Captivate 4 - Quiz Results Issue

Hello. I have created a quiz using Captivate 4. At the end of the quiz I have used a variable to report the score. I used...$$cpInfoPercentage$$
In some situations the percentage appears greater than 100% when the user has made more than one error. I thought it might have something to do with matching questions where the user gets one portion of the question correct but not the entire question. I have been unable to recreate this situation but several users have reported it to me.
Any ideas what might be causing these skewed scores?
I appreciate any help that can be provided.
Thanks!

That is what causing your problem. 30 seconds is much too long, unless you have an audio clip that has to play that long and is attached to the slide.
Keep the default duration of 3 seconds, please. The slide will automatically pause at 1.5secs and submit process takes two steps. Only after the second step the playhead will continue after 1.5seconds if you have left the actions On Success/After Last Attempt to Continue. Or it will do another action if you changed them.
Have a look at:

And I suspect you have a lot of slides that have a long duration. This is only increasing your filesize without any valid reason. Each second is 30 frames.

Captivate 7 Quiz Results - Will not close the quiz!

Hi everyone, I'm having a REALLY hard time configuring Captivate 7 to auto close when the quiz is done at the end of a presentation. The last slide in each of my presentations is the quiz results page, and no matte rhow I configure it, whether to exit with JavaScript, Exit, Close or continue to a new slide with an exit button, nothing will work. Can someone please help with this?

I'm glad to see others are having similar problems. We have a problem with the Exit button on the playbar. We have been using it for years in our CP6 courseware, with various LMSs (for clients), using a template, and it has worked. Now, with CP7, it's not working with one of the LMSs. The files created in CP6 still work, so it's not a change in the LMS. We bought multiple copies of CP7 for our various developers, and now we can't use them. Making an overall change, like removing the Exit button on the playbar and using another method, will mean that our courseware is not consistent from one application to another, which would not be a good solution.
Any ideas?

Captivate custom quiz result answers

Hello all,
I'm not sure how to ask this so i'll just give you the result I'm looking for:
In captivate, i need to create a 20 ques. survery (yes/no answers). I need captivate to count the number of times the user chose "YES" and based of that number, provide a result/answer.
Example:
(Total number of "YES" chosen by user)
1-5 "You are happy"
6-10 "You are extremely happy"
11-15 "You are annoyingly happy"
I know variables are involved but not sure where to start.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
It can be done with advanced actions and a user variable, but why not use the functionalities of quizzes? Do not define the question slides as survey but as graded slides and attribute a score of 1 point to each question slide, with Yes set as correct answer. This will mean that the score at the end will be your counter, understand?
To show the correct Text Caption (You are happy, ....) you'll need an advanced conditional action. I can help you with that, but have to ask you which version of Captivate you are using.
I do not know in which timezone you are, but over here it is almost midnight, I'll close my laptop just now. So please be patient until tomorrow.

How do I get Connect 8 to report my Captivate 5 quiz results as a percent?

I have the latest Captivate patch (that over wrote CPSWFGenerator.dll) that was supposed to fix this but it still doesn't work. I have created/published a new test, have it set to report score as a percent with all of the reporting boxes checked. If I set the LMS preference to send an Email, I get the score published as a percent in the email but when I change the LMS preference from Email back to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro I get the raw score like 140/140. Help!

Dedicated is how much physical memory it have software cant change that its the same deal in osx

XML file format for Captivate 5 Quiz Result Analyzer

I need to know how the XML files and folders created by Adobe's php files are structured so I can try to duplicate the proces in Coldfusion.
We're a Microsoft shop so there's no way I'd be able to set up a WAMP server.
Is there documentation anywhere or would somebody be willing to post an example?
Many thanks in advance...

One of Adobe's Tech folks on the forum mentioned writing something like this for ColdFusion a few months back. He never got back to me and told me when he did write it it wouldn't be supported.

