Is it possible to hide success/failure captions in the test, but make them available in the review?

Hi Everyone
I've got a 50 question, timed quiz and we want to disable the success and failure captions because they slow the students down, frankly, are kind of annoying. However, we want to allow the users to review the quiz after taking it. The problem is that the review feed back seems to use the success/failure object, so, when you review the quiz, you just see the questions with no feedback. Kind of pointless. Does anyone know of a way to disable (or remove) the success/failure captions in the quiz, while providing feedback in the quiz review?
Thanks

Hello,
For the moment a lot of people are still working with CP4, others have adopted CP5 already, so it helps if you mention the version you're using.
The feedback showed during review is in the Review area (you can see it in the slide on the stage). The message in this Review Area is not linked to the Correct/Incorrect/Incomplete messages you can show during answering the Questions. If you are using CP5 you can deactivate the Correct and Incomplete messages in the Quiz Properties panel, region Options. You cannot deactivate the Incorrect message. If the user answers correctly and the Correct caption is not there, the project will continue after clicking on the Submit button. However when the user answers incorrectly, the Incorrect message will appear however, instructing them to use 'Y' or click on the slide to continue.
During Review the user will see the Review Message, if you allowed Review (Quiz Preferences, Settings). The message showed is configured in the "Quiz Review Message' that you'll see in the Properties panel when the Review area is selected (or using the button 'Quiz Review Messages...' in the Quiz Preferences, Settings). If the user answered correctly, the message 'You answered this question correctly" (is indeed similar to the Correct caption). If the user answered incorrectly, his answer will be displayed and the correct answer (which is different from the Incorrect caption).
Hope this explains the difference. If you are using CP4, let me know and I'll try to explain the workflow in that UI.

Strange issue in custom Success/Failure captions

Hi,
I have a strange issue in my custom Success/Failure caption. If I use 'S' letter in my customized caption .bmp file, it is not showing properly in the captivate. Attached file is for your reference. I tried converting text into image in photoshop, still it shows the same thing. Any thoughts??
Thanks in Advance,
-Ajay

OK. That's what I thought.
So what I think is going on here is due to the way Captivate assembles text captions that can stretch to any size based on the component images. I think your corner image that contains the text is being stretched right at the point where the S character is located on the end of Congratulations. Captivate is achieving the resizable text caption by repeating the last few pixels of each background image.
If you want to test my theory, just make your Congratulations text slightly shorter (use a condensed font or make the font size smaller) and I think your issue will go away.

Suggestion: Click Box needs option to display success/failure caption until next click

As it stands right now, if I want to put several click boxes on a page and have the success captions for each appear in the same location, I can only set the success/failure caption to display for a limited amount of time. That is the only way to make the text disappear from the screen. The problem is, I want to have several different click boxes. When the user clicks, the success caption should display. Then the user shoudl be able to click on another click box and have the success caption for that appear in the same location. The problem is the success caption from the previous click box may still be displayed (depending on how long it was set to display for). There really needs to be an option to select that says display until next click. It does no good to guess how long a user will want to read the success/failure text before they decide to click on another text box.
You have the same problem with audio. As it is right now, a user can click on several click boxes and have several different audio tracks playing simultaneously. There needs to be an option to disable the first audio track upon clicking the next click box.
I can't believe this problem hasn't been fixed before this. It is a very annoying problem. I never had half the problems I have with Captivate, when I used Authorware. If there is some kind of work-around I'd like to know what it is.

My suggestion would be that you think a little further outside the box to solve this 'issue'.
It appears to me that you want to display information in captions that appear and disappear based on user interaction, correct? AND you also want audio to play at the same time, but you don't want more than one audio track to play, correct?
To achieve what you want requires at least two separate mouse events. One event triggers the caption and audio to appear. The other must trigger any previous captions to disappear and immediately shut off their audio. Since you don't know which of your objects will be the first one interacted with by the user, all of them must be set up to check for any previously invoked captions and audio before turning on their own caption and audio.
Now all of this CAN be done using Captivate's variables and advanced actions. But there IS a much simpler solution staring you in the face. Why is it essential that all of this MUST happen with mouse clicks? Why not use mouse overs events instead?
Captivate provides rollover caption and rollover image objects for which you can attach audio to the object that appears on rollover. These objects have two mouse events (rollover and rollout). Rollover triggers the caption to appear so that the text displays and it's audio plays, while the rollout triggers the caption to disappear and automatically shut off the audio. This means that the user merely needs to move their mouse around the screen rolling over the hot spots to see information and hear audio. And if you just place a click box or button on the slide to pause the playhead, your user can spend as much time as they want reviewing the content before moving on. You don't have to worry about rewinding the playhead with Advanced Actions because clicks on your content objects would resume play.
These rollover objects can be set up in seconds with audio attached. I'm surprised more Captivate authors don't use them given how easy they are to apply in comparison to other click-driven solutions using Advanced Actions.

Memory Game Success/Failure Caption Duration

Is there any way to extend the amount of time the success and failure captions stay on the screen for the memory game in Captivate 7?

