Editing Submit All "Return to Quiz" button caption

Can anyone point me in the right direction? I need to change the Submit All window's "Return to Quiz" button to "Return to Exam" but don't see where I can do it. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I have solution for you.
Close Adobe Captivate if you have it opened.
Go to: Adobe Captivate/en-US/
Back up files strings.txt and strings.zdct.
Open strings.txt.
Find text you want to change. Save the file. Make copy of it and rename it to strings.zdct which is placed in same folder.
This solution works just for projects made from blank after doing this tutorial. It doesn´t work for your old projects sadly, even when you resave them.
Here is test result with special characters working.

Remediation - 'Return to Quiz' button?

Hi folks,
I've just watched an excellent Lynda.com course on Captivate 8 (Essential Training). However, one issue has confused me and this is on remediation. I've used remediation in the past, and sometimes the slide movement become a bit 'sticky' and I don't really like to use the 'Next' navigation button for the 'Return to Quiz' action.
The course says that if you have a quiz question that returns to an earlier slide (i.e. via remediation) you can create a new button that states 'Return to Quiz' (i.e. in addition to any existing navigation buttons), make the action for this new button 'Return to Quiz' and this button will not appear in the normal flow of the course, but will appear if the slide is visited via the remediation route in the end quiz.
To quote Lynda.com 'This is a special action that's going to keep the button hidden unless they navigate to the slide straight from the quiz'. However, when I have tried this, the new button appears in the normal flow of viewing the course?
I have watched this part of the course a number of times and it appears they are definitely saying that the new 'Return to Quiz' button should only appear when visited via the quiz.
Are they wrong? Captivate 8 bug?
Cheers,
John

I didn't watch the CP8 course on Lynda, but I found the previous course of very low quality, totally different from what they normally offer for the 'big' Adobe applications. Just FYI I'm an almost daily user of Lynda. Again you prove here that there are quite a lot of 'bugs' in that course, half-explained or even wrongly explained work flows and bad practice tell me that the creator is certainly not an expert Captivate user. Sorry for that ranting but I have spent so many hours in trying to clarify work flows to Captivate users that took that course and got stuck very quickly when they tried to use the acquired knowledge.
Remediation is not hiding the button. You need a Next button and have to trigger the action 'Return to Quiz' with that button. When the content slide is visited from another content slide, the Next button will automatically execute the action 'Go to Next Slide', but when the slide is visited from a Question slide, the Next button will get the user back to the Question slide. Only when the question will be answered correctly, will he be able to continue with the Quiz.
Again, this is NOT a Captivate bug, this is a bug in your 'excellent' course.

PLEASE help. Return to Quiz is creating problems

Thank you for reading this question.
I am using Captivate 6 with all updates.
I have a pretty lengthy tutorial. I wanted to implement remediation, which means the learner, when at the quiz, will be sent back to the slide with the correct answer, then returned to the quiz question he or she missed.
This should not be a problem. However...
As the learner progresses through the lesson (not the quiz section) the first time and gets to the slide right after "jump to quiz", the slide seems to stop at the beginning, displaying initial content, but stopping. It does not play the audio, and does not present additional information within the slide. If you press the play button at the bottom of the course, it procedes as normal. This is happening for every slide when remediation is requestion.
Details: For each quiz question, I have set "Last Attempt" to jump to slide. The slide provides the correct information located during the course. That is all I have changed for Quiz Properties. Let's say we are jumping back to slide 26.
At Slide 26, I click on my button to continue. For action, I change the option for "on success" to "return to quiz".
Here's the kicker. So when published or viewed, we get to slide 26 without problem. As it procedes to slide 27, this is where it displays initial information at time 0, but does not continue, nor plays audio.
As a test, I have deleted all frames in slide 27 with the exception of audio, or other. No good.
This is happening for ALL "return to quiz" actions.
This should not be rocket science. But I am totally stuck in the water. Would anyone know what I'm doing incorrectly?
Published as executable, viewed in latest FF and IE, as well as viewed within Captivate.
Thank you!

Well I found the answer. I was duplicating slides, and apparently this didn't work well with return to quiz element. Still not sure why, but when I created new slides, the remediation worked perfectly. Go figure. Hope this helps anyone else out who encounters a similar problem.

Return to quiz not working

I'm having trouble with the return to quiz function in Captivate 7. I have tried a number of solutions to work around this but none seem to be working. I have a project with a series of course slides followed by a quiz. I have set some of the quiz slides to 'jump to' relevant course slides on failure and set the next button on those course slides to return to the quiz. I seem to be running into two issues:
when playing through the course slides for the first or subsequent times the return to quiz button seems to become stuck (on most occasions, not consistently). It does not progress to the next slide and the playhead indicates that the project has stopped playing. Hitting play on the playhead progresses the slide but it is a frustrating experience.
when taking the quiz, the remedial learning seems to work well the first time the quiz is taken but not once ‘retake quiz’ is selected. On retaking the quiz, the correct slide is jumped to on failure but instead of the return to quiz button sending the user back to the quiz, the button seems to function like a ‘go to next slide' button. The user then cannot seem to be able to return to the quiz.
Any help would be appreciated.

