Reviewing content in LMS, Captivate jumps to last slide

I have a course with several files in the tree. Captivate plays its content just fines and it triggers the next file after the student views all slides. However, if the student wants to go back and review the material, Captivate will flash the first slide, then jump to the last slide.
I have Escape Version and Session ID unchecked.
Pass/fail checked
SCORM 2004 checked
Report to LMS as Score
Slide views only - Slide view Completion 100 (is that the # of slides or the percentage of slides?)
Reporting Level = Interatction and Scores
I also have the Template set to SendTrackingDataAtEnd
Is there any way to have CP just stay on the first slide?
Thank you.
Regards,
Kevin

Thank you Lilybiri. I checked the 'Nevers Send Resume Data' and that seemed to work.
I think the only drawback would be if the content is lengthy and the student stops and later goes back in to view the conten, they would probably have to start at the beginning again. The only way I could see getting around that would be to use the TOC and then a student could choose the stop they left off.

Kevin

  • Grey Screen in iPad Content Viewer when swipe through the last slides of the articles

    Some of co-workers and clients reported and issue with the presentations and the viewer: some times grey screens appear when swiping in an presentation from article to article (reproducible only for the last slide of the article).
    Pre-conditions:
    1. Folio with several articles (3-4 is good).
    2. Articles should have different number of slides.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open folio on iPad and go to the last slide of each article.
    2. Swipe from article to article (better from the first one article to the last one)..
    Expected outcome:  Last slide of the next article is displayed.
    Actual outcome: Grey screen is displayed instead of the last article. Some times it's needed to swipe fast to reproduce the issue. Or at least on the last slide you'll see grey screen instead of the content.
    Content will be displayed if you scroll up the page. Seems that new (additional) page is added after the last slide of an article and disappeared after scrolling the page.
    Notes: Reproducible with the latest version of adobe viewer (i'm using v31(3.4.3.0.96281). NOT reproducible in iPad Content Viewer with version 3.2.1.3.85505.
    Maybe somebody knows the root cause of this issue and how to fix it?

    I can confirm that I've seen this happen but beyond that, I can't help.

  • Captivate Resume Course - not at last slide

    Hi
    When a user exits our course in captivate and then resumes at a later time it asks if they want to continue where the left off however it always begins again at the start of the chapter in which they were in.  For example, if they were on slide 5 of chapter 4 it would start them again at slide 1 of chapter 4.
    Is this a setting that I need to change?
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums,
    Captivate should do this by default, unless you check the 'Never Send Resume Data' option chceked in the Quiz preferences section.
    However, if it does not, that is likely because your LMS is expecting the lesson to set the cmi.exit value to 'suspend'. Such a setting tells the LMS to send the last-session's data back to the CP lesson the next time it's launched so it can resume.
    You can also Go to Project > Skin Editor and tick the box there for Self-Paced Learning.
    That will enable local bookmarking that should work if the user is just playing the course modules from a local drive.  However, be aware that this setting may conflict with the Resume Data bookmarking that is sometimes activated (by leaving the Never Send Resume Data checkbox unticked) so as to use bookmarking with SCORM-compliant courses served from an LMS.

    When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field and then do a execute query it brings all the records of 'IAS'.
    Now as I want to update the records, and when I navigate across field(s_type,cer_dl,Seq,xyz) using tab and move the cursor down on second
    record(IAS N 2 N), what happens is when I navigate to sequence field the cursor jumps to LAST RECORD( IAS Y 3 N ) of LAST field XYZ.

    When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field...For your validation to work you must not allow users to enter records in the middle of a block, clear records from the block or query specific records. If you allow the users to enter a query then you are allowing 2 of the rules to be broken.

  • When moving from a list of threads view to a thread would be nice to jump to last thread read.

    When moving from a list of threads being viewed to a thread, it would be nice to jump to last thread read or first unread thread.
    Sometimes the threads get rather long.  Sometimes I haven't read a thread in awhile & I forget where I have left off reading a thread. It would be nice to have an icon to click on to move to your last read post or the first non-read post. 
    Seems this could be implemented in javascript without too much problem.  Might be a problem of when to get rid of the tracking data.
    Robert

