Reporting preferences

What is the difference among the various Report Data choices
in Quiz Reporting Preferences --
User Access Only
Quiz results and slide views
Slide views only
How does Captivate knows if a slide has been viewed or not --
don't see this explained in the Help menu.

Does the report data option "Quiz results and slide views"
under Quiz Reporting Preferences in Captivate 3 only apply to the
quiz oriented slides (e.g., question slides and result slide)? I
built a course that has simulation and image slides that proceed a
5 question quiz. I want the student to view all the simulation and
image slides then take the quiz. When a student views some of the
simulation slides then exits the course, they fail. I was expecting
incomplete. In Articulate there is an option that the student must
view all slides and pass the quiz in order to pass or complete the
course. I was expecting similar behavior but didn't find this true.
This made me think that this option only looks at the quiz oriented
slides. Since the student never viewed them, it sent back failed.
As Jay indicated, the Captivate Help was no help in explaining
these Report Data options.

Mass changes to Financial Reporting Preferences in Workspace

Hello,
Does anyone know a way to do a mass changes to the 'Preferences' settings found in the Workspace for Financial Reporting? We want to be able to change the settings without individual user ever worrying about it.
Thanks.

Hi,
No that is just for setting the POV.
If you want to set initial preferences for FR then have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/fr_user/ch15s02.html

Error running comparison report

In a Demo instance for release 12.1.2 I run the extract for Profiles selection set, then on the same instance, changed some of the profile values and re-run the same extract. When I run the comparison report using both extract files I get the following error message:

We both have same privileges in shared services.
I have created this new report.
Just to let you know it worked fine when i created on 1st day for both of us and is now throing error.

Hi,
Have the other admin turned on the preview option in the workspace financial reporting preferences.
This sometimes can cause problems if it is turned off.

Excel output display issue after exporting the report

Hi All.
We are using BI Publisher with Oracle retail for report generation.While exporting report in excel format , after saving the file we are not able to see the data.
When we do a Format-->Autoformat and select one of the options, we can see the data .
What could be the possible reason for this?Can i do anything to avoid this.
Is there a possibility of checking excel log to see how the Excel treating the incoming data.If yes, how can we check the excel log(failed to find anything on this).
Thanks!!

Hmm.. Not really sure. Have you checked your Financial Reporting preferences on Workspace? Couple of things to look for:
- Export to Office Application options
- User Point of View options
I would just check the preferences and test various options.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Help needed with LMS Reporting Settings

I am new to Captivate and am working with 5.5 to create a number of large courses.
The first course, I have split over 5 captivate files as there are a large number of slides in each file. I have reviewed the Help PDF on Learning Management System, but am struggling to find the correct settings in the Reporting Preferences to suit my needs.
Course structure:
File 1     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 2     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 3     -     more than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 4     -     more than 100 slides, includes question slides not set as reporting, non score-reporting objects
File 5     -     less than 100 slides, includes question slides as score-reporting objects and other non score-reporting objects (final quiz to be reported and scored in LMS)
I envisaged using Slide Views Only in the first 4 files, and then Quiz Results and Slide Views in the last file.
However, these two choices only seem to allow a maximum of 100 Slides - is this correct?, is there no way around this?
There is another course in our series with much more slides than this first one so having to split into files of 100 could mean
up to 12 captivate files in one course.
I don't know if I now need to re-think the structure of the courses. Maybe I have completely misunderstood the Quiz Reporting
and Reporting Scores.
I need to be able to have the Learner click their way through the course, making it highly-interactive for them but at the same
time not scoring everything they click, until they reach the final assessment which is 10 questions and scored in %.
Another thing, after numerous tests, it seems that if I untick the 'Never Send Resume Data' then the 2nd file does not open. Leaving
it ticked will open the 2nd file - but then the progress is not saved if the Learner exits the course before finishing. Has anyone
experienced this before?
I also would like clarification on the Manifest Settings, the 'Identifier' - should I be giving each file a unique number, or does it not
really matter? When we purchased 5.5, we did not know that we would need the Multi-SCO Packager, so have tried an alternative
called Reload Editor timebeing, which we have been using for our testing with collating the files - has anyone used this before? I have
tried to download the free trial of elearning suite 2.5 but I am having problems getting it done.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