Check if you have perhaps changed your Quiz settings to disable Backward movement. That might account for your issue where Remediation is not working now.
Return to Quiz is designed to work with normal interactive objects such as Text Buttons, Image Buttons, or Shape Buttons, but NOT playbar buttons because Captivate does not allow you to script the functionality of the playbar buttons.
You will need to add a text button or similar to the remediation slide and set it's On Success action to Return to Quiz. If the remediation slide is NOT reached from a quiz question then that button will simply default to a Go to Next Slide action. However, IF the slide is visited as a result of a jump from an unsuccessful quiz question THEN the button's Return to Quiz action will kick in.
Be aware that using Return to Quiz gives your learners potentially unlimited extra tries on the quiz questions. And in doing so it can mean they get caught in an endless loop as long as they do NOT successfully complete the quiz question slide.

Submit All button for all text entry boxes at end of exam in Captivate 7

Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum, and I was hoping that someone could help me out with a problem that has been eating my lunch for the last week.
I have a captivate 7 project that I am setting up as a virtual workbook, with text entry boxes asking true/false, yes/no, and short essay questions through out the most part of the workbook, and then at the end it has a series of multiple choice questions that are set up on question slides. Is there a way to have all of the text entered in the text entry boxes submited along with the quiz questions at the end, to my LMS? And if at all possible, still inform the user if there are any questions that have not been answered? Like I said, I am new to this forum, so if I forgot to include any important information, I apologise, but if anyone could help me ouot, I would be extreemly thankful!
thanks,
Luke

thenks for the reply Lilybiri! As far as I have been able to find, there is no way to associate a submit all button with TEBs, so I am not sure if this is something that I am overlooking, or if I am misunderstanding the recomemendation.
What I am trying to do is set up a bunch of TEBs to be answer entry boxes for questions throughout the workbook, which will lead up to an exam. The exam, I am good on, because it has the submit all button attached. But the TEBs that I am using as the answer entry boxes, I can't seem to find a way to link them all to the same submit button.
I hope I am being pretty clear about it, but I've been pounding away at this for a while, so I fear it might come out a but rambly. So, please let me know if I need to clarify anything.
Thanks!

Submit vs Submit All in Quiz

Hi,
When i use submit button i am able to access cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice variable in the next slide. But if i use Subimit All and click on next, variable cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice is empty in the next slide. How can i access selected answer if i use submit all?
Thanks,
Krishna

Neither the system variables cpQuizInfoAnswerChoice nor cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointsscored are populated in that situation, already did see that. Reason is probably that total score is calculated whenever the user decides to click the Submit All button, because only then the answers are taken into account. Tried it out: the total score (cpQuizInfoPointsscored) is calculated each time you click Submit All, but when you didn't answer all questions it can be changed, which is not the case with the normal quiz flow. Go back to a question and change it, when clicking Submit All again, the score will be recalculated. I agree that it is a pity that the first two variables that I mentioned are not populated anymore, or at least you cannot access them. With the new Quiz features there are some other system variables that should be available or at least be accessible IMO. If you could enter a feature request, any support for my own requests is welcome.

Submit All button

Are there any good tutorials about how best to use the new Submit All button in Captivate 6?

Hi Jay,
Thanks for your interest to know about Submit All. Submit All solves following scenarios.
a) User can go back and forth on quiz slides and change the selections and submit all at once.
b) When user submits the quiz results to LMS all the answers are submitted at one go rather than submitting at each slide.
Thanks,
Sankaram.

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Have you tried

Drag and Drop only to be submitted with activation of a submit all button

I have included a few Drag and drop questions into a summative assessment task. I would like the user to be able to browse through their answers and change them until the point that they activate the "Submit All Button". I am using Captivate 7. Can this be done?

Not at all, sorry, and I doubt someone else will offer you a solution, since you'll want it to happen for all question slides + Drag&Drop. Maybe you don't know that they call me the 'workaround' queen

Quiz Timer Not Jumping to Score Slide for Submit All Quiz

I've followed the instructions for the TimeCheck advanced action posted by Lilybiri (http://lilybiri.posterous.com/timer-widget-to-stress-your-learners), but it doesn't work for me. Am wondering if it is because I am doing something wrong or because I have the Submit All option selected in the Quiz Preferences. Any ideas?
My goal is to have a countdown timer for a quiz that automatically jumps to the score slide when the time expires.