    This would be a new capability.   I didn't know you could jump directly to the last post in a thread by clicking on the posters name in your discussions.  However, I am interested in jumping to the first post that I haven't read.
    Since writing my original post, I realize that software doesn't know what posts I have read. Lets say there are are 26 posts in a thread.  Lets assume these are divided into three pages with at most 10 items in a page:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z
    The software know that I have viewed the first three pages.  It doesn't know what post on the pages I have read.  The software would need to assume I have read all the available posts on a page.
    Now lets assume that 12 more post were added.  This results in:
    page 1 -- a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j
    page 2 -- k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t
    page 3 -- u, v, w, x, y, z, aa,bb,cc,dd
    page 4 -- ee,ff,gg,hh,ii,jj,kk,ll
    It would be nice if I could go to aa. 
    Jumping to the last post in the thread doesn't hack it. You have to spend a lot of time finding where you left off your reading.
    Intesting, the list of your posts on your homepage usings the term Last Activity were as Your Discussions uses the term Last Post. The terminalogy should be the same & should act the same.  For the existing capability of going the the last post, I was thinking of Goto Last Post.

  • Content limits in Captivate

    I am a Captivate 6 for Windows user and have noticed seemingly random issues coming up with our modules. Issues may include: missing audio on some slides, red boxes, black screens, "not responding" messages, and ghosting images. My question is, do any (or all) of these issues have to do with going beyond the content limits of Captivate?
    Early on in using Captivate (version 3?) I noticed we started having issues when we went beyond, say 200 slides. Now that we are using more audio clips, screen recordings, and images, (on usually 50-100 slides) I am wondering if the amount of content is overwhelming Captivate. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Darin

    Hi Darin
    Back in Captivate 1 through 4 there was an unstated rule of thumb guideline where we saw that if you went beyond 50-65 slides you were in danger territory. When Adobe re-wrote the application and released version 5, I asked what (if any) slide limitations were. I was advised that we should now be able to have as many as 400-600 slides without issue.
    However, my thoughts are that with anything like this, you are likely to encounter issues with massive amounts of content. And from what you are reporting, it would seem that you are seeing some of these issues emerge. To me, the red squares are an indication that there is a memory issue at play.
    Perhaps try making a copy of the project and removing half the slides. See if things improve. And if they do, maybe consider that the project needs to be split into two modules.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Get collaboration content (Discussion Board, Blog Posts, Wikki) last view time in SharePoint 2013

    Hi,
    How to get get collaboration content (Discussion Board, Blog Posts, Wikki) last view time in SharePoint 2013. I have tried using SPAudit setting but its not returning
    list item view time. I have enabled the SiteCollection Audit setting for "Opening or downloading documents,
    viewing items in lists, or viewing item properties". I have tried using below code.
    SPSite site = new SPSite(siteURL);
    SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
    SPList list = web.Lists[listName];
    SPListItem item = list.GetItemById(itemId);
    SPAudit audit = site.Audit;
    SPAuditQuery query = new SPAuditQuery(site);
    query.RestrictToListItem(item);
    query.AddEventRestriction(SPAuditEventType.View);
    SPAuditEntryCollection coll = audit.GetEntries(query);
    Is there any other way to get last view time in SharePoint
    2013?? or any changes in above code?
    Thanks.

    Hi Patil,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get the last view time of any entities in SharePoint 2013
    How did you do with using Site Collection Audit?
    Below are my testing:
    Click Settings->Site Settings
    Click Site collection audit settings under Site Collection Administration
    On the Audit Log Trimming section, select ‘Yes’ under ‘Automatically trim the audit log for this site?’
    On the Documents and Items section,  select ‘Opening or downloading documents, viewing items in lists, or viewing item properties’
    Click OK
    Click  Audit log reports, click Content viewing under Content Activity Reports
    Then select a location to save a report, click OK
    ‘Operation Completed Successfully’ displayed, and there is a link ‘click here to view the report’, click it.
    Open the report, there were two worksheets in the file. The first one was ‘Audit Data-Table’, it contained the viewing total times. The second one was ‘Report Data 1’, it provided the time when the item was viewed.
    Below is a screenshot about my report.
    Through checking the second worksheet, we can see which items were viewed and the viewed time. Please have a try.
    I hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • LMS not reporting complete for slide views

    Hi,
    I am trying to get my captivate projects to report competion status as complete to the LMS based on slide views. For testing I have created a very simple two slide Captivate. Both slides have 3 second durations, one caption each and nothing else, so the whole project runs for 6 seconds without any pauses, quizes or interactions of any kind. I have used SCORM cloud to view the SCORM calls being made by the package, and it is not reporting completion to the LMS.
    I am using the following settings in reporting:
    Any help will be really appreciated. Im about to watch http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=set_registered&id=1775550&loc=en_us to see if that can help. My backup plan is to put an interaction on the last slide but that's going to mess with my quiz results for the projects that do include quizzes (This is also why im reporting Quiz Results and Slide Views).
    Note: with these settings, passing a quiz causes the captivate to report completion.
    Thanks for any help
    Andrew Downes

