How can I make what a user types in text entry box go to the lms?

Hi,
I have a couple text entry boxes for non-scored short answer responseses---more of a reflective exercise than anything else.
However, I'd like the text the learner types to be recorded by the LMS.
How do I make that happen if it is not an actual assessment?
thanks

Each TEB gets automatically an associated variable with a generic name that is the same as the TEB (I always recommend choosing a more appropriate name). Lookin the General Accordion, you'll see the Variable field.
Do you want more explanation about variables?

Those are old posts, but whereas some system variables have changed names, the principles of the posts are still valid.

    How can I make a global change so all controls and indicators labels on the front panel change to another colour?
    I need to change the front panel so that it can be used in a dark environment.

    Hi
    The only way I see, is to use the "Controls[]" property and iterate through all of them. But don't forget about nested elements (i.e. clusters, tab-controls, ...).

  • How do I show a hand cursor for a text entry box button

    I'm using Captivate 5 and have run into an annoying problem...
    For a general click box, there is an option for "Show hand cursor over hit area" which will result in the cursor changing to a hand when rolling over the click box region in the published presentation.  I want to do the same for the 'submit' button in the text entry box. Is this even possible?  I'm hoping to keep things consistent as a user is clicking through the presentation.
    I find it odd that it doesn't have the same property as found on the clickbox considering it has the same purpose.  I'm using a background screenshot image to simulate an entry in an application, so I'm actualy hiding the submit button, but the button I want them to press lacks the hand cursor that would indicate it is clickable.  I don't want to use a click box to allow the user to move on because I still want a failure in the text entry box to prevent the user from moving on.
    Hope that all makes sense.

    Hi there
    Another approach is to use a Rollover Caption. Just remove any text and configure the caption as transparent. Then layer the Rollover area over the part where you want the hand to change to a cursor. The net effect will be that the cursor change will occur. Clicking will then result in triggering the underlying Submit button, which appers to be invisible and layered over an image.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How can I make a weekly 'to do' list?  I don't want the list associated with a particular date and time; just a list of things to get done!

    How can I make a weekly 'to do' list? I don't want it associated with a particular day or or time, just the week, preferably with the ability to check off or remove when done.

    Thank you for the excellent reference Peddi. I had played with the OAMessageChoiceBean component yesterday, but I was able to tell from your instructions that "Picklist Display Attribute" and "Picklist Value Attribute" really are not for binding to the database EO. That was the key piece of information that had me confused.
    In addition to adding the messageChoice component to the page, I needed to write some code to synchronize the picklist value with the corresponding code value, which I placed in am OAFormValueBean (hidden form field) which I could then bind to my application's database EO in the controller, running in the processFormRequest procedure:
    /** Synchronize the catalog code with the selected catalog name */
    protected void syncCatalogValues(OAPageContext pageContext,
    OAWebBean webBean, MyApplicationAMImpl am) {   
    OAMessageChoiceBean mcb =
    (OAMessageChoiceBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogName");
    OAFormValueBean cc =
    (OAFormValueBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogCode");
    String catalogDescription = mcb.getText(pageContext);
    if (catalogDescription != null) {
    String catalogCode = am.getCatalogCode(catalogDescription);
    cc.setValue(pageContext, catalogCode);
    Along with a little code to get the catalogCode value from the LOVVO, that's all it took.
    Thanks again. This was a great help.

  • How to make mutiple shortcut keys in one text entry box

    I'm trying to make F8 and Enter work in one text entry box and only one because I need to make the scoring work the way I want it to. I have made both F8 and Enter work, however they are both in seperate text entry boxes when I want both to work in the same text entry box... Please Help, this will solve alot of problems I've been having.

    Ok so I tried using advanced actions and failed... here's my attempt on putting 2 shortcuts in one text entry box with different entries like the problem described earlier on this thread:
    Note: I have 2 TEB in one slide I tried using in this action.. 1 has variable name PF8, the other has PF82, where I'm trying to have PF82 contain both actions of both TEBs.
    1. Went into advanced actions.
    2. Action name: Linking2inone
    3. Made it a conditional action.
    4. In "IF" attempted to use both any and all conditions are true
    5. Also in "IF" PF82 contains PF8
    6. Actions Jump to Slide 11
    7. updated action successfully.
    Then I closed advanced actions. I tried making the PF8 TEB have "no action" when correct and tested it... didn't work... then I made PF8 TEB have Jump to slide 11 when correct, cut and pasted it to another slide because I thought that PF8 TEB as a seperate TEB in the same slide was messing with the Advanced Action I'm trying to perform. Therefore, since PF8 was just in another slide, PF8 wouldn't be deleted still having the same action value in advanced actions having PF82 contain the action of PF8; but this failed as well...

  • Force user to use text entry box?