The number 100 shown in Slide View Completion is the % of the total number of slides, not the number of slides from 1-100.
Your strategy of breaking the course up into smaller modules like this is a good one.
But if you have only one of the 5 modules that has scoring, you might be wise to add at least one scored object to each of the other modules (perhaps a button on the first or second slide with a nominal score of 1 point) to give the project at least some kind of a score. I find that in some LMSs if one module in a course is scored, they expect ALL the others to also have a score as well. So providing some surreptitious method of giving the user a guaranteed score keeps everything working on an even keel.
Set Report Status as Pass/Fail and Report to LMS as Percent. These are the settings I find most reliable.
When using multi-SCO SCORM packages created with Captivate, whether or not the second file in the sequence of modules opens automatically is something you are supposed to set up in the LMS, not in Captivate. Look for an option called Auto Continue or similar. This is supposed to mean that when the user finishes playing each module, the next one will open automatically.
There are two Identifiers you need to specify in each module. One is the SCORM course identifier and all modules that belong to the same course should share this same ID. The other is the SCO ID for each module, and these should all be unique.

Slide views only to be reported, but grade is reporting to lms as 0 instead of n/a

My client has a number of quiz questions throughout their course. They asked that the quiz be set up to allow infinite attempts until the learner gets the answer right, and that there are no points or grade associated with the quiz. I've set up each question as a quiz question, but set the grade to be 0. I did it as a quiz question as there are matching type questions, multiple choice, etc. and I found it valuable to have the structure in place to add in the content. The reporting preferences are set up as to report back slide views only, but when this file communicates with the LMS, it is reporting back a pass/complete but giving a grade of 0. I'd like it to show up as n/a under the grade rather than 0.
Also, this course isn't booking marking and learners aren't happy because when they go back in their answers aren't saving. As well, the client wanted backward movement to be allowed but when the learner clicks the back button to go back through the slides, it automatically resets the question slides and they have to re-answer them to continue. Is there a way to change a setting so that the answers will stay in place?
And my last question (promise, sorry for so many) under the quiz settings and then required there are 4 options. I'm just wondering if anyone can explain these 4 options and what each do, so that I can make sure I'm selecting the best one. Up until now it's been a trial/error type of thing, but it would be great if anyone can share some additional info.

Thanks so much! I'm the only one working in Captivate, and so I can't even tell you how helpful it is to have replies and people that understand what I'm asking.
I looked into the manifest file, but I couldn't seem to find the masteryscore text. Here's a copy and paste of my manifest file. Am I missing something?

FR and Web Analysis reports will not run in workspace

I have configured both FR and Web Analysis and then re-configured workspace to pick them up. 'Reporting and Analysis shows up in my foundation metadata under workspace. All my related ports are enabled.
Database connection manager, import financial reporting reports, preferences financial reporting, tools/link to web analysis, do not appear in workspace.
get 'required application context analyzer is missing. please contact your adminstrator.' error when try to run a web analysis or financial reporting report from workspace.
Web analysis as a client with reports is working fine.
Financial reporting allows me to create a database connection, create a report, pdf preview from the client but web preview breaks with generic page not found error.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi,
You can use panel while creating reports and put all the graphs on it .
Panels color can be changed.

Financial Reporting Studio - Suppress Shared Members During Entity Prompt

I am trying to create a Financial Reporting Studio report where the entity members that are displayed as a prompt only reflect the entities the user has access to with only one occurrence in the list. I have tried the following scenarios with no luck.
In Workspace, the Financial Reporting Preference, the Setup User POV option "Member Selection Displays" is set to "Only Members I Can Access" and not "All Members Regardless of Access".
The Financial Report is set up so that the user is prompted for the Entity so they can select multiple entities to run the report.
This works fine, except this is also displaying the shared members in the alternate hierarchies when responding to the Entity prompt.
As part of Defining the prompt, I have included the main entity structure in the "Choices List" in hopes that the shared members wouldn't display as an option to select, but this ends up displaying all of the entities in the hierarchy overriding what is the Financial Reporting Preference (acts like "All Members Regardless of Access"). I have also tried the Union of "Suppress shared members" and "Same level as" a level zero entity, but I'm still seeing all of the members of the main entity hierarchy, rather than a list of entities the user has access to.
Is there a way to display all of the entities only once that a user has access to during a prompt for a report? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!!