    I'm not sure of this and defer to any contrary/additional replies that may follow...but...
    Past versions of CP have required some sort of scored interaction in order for the lesson to properly report via SCORM to the LMS.
    If you have a CP lesson without any scored interactions (no 'reporting'), that may be why completion is being recorded to the LMS.
    SO try setting up one scored interaction as you suggest.
    For CP lessons that do have quizzes, you won't need that separate scored interaction.
    You'll also likely want to change you settings to just 'Slide Views Only' if you just want completion reported based on them viewing the whole project, and I suspect Slide View Completion should be 100, not 10...
    Let us know how that goes...

  • Clicking a button returns a user to the last slide he/she visitied

    Is there a way in Captivate to create a button that will
    return a user to the last slide he/she visited instead of going
    back to a previous slide?

    I guess not, if you are saying that the "Previous Slide"
    won't work. Just so I don't get too lost, are you saying that the
    previous slide is
    not what the user viewed last? As in, they got to this slide
    through a "jump" from another.
    I wonder if Java-script's "history" command could help. I
    don't think so, because it doesn't involve a HTML document history,
    and to my knowledge, there is no Flash action-script equivalent for
    that Java-script call ... (???)
    Captiv8tor usually follows along behind me looking to add his
    version of help to my posts, so maybe he can give us more
    information on the use of Java-script or Action-script to
    accomplish what you need. Good luck! Larry

  • Advanced action: jump to next slide if all text entry boxes are filled out. If not, pause project and show error message

    Hi there
    Working with captivate 4 and advanced actions, which is a great new feature, I encounter the following problem:
    I have a sign-in slide, where the user has to insert his name and several other data. For user-friendly handling, I have the text entry boxes appearing one after another, so when the user confirms his entry, the next text entry box appears and has the focus.
    The button for jumping to the next slide works with an advanced action:
    Only if the user has filled out all the text entry boxes, the action "jump to the next slide" is performed.
    If not, an error message is shown.
    It works well so far.
    Now, I want the project to pause there, and not to jump back to the beginning of the slide (as suggested in another Thread in this forum), because then the text entry boxes dissappear again.
    I tried to set the movie control variable rdcmndPause to 1 in order to make the movie pause, but nothing happens.
    I tried it with an external playback control bar and without, it didn't work in either case.
    I found the hint:
    To control the project through the skin file, add the prefix cpSkinLoader_mc to the variables. This might be the solution.(?)
    But how can I change the name of a MovieControl Variable?
    If anyone knows, how this is supposed to work or has another suggestion to solve the problem, please let me now.
    Thanks a lot.
    Petra

    Hi Petra,
    I believe I can help you, but from a completely different angle than anything you've tried yet.  I try to find simple solutions to complex problems.  No advanced actions will be needed, just a little creative timing.  First, I need to be sure I correctly understand what it is you're hoping to accomplish.
    If I understand you correctly, you've got a single welcome slide.  On this slide you've got several TEB's (text entry boxes), set up with variables to make your project more personal or gather some required information.  These TEB's have no right or wrong answers, they simply require an entry: such as an address which begins with a numeric key.  The TEB's are set to appear one after another, as one is completed the next one appears.  Once all have been completed a next button, set to "jump to next slide" takes them  to the next slide and on through your course.  You want the project to pause until the user clicks this button, and only proceed if all TEB's have been entered.  If not, you wish an error message to appear.
    If the above description is correct, I'd do the following:
    Leave your TEB's to show up one at a time as the previous is submitted, as you've described. (each one pauses the slide till info is submitted, then "continues" the slide and the next TEB displays)
    Set each TEB to "display for rest of slide".
    For the next button:  In the properties dialog box, options tab, name the button "Next_button" and uncheck the visibility box.
    Open the properties for the final TEB that students will fill in and set the on success property to "show" then choose the Next_button by clicking the drop down arrow beside the "show" field.  This will hide the Next button until all TEB's have been filled in.
    There is no error message, because there is no possibility of error.  Why tell a student they've messed up, just eliminate that possibility!    All TEB's only display after the previous is entered, and the Next button is hidden until the last TEB is entered.
    I've tested this in a simple 3 slide project and it all worked fine, including some variables.  If you need more detailed info, or would like to see the sample proj. I created let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Button Widget - Need it to jump to next slide, not simply continue

    I'm new to Cp 5.5. I was an expert in Cp4 and prior versions, but due to work changes I've not worked with Captivate in a few years and am just getting back into it. Definitely things have changed!
    I setup a master slide and at the top-right I placed one of the static SWF button widgets that comes with Captivate. In the options for it I set it to go to the next slide when clicked, however upon preview it is continuing on the same slide and not jumping to the next one. I tried it with a few of the swf buttons and they all work the same. Am I doing something wrong? Or is the code broken on these buttons?
    If the latter, then I guess my option, if I really want to keep the look of the button (I do), then is to just use it as an image button?