Hi,
It will not be functional anymore, because I checked and the variable associated with the Timer widget is not updated anymore. Moreover, one is limited in characters used for the variable., underscores are not possible anymore, variable always starts with a capital etc. I do not know what has changed in this widget, have been asking for an explanation but got no answer yet. For the moment the Timer widget is pretty useless if you want to do an action based on the value of the variable. I'm very sorry and should even check all posts about widgets (there are quite a lot there) to see if other similar problems occur.
My blog proves with the example and the screenshots that this work flow has been possible in the past. No tricks there.

Customised "Submit All" Button

Is it possible to build a customised "Submit All" button so that we can add advanced actions to the button?

I fear that having the Submit all button on a slide by itself will screw up everything. Moreover, user can decide to end the questions on any slide, which means you should also need a navigation to that unique slide from each question slide?
Why not think about a rollover warning on each slide?

Using cpInfoElapsedTimeMS variable with Submit All quiz

I've created a branching scenario with the cpInfoElapsedTimeMS variable to have my quiz time out after a set time and it works great if I don't have the Quiz Preferences set to Submit All. Because I must allow my learners to go back and review their answers before submitting to the LMS, I need to use the Submit All setting, which stops the variable from working properly. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I put a query in a WAD or when I Execute a Query from the Query designer. When I run the query the variable on the filter kicks in and it requests I select something e.g. cost centre. When I do the drop down in the variable to select a cost centre I dont get a list of cost centres. Only ?? where a cost centre should be. However when I select a ?? it does know what the cost cejtre is as it populates the variable with a cost centre. All the cost centre data is loaded etc.

Audio feedback on quiz buttons

Is there any way to add audio feedback to an automatically generated quiz button when it has been clicked e,g the submit button, undo button etc?
I have put audio feedback on smart shape buttons via advanced actions but an advanced action cannot be assigned to the above buttons.
Failing that is there a way to make a smart shape button into a submit button?
Many thanks

The embedded objects in quiz slides, those who have no separate timelines, are different from normal interactive objects. There is no real difference between normal buttons and shape buttons as you seem to tell at all, just between embedded buttons that have specific functionality and the normal buttons. There is no way to replace a quiz button by a shape button at this moment, but that wouldn't change the way they act.
If you want audio, you can attach it to the feedback captions (Success, Failure) or put them in actions that are triggered by the Submit button: the Success and Last Attempt actions. More details:

Email submit does not work; print button does not work online

I installed livecycle 8 from cs3 onto a windows 7, 64 bit laptop
I created a sample form to see how it works (sample form http://neelyranch.com/dogbabysittingform.pdf )
Inside the program the form fills nicely, the print button works to my local printer, but the email submit does nothing
I saved and uploaded the file as pdf online and tried it from my browser (chrome)
Neiher print nor email submit buttons work
I saved it as reader extended via adobe 8 with no change
So, ??? am I doing wrong here
Just a quick edit here
I ran the form in Safari, mozila and ie8
in all three the print button did work online, but in all three the email submit did not.
nothing worked in chrome

Thanks for both of the responses. If you did select send then I did not receive anything. I did check chrome plugins and found a message requiring an adobe update for pdf 9.
I updated the pdf reader which gave me an update to pdf 11
I revisited the sample form in live cycle and the online print routine now works in chrome and ie8 but the send email does not send
When I select the send button after completing all of the other fields, I get a message 'preparing to send ...' then a window pops up with nothng in it but a greyed out top heading row, then it disappears and that is it.
Has to be something between the button and the email pgm that is not connecting (my default is gmail)
Same result in both chrome and ie8 - zip.
Suggestions?

Cp7 Trouble with Return to Quiz:

Hi Folks,
I have a quiz at the end of a presentation and I want the user to jump to a remedy slide upon failure of the question. This works fine but whenever I set either the 'Next' button or slide's 'On Exit' action to 'Return to Quiz' when I run the slides the button NEVER advances as normal, the user cannot progress at all. If Iset it to the On Exit action the user can move to the next slide but will not be returned to the quiz after arriving at the slide from the quiz. I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works so I assume I'm missing something or failed to set a property correctly. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Nelson

Thanks for your input but itis already set at potional. I've tried adjusting the 'Settings' but nothing changes.
It just will not advance the slides when navigating normally, the button just clicks and nothing happens. It also does it if I set the button to 'Go to next slide' and apply the 'Return to quiz' to the 'On exit' action instead.
It is really frustrating as I have no idea why this is happening, I'm going to build a mock set of slides and see if I can get it to work on another slide set then at least I'll know if it is a setting within the project or within Captivate itself.
Thanks again.