Issues with reporting and quiz results analyzer

First issue: If a user skips a question, the question they've skipped doesn't appear in the QRA. It simply replaces the slide with the next one.
Example: User answers slide 5, skips 6, answers 7.
When viewing the results, slide 7 becomes slide 6, and all subsquent slides are off by one number.
Second issue: I am unable to update to the latest quiz results analyzer. I download directly from the Update built in QRA, or from adobe site's directly, both result in a corrupt package error. I've tried downloading and installing on numerous computers, but all of them give an error. Can anyone confirm the package isn't any good coming from Adobe?
Third: At the end of the quiz the user is asked for their email address. But unless its in the latest QRA there is no place to view their email address they've entered. How can I view the email address they've entered, or simply remove that question from the end of the exam?
Those are the main issues I've noticed so far when using Captivate. Of course the forum search is down, and has been for some time now so I can't search for these answers, so if anyone has them for me, thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for trying out Quiz Results Analyzer!!!
First issue: If a user skips a question, the question they've skipped doesn't appear in the QRA. It simply replaces the slide with the next one.
Whenever a user skips a question, the data for that question does not even get added to the final reports. This behavior is same as the behavior of several LMS. And that is the reason, why the reports for a skipped question do not appear in Quiz Results Analyzer.
Second issue: I am unable to update to the latest quiz results analyzer.
Yet, there is no update pushed from Adobe for Quiz Results Analyzer. So, you can be sure that you are using the latest version of Quiz Results Analyzer.
Third: At the end of the quiz the user is asked for their email address. But unless its in the latest QRA there is no place to view their email address they've entered. How can I view the email address they've entered, or simply remove that question from the end of the exam?
The email-id entered at the end of the quiz is just for distinguishing the results of students. Currently, there is no way to view the email-id of students using Quiz Results Analyzer.
Hope this helps!!

Generate Report Troubles with Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer

I'm new to Captivate 5 and am trying to utilize the Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer.
I've enabled report for my project to Acrobat.com and configured as instructed in the online help. The Post Result button appears on the Summary page and appears to work for the two colleagues taking the quiz. But when I click the Generate Report button in Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer, I get the message "Data is not present on local file system, downloading course data," but nothing occurs - no course data appears from the colleagues who are helping me test the quiz.
I'm able to sign in to the Quiz Results Analyzer and it does display the organization, department and course name, but no course data (see image below).
What am I doing incorrectly that keeps this from generating a course report?
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

Vish,
Your solution worked at first. I went in, took the course, and then went into Analyzer and was able to Generate Report and look at my stats. However, I had a colleague take the course. She did and posted the results and received a "successful" posting message. Then, I went back into Analyzer and clicked the Generate Report button to see how the system worked when there was new learner data. A "Checking for new data" played for a half hour before I finally gave up.
I know that you were able to reproduce this issue where in clicking the Generate Report a second time brings up the loading animation that stays forever and that you were investigating the issue, but I thought I should post here just in case anyone else has a solution.
Thanks,
Jeff

Captivate 8 Unknown Error returned after post of quiz results

I am posting quiz results to an Internal Server using the InternalServerReporting.php script. The entry gets written to the server but a result of "Unknown Error" is returned to the student. I have the captivate HTML file at the root (C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/). I have tried suppressing the Popup window for Student Name and Student ID by entering values in the cpQuizInfoStudentID and cpQuizInfoStudentName variables but I still get a return popup window with the "Unknown Error"

yes, PHP is setup and it works. As I mentioned, I'm able to use the Quiz Results Analyzer to pull quiz results just fine from the internalserverread.php file, even though the users get an "unknown error" message.
So we do run a Windows domain based on a Windows Server 2008 domain controller; strangely, when I'm logged in to a workstation and take the quiz, I don't get the "unknown error". It only seems to happen to other users, which points to a permissions problem but all of the permissions are clearly set on the PHP files to allow read/write for all domain users. I even created a dummy account replicating all of my profiles memberships/permissions and it didn't work on that one. Besides, if it really was a permissions issue, why would Captivate allow those people to post their results to the internalServerReporting.php at all? As it is, despite the "unknown error" message, they post their results just fine.

Hi hpelican,
I'm not aware of any issues on Acrobat.com that would prevent you from saving your Captivate quiz results. But, I found this thread on the Captivate forum. Please give that a try and let me know how it goes.

Captivate 5.5 - Getting an accurate quiz result when user skips a question and returns to complete it?