I don't think there's a native way to do this in HFR. How could it be done other than through creating a custom selection list? Okay, I guess that is one way but it hurts my brain to think about maintaining it unless it could maybe be done through IDESCENDANTS of 1 and 2.
Here are two other thoughts:
1) Write a report against the Planning (I could be wrong about you using Planning as you specify Essbase, but the question is in the Planning board) tables to get this information. I don't know how to do it, but I'm guessing with some SQL gyrations it should be possible.
2) Stick an attribute against hierarchies 1 & 2 and report on them that way. You the designer already know that they are related. More maintenance on the front end, but a surefire way to get the member list out.
Regards,
Cameron Lackpour

Interactive Reports Lost

It would appear that when a new Apex application is installed the Interactive Reports preferences are reset and any saved reports are lost. Am I doing something wrong or is this a feature of Interactive Reports.

Resurrecting/Bumping this thread.
I tried David Peake's advice on this but drew a blank.
Here's where I am with this.
Server 1: DEV & UAT environments
Server 2: Production & Demo environments
DEV APP_ID = 127
DEMO APP_ID = 555
I created a copy of 127 and assigned it the 555 ID during the 'copy' process.
I then exported App ID 555 from server 1 and imported it into server 2 following David's instructions.
+"select "Install As Application:" option of 'Reuse Application ID xxx From Export File', not 'Auto Assign New Application ID' or 'Change Application ID'"+
Sadly, you guessed it, the user saved IRR reports are no more.
Has anyone cracked this?
Can anyone see what I may be doing wrong?
Any help appreciated.
Like many people here, I have lots of users with carefully crafted IRR regions. I don't want to be the one to tell them they have to re-create them.
There HAS to be a way to save them.
Thanks

Financial Reports Access

My reports that use "User POV" are giving the users the following error
5222: Unable to view report. You do not have access to the following members on the POV:
If I move the POV to Grid POV then it opens without error (even thought it's the same member). I also selected the member in my Financial Reports preference. I originally had 3 dimensions in User POV. Each gave the same error. I removed all and everything worked. As soon as I moved it back it started not working. The user does not have access to all members in the hierarchy (so they don't have access to the top member)
How do I set this up so User POV works properly for all users???
Basically the objective is to have the filter work with whatever member the user has access to but give them the option to switch to other member that the user has access to as well.
We are running 11.1.1.3 in production.

Yes I was getting an error every single time and preview removed the error. And no I didn't get a pop up box to switch it to something else.
This only occurs on dimensions you put security on it.
I actually figured out that you can do this for the user. Then once you have saved your user settings (in UserPOV). You can then remove the "preview" on and it still works without the error because my settings.
Kind of bad design IMO

Is there a way to create a commentary file for the summary screen?

I am not seeing the summary screen in the list of commentary files in the \Development\include\commentary\en-CA\screen path. Is there a way to create a commentary for the summary screen?
Thanks all.

thanks Kristy,
I'm not sure of the best way to add any requests we have for future releases.
If there is one, let me know what is best.
Here is what I want to add.
In the properties file, one can set decision report preferences for an attribute - for invisible and silent.
I wish we could also set preferences for bold, and given that, I guess it makes sense to be able to set preferences for italic and underline
While these can be addressed through custom properties and XSLT, it obviously would be easier for the modeler to be able to select the attribute enhancement in the properties file. Given that decision reports can get very long, and there are attributes which might be better highlighted in some way, this would be a great approach.