Memory game can fail because of time out as well. Since the variable assigned to memory game does not show up in the variables list, I don't think you can delay it for failure condition.
For success condition, delete the default captions, add your own caption, name it as say, Success, assign the following advanced action for On Success.
Show Success.
Assign cpCmndGotoFrame with CpInfoCurrentFrame

Possible to hide / unhide slideshow captions?

Is there a way to hide/unhide slideshow captions? I would like to do something similar to this: http://www.geschewuerfel.com/GalleryMain.asp?GalleryID=117628&AKey=DSWC4N8C . If you click on one of the images so it is full screen, then the 'i' button underneath will reveal the caption.

Hi
You can try using Lightbox composition and then insert Tooltip in container area.
In tooltip settings, select stacked position and transition as vertical then it would be similar effect as you have mentioned. Arrange caption , navigation buttons in same area so that they should show up as inline.
Thanks,

Is it possible to hide a Subject area for user and still make dashboards

Hi,
I have requirement like i need to hide Subject Area for perticular user but still i need to allow him to run dashboard Reports developed on that hiding subject area.
means 'User should not see the Subject area but he shoud be able to run reports'.
is it possible in any way..?
Any Help appreciated..
Thank You,
Anil Kumar

Hi,
Try this one out
1) Create a new dashboard based on some other presentation catalog lets say p1.
2) Drag drop reports from required presentation catalog lets say p2 onto this dashboard.
3) Go to settings>Administration>manage presentation catalog and remove access from p2.
4) Give read only permission on dashboard created. It will make sure that you don't get edit dashboard option for that page.
In this way he won't be able to see p2 catalog in answers and still be able to access some reports on dashboard.
Regards,
Sandeep

Is It Possible to Hide Applications on PPC Without the Icon Color Fade

I use Apple + H to hide applications when i'm not using them but i'd like it for the icon not to change to a faded version of itself when i hide it. I know on my Intel Mac Mini it doesn't change the icon but i was wondering if it was possible on my iBook to have the same no-icon-change happen.

Are you talking about the Dock icon for the app? If so, it doesn't do that here. Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem's gone. If so, then something's amiss with your Dock settings. If not, then it's system-wide and you might consider reinstalling the 10.4.2 COMBO update or, better yet, the 10.4.8 COMBO update.

Is it possible to hide or at least change the position of the Reset button in registration template?

Hi,
in the registration template there are always the Submit and Reset buttons.
2 questions regarding the Reset button:
from a usability stand point: what's the reason of putting the Reset button equally weighted (from a visual standpoint) next to Submit?
wouldn't it be better to have placed on the left?
(or even hide it?)
Thoughts?
Thanks.

Hi,
It is not recommended to modify this page because it is used farm widely.
What’s more, it will be overwritten once there is upgrade happens.
A workaround is that you can create a custom spcf.aspx page with the layout templates you want.
http://doitwithsharepoint.blogspot.com/2011/08/create-web-part-pages-with-custom.html
http://sandeeppawar.blogspot.com/2012/06/create-custom-web-part-page-template.html
If you want to hide a layout template by modifying the
spcf.aspx page, it locates at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS
You can edit this page and remove some <option> tags in the <select> tag, then the removed options will not display on the page.

Is it possible to control what updates a client will install, but have them be downloaded from Microsoft?

We have many smaller sites that are connected to our MPLS network on low bandwidth links such as 2 - 4 Mbps. There is not enough infrastructure there to support a DP site server. Is there a way to tell the client what Windows Updates to install, but
have that client download from Microsoft rather than a DP?
Part of the problem is that the DP for those clients will have the files, so most of the options I see on the specify download settings of this deployment page of the wizard, do not seem to work for me. I see where I can tell the client to use Microsoft
Updates if the updates are not found on distribution point. But they will be found because they will be there for clients that use it with higher bandwidth.
Is branch cache ( or allow clients to share content I guess ) my only option?
Thanks

Ok, keep in mind that this stuff is not tested, not documented, and not supported:
Under "SELECT * FROM SMS_SCI_Component WHERE ComponentName = ' SMS_WSUS_CONFIGURATION_MANAGER ' AND SiteCode = 'CEN'"
Property is:
HostBinariesOnMicrosoftUpdate
Undocumented, untested, but normally untested stuff works well for ConfigMgr! Flag is propbably translated to this WSUS feature:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.updateservices.administration.iupdateserverconfiguration.hostbinariesonmicrosoftupdate(v=vs.85).aspx
So try setting it to 1 and have a go?

