How to report text entries in captivate 5.0?

I need students to write in a Text Entry Box and I would like to see what they have said. I do not want to score them or anything like that, just want to recieve their entries. Please is there anybody who knows how I can do that in Captivate 5?

Hello,
You can report entries of a TEB to a LMS, at least I'm doing that to our LMS. You will need at least one scored object to enable reporting, and will have to report on the level Interactions and Score.
Do you use a LMS?

How to report texts - using infoset or another way?

I have a requirement to report long text fields in EHS incidents - such as an incident "Description of Events" and "Immedaite Actions". I have tried creating an infoset with the incident table EHHSSD_INC_BINFA joined to /BOBF/D_TXCCON, with an additional field to extract part of the TEXT field, but am getting the error ""/BOBF/D_TXCCON" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables, strings, references, or structures as components. -".
How can I report on this TEXT field using infoset or another method?
Thank you,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Just wanted to check if you are able to resolve this issue? i am in the same boat and wanted to check if you have any solution.
Thanks

How to delete text entries in drop down's?

I've been creating new PDF forms for my communications center and one of the forms I added a drop down box with all of our dispatchers names. When someone is filling out the form after its been saved to the computer, if they accidentally enter the wrong name they cannot delete it. This isn't so much an issue for the drop down for the person who filled out the form, but if they hit the drop down for who cleared the entry, then its a problem as like i said, you cannot delete the name. Is there anything I can change so that if someone accidentally hits the wrong drop down it can be deleted or erased?
Also the same question can be asked about a calendar add-on from formrouter, if you click the box where I have the date set up you can't get rid of the box without choosing a date. I was hoping that something like hitting the escape key might remove it but that doesn't help.

If you set up the dropdown to "Allow user to enter custom text", they will be able to manually set the field to blank, but this also lets a user enter anything they want, unless you restrict it further with a validation script.
Regarding the formrouter calendar, since you have access to the code you can modify it to behave however you want.

How can I get a click box to interact with a text entry box on the same page?

I'm creating a tutorial on using a specific system and trying to recreate what the end user would actual do in the system. On one slide, the end user must enter text into a field, then press a button (click box) to advance to the next slide. I want to be able to have the click box validate if the text entry is correct before advancing to the next slide. Is there a way to get the click box to validate the text entry? Not sure how to get the two objects to "talk" to each other rather than function independently.
Literally, I want the end user to enter the data in the text entry box, then click on the Get button. I need the Get button (click box) to both validate that the data entered in the text entry box is correct and, if it is, advance to the next slide. If the data is incorrect, I need the Get button (click box) to show the failure caption and have the end user re-enter the data correctly.
How do I get the objects to work together?

Hi there
You need to delete the Click Box. Yes, you heard me. Delete the puppy.
I know it sounds weird. But bear with me. After you delete it, double-click the Text Entry Box. Then click the Options tab. See that option called Show Button? Click it and click OK to dismiss the TEB properties.
Now you have the button you want. If you don't want a button, double-click it and set it as transparent. Remove the text. Position as desired where the Click Box was before.
Cheers... Rick

How do I incorporate text entry boxes into a quiz?

Hi Everyone,
I am very new to Captivate 8. I am trying to incorporate TEB's into a quiz. When I try to check the button (include in quiz) it is grey and does not allow me to check it. In addition I do not know how to let the programme know what text I would consider correct or incorrect after the student has typed it into the text boxes.
I am obviously missing something and would be very grateful for help because I am losing my patience ++ (all the videos on the web regarding this do not appear to be for captivate 8, only earlier versions :-()
Thanks
Alex

Hey everybody.
Im very new to Adobe Captivate and I try to create questions where the students have to enter numbers only. So I don't want them to be able to enter letters in to the field.
In text entry boxes I'm able to set it to numbers only. Is there a way to control this in quizzes as well?
If I try to create a new question I get only the choice showed on the pic below. Is there a possibility to add text entry boxes as quiz questions to the question-pool?

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 to validate the number of characters in Text Entry box?

Hi
I have inserted a text entry box and assigned a variable (UserName) to it. Now, I need to limit the entry to a maxinum number of 20 characters. In other words, how do I validate the number of characters in the text entry box and provide feedback if it is more than 20 characters?

Thanks.
I have posted this as a query on the relevant post on Jim's website. I am too new to regular expressions. I hope he will help with an example as well.

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.

Captivate: Buttons need more than 1 click & Text Entry more than one Enter keypress

Hi,
I am loading Captivate content in a Flash wrapper which is
embedded in an HTML page. Sometimes, when I enter some text in a
Text Entry field in my captivate movie and then press Enter key, it
does not register the key press in the first instance, but does it
when I do it again. Occasionally, clicks on Text Buttons are also
not registered the first time.
This behavior is not consistent, and the same files work
perfectly in other instances.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong? Would
appreciate a quick response.
Thanks!

