActivity (User Defined Form)

Dear All Experts,
I have a difficult condition with me. I am working on a project which end on 8th Level. Now condition is all 8 levels are connected in some manner. Suppose if I change quantity on 8th level then this quantity should update to 7th level. After updating at 7th Level, the other levels get disturbed. So they also should be updated.
So it can be explained as follows:
1. I change quantity at 8th level for an item.
2. That item is in the row on 7th level. It should be updated by the quantity in step1.
3. Now sum of quantity on the 7th level should be updated to 6th level at row.
4. It should be so on upto level1.
I am just asking about like it happens in Microsoft project. Plz suggest me how can I do that ?

Custom Quiz with Master Widget not reporting in LMS (Captivate 5.5)

Hello,
I have written a custom quiz with partial scoring and, in order to report answers, I am using the Master Widget. (Huge thanks to Lilybiri and Infosemantics for all of the guidance I have found in blogs and e-learning classes!)
In summary, the quiz is composed of 2 questions with 4 possible answers each. Each of the 4 answers have a different score attached to it (i.e. answer a = 4 points; answer b = 3 points; answer c = 2 points; answer d = 1 point). On each question slide I have added a Master Widget (using the variable representing the points the student received as a slave object). I want the quiz to report the score for each question. After the student has answered both question slides, they continue to a "Results" slide. Here they view the total of their scores and get feedback on if their total is to high, too low, or in-line. On the results page I have used the Master Widget to report the total score to the quiz.
I have uploaded this quiz as a SCORM package to both Moodle 2.3 and Blackboard 9 (we are trialing different LMS systems). The quiz runs great in each LMS but when I try to access a report, I don't get any results: no report of the points received for each quiz item and no score total. In fact, in Blackboard I get a blank page:
In Moodle, I get:
Here is what my quiz preferences look like:
I am really stuck. I realize there are a lot of components to this process and I really need some help to find out where the problem lies.
Thank you for your time and help!!!

Bray,
Yes the figures shown on the Quiz Results slide are important because they indicate some of your widgets or other interactive objects are not being reported to the 'official' quiz score.
You need to go back and check the objects that you want to be included in the score. The 67% score reported by the quiz on the quiz results slide probably means that Captivate thinks you only have three objects reporting to the quiz and only two of those (two thirds or 67% in round figures) were successful.
You mentioned before that you have three Master widgets in this project. How many of them are set to report to the quiz? To test whether they're all reporting success, turn on Success and Failure captions for these widgets and then run through your interaction.
When using Slave Variables with the Master widgets for partial scoring, don't forget that although the Master widgets might count these variables as being interactive objects, Captivate does not.
Although the Master widget is VERY powerful, it also tends to mess with people's minds because there are just SO many ways you can configure it. If using partial scoring, check whether or not you have the option set to over-ride the widgets own assigned score with the total points score from the slave objects. If you use this option, you need to make sure that at no time can the over-ridden score fall outside the 0-100% range that SCORM-compliant LMSs will accept.

Hello, if you had this message you had created BP....
Now you don't have to user USERS_GEN this transaction is used only in first action, when you create the user in R/3 and then you pass this user to EBP in the organizational structure.
Now you have to:
1) Go to PPOMA_BBP
2) Double click on organizational unit that you want to put this user (purchasing organization or purchasing group box for example)
3) Select assign button in the top of the functions in the transaction
4) Click on incorporates -- position
5) Put userID that you want to add in this organizational unit
6) Click Save

9144 with custom FPGA and SGL EtherCAT User-defined Variables?

Hi,
I currently have a small instrument driver (rs485) running on a 9144 chassis. The output values are communicated to the EtherCAT Master using FXP numbers. I would like to switch these FXP to SGL since I upgraded to LV 2012 SP1 with FPGA now supporting SGL numbers.
Is this possible? I tried several times to create the SGL User-defined Variables in the project, but the date type is grayed out.
Greetings from Munich,
Götz
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, SGL is not a supported data type for communication to/from a 9144. The available data types for user-defined I/O variables are:
* Fixed Point
* Signed Integers(Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64)
* Unsigned Integers (UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64)
* U32 Bit Field
* Boolean
More information regarding user-defined I/O variables can be found at:

Find and Replace with User Defined Variable

I am in the process of converting some legacy help content to RoboHelp HTML 9 in order to give it some more features and customization for our clients. I have been taking advantage of User Defined Variables in order to customize the content. Up to this point I have been manually going through each topic and replacing each instance of a word ("statements" for example) with a user defined variable saying the same thing but with the possibility of being changed later should the customer want to. Though we only have about 200 topics, this is still relatively time-consuming and I would like to automate this as much as possible.
Is there any way to find and replace content with a User Defined Variable?

Hi there
If you open the Script Explorer pod I believe one of the sample scripts is a "UDV Converter" script. Perhaps you could give that a try.
Cheers... Rick

How to use negation in user defined rules?