I have a Captivate 5.5 project with the following settings;
Questions are optional and interspersed in the content
Backward movement is allowed
Quiz results show a percentage correct and are for the learners information only
Issue:
When the user skips a question, views their results at the end of the project and then goes back to complete the skipped question, the quiz results do not add the skipped question to the previous total. Captivate appears to think that only the skipped question was completed. Any idea on how to fix this would be great. Thanks

I have been answering a similar question several times yesterday, here are two examples:
Continue button - result page.
Help with conditional action in C8
Varun's proposal is the same as I suggested, but first I'd want to know if you also allow Review? The stack order of the embedded buttons on the Score slide is:
bottom 'Continue'
above this one 'Review'
above 'Review' there is Retake
Often users hare confused by Review and Retake, and as you probably know, once the Review button has been clicked, the Retake option is over, user cannot take another attempt. This means that in most courses I will drag the Review button under the Retake button. Only when Quiz attempts are exhausted, the Review button will become available. But you cannot put the Continue button in the same location because it will never become visible. Have a workaround for that, you'll find it in the other threads. I'm missing one that I cannot find.

Go back into Quiz, Preferences, Pass or Fail. Uncheck 'Retake button' and check it again, it will reappear on the Score slide.

Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer - Error in Results

Dear Sir
I don't understand why I got the results below. All questions were reflected as 'Total Skipped' when all was answered.
Your inputs would be very much appreciated.
Thanks & regards...

So I figured out I made a stuipd mistake and mixed up acrobat.com and adobe.com. I kept trying to connect to Adobe.com, NOT acrobat.com.
Once I connect to Acrobat.com (and made an ID) it worked.
I now can connect to Acrobat.com.
However, I still am unable to see my results.
If I try to do a quiz from my local machine I am prompted with the "Post Results" button at the end. When I go to production I do not want to have this button, I would rather have the quiz automatically posted. For now, this will work for the testing phase I have working on.
When I run my quiz in IE, IE hangs when I press Post Results and put my name and password in. It never completes. I have to kill the process.
When I run the quiz from File > Preview > In Web Browser (or F12) it seems to work. I get prompted with my ID I put my info in and it says it has been posted, but I never see any results. This is similar to another post I saw here...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/766837?tstart=0
Then I saw another post that said you need to modify the flash settings on the machine where you are posting. You can do this via a URL link...
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
When I went to this link the first time I only specified the actually acrobat.com. This didn't seem to help. But them I specified the actually .swf file. This made things appear to work. I *was* able to press post, put login info in and then submit the info. This worked without having the do the preview from within Captivate. But I still do not have any data within the Adobe Captivate Quiz Results Analyzer.
If I do get some results somehow, I would still like to make the quiz such that the username and password are not prompted at the end and that the results are sent to acrobat.com automatically.

Captivate quiz results as text file

Is there a way to collect a users quiz results and simply write them to a text file on their hard drive?

Mike. This functionality doesn't currently exist in Captivate out of the box.
If you want it, you can try logging a feature request with Adobe.
Here's the official Adobe site:

Here's the unofficial one we set up ourselves:

Error when posting captivate quiz results

I would like to posting Captivate quiz results to Acrobat.com. I created an account, but when I click Post Results and log in, I get a 'Send' button option. When I select 'Send', the message 'Unknown Error' appears and the results do not get posted.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I am also still having the same problem, so it looks like this still hasn't been fixed.
Posting results worked fine but lately everyone is getting the unknown error which is embarrassing when you are pushing directors to complete this only to be told it isn't working and wasted their time.
Sort it out Adobe!

Adobe Captivate 6 problem with Review area text on Quiz results page

Hi,
I am using Adobe Captivate 6 and I have a test at the end of my project with the built in 'Quiz results page' at the end.
However, the standard 'review area' provided always seems to play up for me. I have changed the 'quiz results messages' through the preferences and changed the font of the review area, but everytime I play my project the message displayed is in a different font that I did not set and the size is so large that the sentence goes off the screen. It has done this on numerous projects.
I have changed the font of the review area and it shows up on my normal view, but everytime I preview the project or publish it, the font changes back to a strange default.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Thank you.

Hannah,
That is a very well-known bug in the last Captivate versions... if you screen these forums you'll find multiple threads complaining about it. Some fonts will work, I think Calibri works (not all styles however) and all the other fonts revert to Times New Roman. I'm a bit puzzled that you call it a 'strange default'.