Hi Mohsin,
Sounds like a focus issue. There is a variable you may want
to check out called "SeamlessTabbing". You can read more about it
here.
Setting that parameter to 'false' will (hopefully) maintain focus
within the SWF allowing you to validate the keystrokes properly. I
encountered this issue only with tabbing, but maybe there is a tab
keystroke that does work before you encounter this issue?
Let's do two scenarios for a sense of completeness:
1. Let's assume there is no way it could be a 'tab' issue
causing you to lose focus. In this case, make sure that your click
box \ text entry box appear at 0.1s into the slide they are on
(sometimes this causes issues if they are placed at 0.0). Also,
make sure they are set to do what they are intended to do like go
to the next slide or whatever.
2. If this is all started because of the tab key, try the
following: Create a text entry box on the same slide that has no
correct answers associated with it, so when you view the properties
of the box, the 'correct entries' box should be empty. Set the "On
success" to be "No Action" rather than its default "Continue". Set
the shortcut key to be Tab just like your other text entry box.
Finally, make sure the timing matches the other text entry box to a
tee. Once you have the text entry box on the slide, shrink it as
much as possible and tuck it away in a corner. Finally, make sure
that the text entry box that you type in is on the top layer of the
slide, and the other box that we just made is on the bottom. Then
again, as long as it is not in front of the text entry box you are
typing in, you will be fine.
If there is no success with these, I would recommend
implementing the seamlessTabbing variable I mentioned earlier into
your wrapper, not the individual Captivate file, to see if that
helps at all.
Give that a try and let us know how it goes!
Good luck,
HTH,
Doug

Captivate 6 Text Entry Events Do Not Pass

I am a long-time user of Captivate going back to version 2. I've created a simulation course with numerous text entry events that do not validate correctly. I am typically using the TAB key to validate the text entered. I have several lessons where everything works fine, but many that have problems.
Typically when TAB is used at the end of a key press, you will see focus shift to the first button on the Play bar - and this does not cause any problems. I see this behavior on the events in my course that work. However, for the ones that do not work, I see the focus shifting to the Address Bar and the event will not pass.
The only workaround I have employed is to use On Focus Lost: Go to Next. This is not a great solution because the text no longer validates with this setting. These events will pass no matter what is entered.
I would really appreciate your help with this! My course is due soon. I would be happy to provide more information or upload my file for your inspection. Thank you!

For anyone who might be experiencing the same problem and looking for an answer - this is still 100% broken in Captivate version 6. None of the fixes discussed in the above referenced thread work. I tried playbar widgets, editing the playbars in Flash. No luck.
Adobe just moves forward from version to version not fixing the bugs they create in prior versions. That's your incentive to upgrade, folks.
Best workaround I can offer is Use ENTER as your validation keystroke. It doesn't have the same problems associated with TAB. Good luck!

Captivate 4 AS2 Text Entry Box not working with Flash Player 11

I am having issues with text entry boxes not working at all in flash 11. I am using Captivate 4 and exporting an AS2 swf. When you get to the slide you can type but you cannot see anything nor does the button or keystroke to move on. Also there is no cursor. Any ideas?

You said it is not working with Flash 11, so does that mean you tested with previous version and that worked?
While publishing choose Flash player as 9 and publish that, verify if that plays in a compatible web browser.
AS 2 is a legacy scripting, it has been said not too be supported with even Flash Player 10 --
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS2LCR/Flash_10.0/help.html?content=Part2_AS2_LangRef_1.html
I believe if you switch back to version 9 while publish your project, it should work.
Thanks,

How do I find the number of instances of a text entry?

Hello,
I have a spreadsheet and the cells have either a text entry or numerical entry.
I am trying to work out how to write a formula to total the number of cells which have a particular text entry.
Any help would be apprectiated. Thank you.

=COUNTIF(test-array, condition)
'test-array' is the range of cells you want to test
'condition' must be expressed as a text string. To find the count of "example text" on the table named "Data", you could use either of the formulas below (on a separate table). Both counts are of 'all columns of "Data"'. The counts include items in the Header column (Column 1 of Data), but do NOT include items in the Header row (Row 1).
In the single cell table, "Count 1" the search text is stated as a literal in the formula:
=COUNTIF(Data :: $A:$D, "=example text")
In the two cell table, the search text (other text), is set in the top cell, A1, and that cell is referenced in the formula in A2:
=COUNTIF(Data :: $A:$D, "="&A1)
Note that because of the omission of Header row cells, the formulas could be placed in a Header Row cell on the main table ("Data"), with the search value also placed in a Header row cell on that table. The formulas in this case would not include the "Data::" part of the 'test-array' argument.

Barry

Sorry, but this is not related to SAP on Oracle.
I would try ABAP forum instead.

How do I change the size of text entry box of search & location?

Dear Firefox Community
I want a longer text entry area in the search bar and a shorter text entry area in the location bar. How do I make this happen? I've looked at the customize Firefox notes and they don't address this (that I can find anyway ...). IIRC I was able to do it in an earlier version but ...
The educated guesses about my system are correct -
*Win 8.1, FF v35.
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.03
* Intel web components updater - Installs and updates the Intel web components
* Intel web components for Intel® Identity Protection Technology
* Shockwave Flash 16.0 r0
Thanks.

The Firefox browser is set up to what you see in front of you.
However, installing an add-on can give you want you are looking for.
Below is my Firefox display.
Many of us are using;
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis)]''' {web link}
Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).
This will restore many of the things the last upgrades took away.

Adds a vertical toolbar at the edge of the window.