    Hello and welcome back,
    The static button coming with Captivate 5.5 has no pausing point but it should work OK, does for me anywat. How did you test? Can you insert a text caption with the system variable rdinfoCurrentFrame to see if there is indeed no jump to next slide?
    If you want the static button with a pausing point, at half its duration, you can download it from my blog:
    What I (dis)like in Captivate 5.5
    I do not understand your last question? You want only the image, not the functionalities of that button? You should be aware that only static objects can be inserted on a master slide, not interactive objects.

  • Quiz Skip Button Jump to Another Slide that is not Next slide.

    Is it possible to make the Quiz Skip button jump to another slide besides the next slide? I'm using Captivate 7.
    Basically, I want the quiz slide to exit to another slide that is not the next slide.

    Branch aware is a totally different thing: it makes the quizzing variables dynamically adapting to the questions that are taken by the trainee.
    You are talking about the Skip button, which is puzzling because that button label was changed to Next since version 6. And Branch aware only appeared in 6. Which version are you using? You are talking about shapes so it must be 6 or later.
    Another question: do you allow Review? Because in that case you'll need that Next (Skip) button. http://blog.lilybiri.com/question-question-slides-in-captivate
    You are talking about a 'custom Skip button'? Can you explain, and also what you mean by the rollover shape? If you have a custom button it should be visible on the timeline of the slide, contrary to the default objects on question slides that are embedded and have no separate timeline. Or was the question master slide edited to add a rollover shape to the default Next button?

  • Stop on last slide with active buttons

    Hi everyone,
    Am still a beginner with Captivate...please help:
    I've got 4 buttons set up on the last slide of Movie1, functioning as a simple menu, sort of.
    First button goes to Movie 2, second button jumps to Movie 5, third button jumps to Movie 8, with a last WATCH ALL button starting from Movie 2 as well. All these movies are linked to each other (ie. movie 3 starts when movie 2 finishes).
    How do I get the Movie1 to stop on the last slide, with all 4 buttons remaining active?
    In my published exe, the buttons work if and only if I click on them before the project comes to a stop.
    Thanks loads in advance!

    Hello again
    While you can't really accomplish it with the Buttons as they stand, you can do something I did. Be creative! I inserted some "disabled" images of the buttons. Staged the images to be present when the Buttons could not be clicked. Then configured the Buttons to appear at the times when I wanted them to.
    Here's a hint. If the Buttons are always in the same place, you may insert the "disabled" image on the first slide and configure it to display for the rest of the project.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Jump to a slide in another project

    I have seen some discussion on jumping to a slide in another project.  Specifically, the following post talks about how to accomplish this in Captivate 4, using Javascript.

    I am using Captivate 6 and the code supplied for CP4 does not work for me.  Does anyone have any updates on how you can do this CP6?

    (Hello again )
    There's a post on this by the wonderful Jim Leichliter: http://captivatedev.com/2011/05/01/how-to-jump-to-a-specific-slide-in-a-separate-course/
    But you might want to take a look at an exchange in the comments:
    I'd prefer the project to be a swf, is it possible to open the file on a specific slide if it's published as an exe?
    Unfortunately not. The JavaScript API only applies to web based content. If you need to run the project locally, I'd recommend using Adobe AIR. Inside of AIR, you can run JavaScript.

  • Captivate 7 -- Insert Blank Slide bug?

    Hi,
    I'm creating a tutorial in Captivate 7 (Win 8.1) using screen shots (taken from another computer using Windows 8.1 Update). I would like the last slide to be a blank screen that I will then mock up. I use "Insert > Blank Slide" to do so. The slide, in the filmstrip, appears to be blank. However, when I click on the slide, it shows a screen shot from a previous slide. I can't get rid of it. The image file doesn't appear in the Timeline nor, as already stated, in the Filmstrip.
    What can I do? I want to add a SmartShape to cover the screen but I want the alpha toned down to 80%. When I do that, I can see the background image that shouldn't be there in the first place. Help!

    Check if the timing of the image on the previous slide is set to Rest of the Project.
