IMSS Min Normalized Measure not appearing in imsmanifest.xml file

Question

Hello,
The IMSS Min Normalized Measure line is not appearing in my imsmanifest.xml file. It used to, but since I upgraded to Captivate 5.5, I don't see it anymore. I have thoroughly checked my settings:
Reporting is enabled
SCORM 2004/Manifest/Default is selected
Report Status: Pass/Fail
Report to LMS as: Percent
Report Data: Quiz Results and Slide Views
Reporting Level: Interactions and score
Did Captivate 5.5 fix it so we don't have to add the minimum score into the zip file anymore? If not, how do I correct this so the line shows up?
Thanks,
Barb

Hi Melody,
What I've been told by Adobe is that Captivate 5.5 produces a different looking manifest file than previous versions of Captivate.  For our LMS (Knowlagent), we require this line of coding so that we can manually input the minimum passing grade in a course.
Adobe said I could try to edit the default SCORM template to suit our LMS, but our LMS said it wasn't possible.
So instead, our LMS told us that if we adjusted the line of coding in each manifest file, it would work. And it has (it's just a little extra work each time you publish).
This is what you need to do:
Find the below block of code in your imsmanifest.xml file and change the value for satisfiedByMeasure from false (default) to true.  Once that line is changed, in the same block of code paste in the minNormalizedMeasure line that was present in the file previously (both settings are highlighted below).  The .80 is what we chose as our minimum passing grade (80%) but you can change that number to whatever you want.

                                                                                <imsss:objectives>
                                                                                                     <imsss:primaryObjective objectiveID="PRIMARYOBJ" satisfiedByMeasure="true">
                                                                                                                         <imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>.80</imsss:minNormalizedMeasure>
                                                                                                     </imsss:primaryObjective>
                                                                                </imsss:objectives>
Hope that helps! Are you using Captivate 5.5 too? Which LMS are you using?
Thanks,
Barb