Trouble syncing iPod after initial connection

We just purchased a 5th gen iPod, and we're having some trouble getting it to sync with our Mac mini Core Duo. When we connect it via the included USB cable, it will appear on the desktop, trigger iTunes to start up, and perform a sync. However, the problem arises if we try to manually sync the iPod again after that first sync. When I go into iTunes and right click on the iPod and select "Update iPod", iTunes hangs for a minute with no indication that the iPod is syncing. If I try to right click on the iPod and select "Options", I am able to choose different options, but after clicking "OK", iTunes hangs for a minute and then reports "Preferences were not safed for the iPod "xxxxxx" because it could not be found." Basically, it seems like after that first sync, the iPod disconnects and will not reconnect.
Additional notes:
* I have tried the "Five R's", although the "Reinstall" part did not work - when I tried to run the iTunes installer, it told me there was "nothing to install". Presumably because I already have the latest version of everything.
* I did put the iPod into diagnostic mode, and it passed all tests successfully.
* Even when the iPod fails to sync, it does continue to charge... so it appears that the connection is at least working somewhat.
* If I set the iPod into Disk Mode, it seems to work fine. However, to do this, I either have to use the key combination to force it into Disk Mode, or REALLY QUICKLY set up the options to do so while it is performing its initial sync after being connected. As I said before, after the initial sync happens, and the iPod disconnects, I can't save any of the options.
* When I connect my 4th Gen iPod via the 5th Gen iPod's USB cable, it exhibits the exact same symptoms as the 5th Gen iPod. That leads me to believe the problem is not in the iPod itself, but possibly in the cable, the mini's USB port, or in the software. I have tried plugging in to all four USB ports on the mini with the same results. The 4th Gen iPod works fine when plugged in via FireWire. And of course the 5th Gen doesn't support FireWire, so I can't try that.
Any suggestions?
Mac mini Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2gb RAM

You're not alone. I have the exact same problem as
you. I had a 3G iPod before and it worked perfectly.
I'm glad to hear that someone else is having this problem. I'm totally baffled as to what the issue could be. I'm going to list every place I think there could possibly be a problem, and any steps I've taken to rule it out:
1. Hardware problem inside the 5th gen iPod.
- I have run all of the self-diagnostics, and they passed with flying colors. The iPod plays back music, photos, and video just fine. Also, I have the same problem with the 4th gen iPod, when it is hooked up via USB2. The 4th gen works fine when hooked up via FireWire.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
2. Hardware problem with my USB cable.
- I took my iPod to the Apple Store and hooked it up using their USB cable, and experienced the same problem. Also, the iPod charges normally in any case, and it syncs over my USB cable just fine if it's in disk mode.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
3. Hardware problem with a USB port on my Mac mini.
- As noted in #2, I took my iPod to the Apple Store and hooked it up to one of their Mac minis, and it had the same problem. Also, I plugged the iPod into all of the ports on my Mac mini and got the same results with all of them. All of my other peripherals work fine on all of the USB ports (printer, card reader, camera, mouse, keyboard).
- Conclusion: not the problem.
4. Hardware problem on my Mac mini other than the USB port.
- As noted in #3, I had the same problem when I hooked my iPod up to the Mac mini in the Apple Store. Also, I have run the Apple Hardware Diagnostics CD on my Mac mini and it did not come up with any problems.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
5. Problem with the iTunes software on my Mac mini.
- As noted earlier, I experienced the same problem when hooking up with the Apple Store's Mac mini. Also, my 4th gen iPod works just fine when connected via FireWire.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
6. Problem with the Mac OS X software on my Mac mini.
- As noted earlier, I had the same problem on the Apple Store's mini.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
7. Problem with the Firmware on my iPod.
- I had updated my iPod to firmware 1.1.1, but even after downgrading it to 1.1, I had the same problem. And I'm having the problem on my 4th Gen iPod when it is hooked up via USB, and it has a totally different firmware.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
8. Problem with the iTunes music library on my Mac mini.
- I reset the iPod using the iPod Updater, wiping out all of its data. I then created a fresh user on Mac OS X, logged in to it, and connected the iPod. That user had no iTunes library at all, so other than the preferences, no data was being synced to the iPod, and I STILL had the same issue.
- Conclusion: not the problem.
Ok, so all of those are not the problem. So what could the problem be? Well, let's try a few theories:
Theory A. This is a problem that affects all Mac mini Core Duo users who are syncing iPods over USB2.
- If this was true, wouldn't we be hearing a lot more complaints? I suppose if most of the users had their iPods set to disk mode, then they would never notice the problem.
Theory B. Um... I don't have any other theories.
I've thought about taking the iPod back and swapping it for a new unit, but based on all of the troubleshooting I've done, I don't see how that could make any difference, since I'm experiencing the same problem with my 4th gen iPod.
Anyone want to take a stab at it?