    Hello,
      Is there a way to require the user to enter something into the text entry box in order to proceed without just removing the forward buttons in the play bar?  (That has been my trick until now.) 
    Thank you!
    Ryan

    Have a look at this very old blog post (but regularly consulted by lot of users):
    http://lilybiri.posterous.com/where-is-null
    Add a Next button, that is initially hidden and will be made visible when the entry in the TEB is no longer 'null'

  • How can I make only one user to be able to change a field

    I want only one user to be able to change material group for example.
    I want all other users when trying to change material, to see thie field - material group - display only.
    How can I do this?? What are the steps??
    Thank you

    Dear Theodoros,
    For the user to create/change material group:
    Go to transaction PFCG -> enter the role that you are using -> Select "authorizations" tab -> Edit Profile -> Here you will maintain activities for different authorization objects. Maintain Acticity "01" for material group authorization object.
    For the users to display material group:
    Go to transaction PFCG -> enter the role that you are using -> Select "authorizations" tab -> Edit Profile -> Here you will maintain activities for different authorization objects. Maintain Acticity "03" for material group authorization object.
    Authorization Object for Material Group: M_MATE_WGR

  • How can I make a homemade video on iDVD transition from one chapter to the next?

    For example, I usually have 4 chapters for my projects.  I coach basketball so each chapter represents a quarter.  When quarter 1 ends, it goes back to the menu...rather then going right into quarter?

    Hi
    Not 100% on Your question - but may be this helps.
    Play all resp. one chapter at a time
    Play All Button
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in height. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
    3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
    Summary
    a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
    b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go

  • How can I make a flash user interface with buttons to open up and navigate other flash files?

    Hello I would like to make a user interface that will serve as a tool to load and unload other flash materials like a slideshow. I would like to make a kind of slideshow with Flash that opens up other flash files which could be around 10-15 slides (frames) long each. I would want to ask if there is any way to make a link between navigation and other slides easily. And if there are ways, what action codes should I use for this. Thank you very much.

    All you need to do is load a swf into the main swf and target it with whatever controls you intend.  If you are using AS3 then you could use the Loader class to load the swf and then target the Loader.content with your control buttons.

  • HT204387 how can i make ipad discover my bluetooth GPS again?witched it on the iPad discovered it but I didn't havre the pairing code to hand.

    Can I reset iPad bluetooth? It recognised my bluetooth GPS when I first switched on but I didnt have the pairing code to hand and the pairing opportunity timed out. It seems to have decided to ignore the GPS bluetooth now.

    The only option is to wipe the device clean and restore it to factory settings.  Hope you have a backup.
    Follow the instructions in  iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 to restore the device to factory settings.
    Once you have setup the device as a new one, you can then sync it back with your iTunes account and all your music, apps, contacts and any other content sync'ed with iTunes will be loaded on the device. Any content that is stored only on the device and not sync'ed with iTunes, like app logins or data, will be lost during this process. Be forewarned that this is a long process and can take a couple of hours or more to complete. This can be painful, but it is necessarily so to prevent users from working around the security settings. After the restore is complete, you can setup a new Restrictions passcode. Make a note of the passcode to avoid this situation in future.

  • How can I make a Required Field give a text window if not completed?

    My question is simple but I cannot find any way to do this. I need to set a field on a form I created to do 1 of 2 things:
    1. Not allow you to save the Document until the required text box has information added to it
    and or
    2. Have a window's style prompt or text box appear and say "THIS FIELD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFOR CONTINUING"
    I have been told this isn’t hard to do but I have poured many man hours into this personally and have come to the conclusion I am possibly border line retarded or just do not comprehend how to complete this task. If this needs to be done in Java Script I would need a very good walk through or at least pointed to an idiot proof tutorial that I can read and complete this task.
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Thank You,
    PTM

    thanks for the help again,
    its still not working, I have the following:
    insert is set to yes
    update is set to NO
    update if null only is set to NO
    Lock record is set to NO.
    I tried setting insert to No, but when the user reaches the form its says "field is protected against update."
    what I want ?
    when the user reaches the form, the user has to perform a Ctrl - L to populate the list of values.
    After the user selects from the list of values, I want the field to be un-editable in the text field.
    thanks,

  • During installation of the NI-VISA 2.01 driver I get an error that tells me that my file (NICVISA.DPT) doesnt look like a tar archive. How can I make it look like a tar archive or is that not the solution to the problem?

    I am trying to install the NI-VISA 2.01 driver I downloaded from the NI website on a HP-UX 10.2 platform, but it keeps giving me the following error:
    tar: /var/spool/sw/NICVISA.DPT: This doesnt look like a tar archive.
    I also get errors telling me that files can't be loaded because their missing from source media. What could be causing this? Some of the files are msgrt4.txt,ni7seg24.bdf,ni7seg26, etc... Can these needed files be downloaded anywhere or is the problem linked to the tar archive scenario..

    The files were corrupt. Originally I had downloaded the driver files to my PC and used FTP to transfer them to my UNIX machine.
    Your tech support rep. suggested I download the driver files via ftp.ni.com to my UNIX machine vs. the PC...this worked great. I am now communicating with my instrument