Slide Audio and Failure caption aduio plays at same time

I have tried to read the many postings before I submitted
this question. I am sorry if I am still not getting it.
I have created a simulation and I am having trouble pausing
the audio when the user clicks too soon (before the slide audio
stops). When I am testing I will click the wrong area at the time
the audio asks the user to click. (Basically I am clicking too soon
on purpose just as some users might do.) When I click too soon in
the wrong area the 'Failure' caption appears with audio. That is
exactly what I want to happen. But the audio for the slide
continues so I have two audios now playing at the same time. I am
sure it is due to my option settings but which one?
I have a slide with audio that plays for the entire length of
the slide (7.7 secs).
I have one click box on the slide set to 'Continue' on
success. Displays for 4 seconds. Appears on the timeline at 3.7
seconds and lasts for the duration of the slide. The click box has
the following options selected: 'Failure' , 'Stop slide audio when
clicked' , 'Pause project until user clicks' , 'Pause for
success/failure captions'.
The 'Failure' caption options are set to display for 5.6
seconds (the client wanted audio instructions to guide the user
when the user had the wrong response). The Transition is set to
'Fade in and out'. Both 'In' and 'Out' are set to .5 seconds.
How do I get the Slide Audio to stop? It does not have to
resume just stop.
Thank you,
C

Hi there C
Firstly, apologies for the slow response, but, speaking for
myself, I tend to not answer questions where I am not comfortable
in giving the right answer. However, your plea for assitance has
dragged me out of my shell, so here goes:
My understanding is that on a click object, if you have
selected "stop slide audio on click", then that object will stop
the slide audio ONLY if the user clicks ON it. In other words, a
click anywhere else will bring up the failure caption if this is
set, BUT the slide audio will continue.
Now, to sail into totally uncharted territory, there are 2
things you could try/test:
Insert a click box over the whole slide that "continues on
success" but has your failure audio linked to it and enable the on
success caption, but edit it to show as a failure caption. In other
words, the user has clicked on this object incorrectly, therefore
they need to see and hear the failure of having not having chosen
the correct option. I would suggest that this click box displays
for the rest of the slide, but sits below your original box on the
timeline.
The second option is to set your original click box to
navigate to a duplicate slide on failure that does not contain the
slide audio, but is then set up as your "failure" slide with a
slide navigation back to the original slide after the audio has
completed. If you choose this option, then it might be a good idea
to have your failure text and audio include something like "let us
try again" as the original slide will start playing from scrarch
again.
Please let me know via this post if this helped or not!!

Click Box does not show failure caption

In one of the slides, I have 4 pictures. I put click box over
each of the pictures, one of them I set success caption, the other
3 failure caption. When I click the success box, success caption
shows, but when i click the other box, the failure caption could
not show.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Hi EstherH
I don't believe you can make it work that way. Here is how
Success/Failure captions work with Click Boxes. Any click on the
box itself will cause the Success Caption to dsplay (If it has been
enabled). Any click OUTSIDE the Click Box area will cause the
Failure Caption to display. (Again, if it has been enabled).
I'm thinking you can get what you want by thinking backwards
a bit. For each of the three incorrect Click Box areas, configure
the
Success Caption to resemble what you want the Failure to
read. You may also wish to change the caption style so it's
different. If you did this, a click on the other Click Box would
trigger it's Success Caption to display, but it would effectively
present a Failure to the user.
Make sense? Hope so... Rick

Several click boxes on screen but only one failure caption appearing

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 6 and I have 3 click boxes on one slide. I have set each click box to have a Failure caption however, only the failure caption of the click box in the top position of the timeline appears in the course.
Ideally I want all 3 captions to appear at once if the user fails to click in any of the correct areas.
Do anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Liam

Hi Liam
One way I can fathom would be to create a blank slide. Insert three text captions that present the text you wish to see and arrange them so they "work" aesthetically. Then preview the project and screen capture. Then configure the background as transparent and save the image. Use this image as the Failure caption for that top level Click Box object.
Cheers... Rick

Cp6 - Building assessment type simulations - failure caption occurs too soon!

Greetings and happy day before the end of the world.
Assuming that life will exist (in its current form) after Friday, I've got a job to do so, here is my question.
I am building assessment simulations and I am wondering if there is an easy way to either default or change the number of guesses the learner can make *before* they see the failure caption.
Currently the default in Captivate 5.5 (simulations are recorded in version 5.5 and then published in version 6) is that the failure caption appears immediately after the learner clicks on the incorrect area.
Can this be changed so that the learner is able to click twice before they see the failure caption?
The hint caption is useless because it only appears when the learner hovers over the correct location. Is there something I am missing? But remember, time is money, so the effort to make this change, either during the recording (as a default change) or in post editing must be simple and quick, otherwise it isn't worth it.
Thank you
.... hmm, I think everyone is on holidays. :-) Stay safe and happy all!

How to hide a network volume on the finder.

We use a java application to manage advertising.
This application must reach a smb network volume to access to
the files. On the other hand we do not want that the users can access to
this network volume (to see this network volume on the finder).
It is possible to hide a network volume on the finder.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop and uncheck the 'Connected Servers' option.
Alternatively, if you want to leave other servers showing, you can manually mount the volume at any other point, bypassing the /Volumes directory:
mount smb://server/sharename /some/other/mount
This should mount the share at the path /some/other/mount rather than at the default /Volumes/sharename