Hi,
Can you please show me an example to use negation in user defined rule? I created a rule like below (the rule says if a patient has a fever problem and not have penicillin hypersensitivity, then recommend medication1):
INSERT INTO mdsys.semr_myMedicineRB VALUES('rule1',
'(?p rdf:type :Patient) (?p :present ?c1) (?c1 rdf:type :Fever) (?c2 rdf:type :Penicillin_Hypersensitivity)',
'(NOT_EXISTS(p :present c2))',
'(?p :recommendation :medication1)',
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://www.example/medicine#')));
The rule successfully inserted into the rulebase. However, I cannot pass the entailment creation phase and got the errors:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.sql.SQLException: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_SEM_INF_INTERNAL", line 16453
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_SEM_INFERENCE", line 302
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_SEM_INFERENCE", line 352
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.RDF_APIS", line 118
ORA-06512: at line 2
29532. 00000 - "Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: %s"
*Cause:    A Java exception or error was signaled and could not be
           resolved by the Java code.
*Action:   Modify Java code, if this behavior is not intended.
According to the post built-in primitives(noValue,remove) for user defined rules, it seems negation is not supported in user defined rules. Can you please advice how to implement negation in user defined rules? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Hong,
Let's look at this similar but simplified problem:
if (?p rdf:type :Patient) and (NOT_EXISTS(?p :present :c2)) ==> (?p :recommendation :medication1)
You can use something like this in the user defined inferencing:
-- First get the numeric IDs for the relevant URIs
recomID := sdo_sem_inference.oracle_orardf_add_res('http://..../recommendation');
medID := sdo_sem_inference.oracle_orardf_add_res('http://..../medication1')
rdfTypeID := sdo_sem_inference.oracle_orardf_res2vid('... full URI for rdf:type');
patientID := ...
presentID := ...
c2ID := ...
-- Now this query will find out ?p that satisfy (?p rdf:type :Patient) but not
-- (?p :present :c2)
sqlStmt := '
select ids1.sid sub
     from ' || src_tab_view || ' ids1
    where ids1.pid= ' || to_char(rdfTypeID,'TM9') || '
      and not exists (
         select 1
           from ' || src_tab_view || '
          where sid = ids1.sid
            and pid = ' || to_char(presentID, 'TM9') || '
            and oid = '|| to_char(c2ID,'TM9') || '
insertStmt := '
insert /*+ parallel append */
   into ' || output_tab || '(sid, pid, oid)
select sub, '||to_char(recomID,'TM9') || ',' || to_char(medID,'TM9') || '
   from (' || sqlStmt || ')'

Sequence Quiz Using User Defined Variables - Can See Underlying Variable Name On Move

I have just tested using 1 slide to capture several user defined variables and the next slide to insert those variables as options in a sequence quiz slide.
This works but as soon as I grab an object to begin sequencing them the underlying variable name shows up alongside the variable content.
Am wondering if I am attempting something that shouldn't be possible in Captivate and / or if there is a fix?
Thanks

Sure, I'm using Captivate 8. On a test project I've created:
a slide with 2 text entry boxes, their contents are stored in variables
another slide with a sequence question (using the native captivate question slide)
The labels on the 2 sliders on the question slide use the variables from the previous slide.
This works, so if the variables are as follows:
$$data_sequence1$$ - "blah blah blah"
$$data_sequence2$$ - "blah"
The labels on the sliders on the sequence question will be "blah blah blah" and "blah". as intended.
The issue is when I click one of the sliders to drag it to sequence the variable name will flash up on screen. So if I touch the slider with the label "blah blah blah" $$data_sequence1$$ will flash up on screen.
I have other slides on there but these are the two related to this question. I haven't fully published the project I've previewed it.

11.1.3 - Reporting - User Defined Member Lists

I exported a report from our production environment which is version 9.3.1 and imported into our development environment which is version 11.1.3 via Workspace and the user defined member list was not imported. Is there a way to have them included when reports are exported or do they have to recreated after they are imported?
Edited by: DPA1101 on Apr 8, 2010 11:55 AM

I'm running 11.1.1.3 and just ran into some problems with user-defined lists and found out that, for reports using Essbase as the source, the lists are stored as txt files in the database directory. So exporting the reports will never include the lists. You would need to copy the files from one server to the other. There are at least 3 files. Two of them are like indexes. The third contains XML with the actual list.
We're just starting to play with user lists so I haven't figured out if the naming convention I'm seeing is consistent everywhere. In my case, I have a file named ADMDir.txt. This has a single entry that points to another file. That file contains the list names and references to the files that contains the list (in xml).
I hope this helps.

With session.setAttribute("name",object) you can store a Attribute in the session object.
with session.getAttribute("name") you can get it.
That's it.
