Text Entry Box - Free Text & Validation

Good day:
I am a user of Captivate 4 and have a question in regards to text boxes and validation.  I am attempting to create a simulation covering signing into a web-based application.  The user needs to input a username and a password.
I am attempting to create a slide that has 2 text boxes (one for username field and one for password) and 1 click box (submit).  I want to make it so that the user MUST type something into each text box before being aloud to click on submit button.
I know that I can create it so there is NO validation however I don't want to have the clip continue to the next slide until they have typed something into each of these boxes.
Ideally I would like the slide layout to follow this flow.
1. Pop-up box with instructions to "Log In"
2. Cursor starts in first text box.
3. User inputs data in first text box
4. Either Hit tab to advance to second text box OR click on the next text box.
5. User inputs data into second text box
6. Either Hit enter or click on Submit Advance to next slide.
Is this possible?  If so how can I set this up?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Brad

Hi Brad,
This is possible. I have created a sample project in Captivate 5.0. You could open it if you have Cp 5.0 else let me explain this in steps so that you could try it in Cp 4.0 as well.
https://acrobat.com/#d=pj-MtFnXsjZHv8BU6IFqCg
Steps in Cp 4.0:
1.Insert a Text Caption from 0 to 2.5 secs saying log in etc.
2.Put a Click Box on top of Text Caption at say 2 secs.
3.Insert a TEB for username(Uncheck the Success/Hint/failure Captions).Time from 2.5 to 5 secs. On the success set it "No Action".
4.Insert a TEB for password(Uncheck the Success/Hint/failure Captions) having "Submit" button.Time from 2.5 to 5 secs. On the success set it "No Action".
This should do.
Thanks,
Sikandar

  • Text Entry Box not displaying

    Hello,
    I apologize if this has been answered prior, but I've searched and couldn't find a solution (although I might just be terrible at searching).
    Whenever I do a software simulation recording in a particular Captivate project (I'm running 5.5), the recording doesn't seem to auto-insert the TEB's for the text fields I've used (at all).  Instead, when the slide that's suppoesed to require text-entry is shown, it just auto-fills all the text I entered during the simulation and skips to the end of the slide.  I can't for the life of me figure out why; there are no TEB's on the timeline either for that slide.
    I do have my Custom settings setup to "Automatically Add Text Entry Boxes for Text Fields"
    Any idea why this is happening?

    Hi there
    Unfortunately there are a few variables in this equation. Captivate may not understand that a text entry field is a text entry field. It sometimes misunderstands other controls it encounters. I believe that it largely depends on how the application developer elected to name the element. I believe that's how Captivate knows what an element is. By its name. So if an application developer created a Text Entry field but named it something obscure, Captivate fails to recognize it as such and insert the appropriate element.
    The good news here is that you are free to add any element you like after you have recorded. So even though Captivate failed to catch it, there's nothing preventing you from manually adding it. It's a hassle to have to do it, but at least you aren't prevented from doing it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Text Entry Box--Advanced Actions--Conditional Statement--Double quotes in literal input value

    Hello forums,
    I'm new to the forums (and Captivate in general), but I'm having a real problem carrying out a tutorial design and I think you may be my only hope.  Let me explain what I want to do and the difficulty that I'm having:
    I'm an instruction librarian at a university, and I'm designing an interactive tutorial for English 100 students to complete in order to become familiar with how to search the library catalog.  What I've done is taken a screenshot of the catalog search page, made it the background of a slide in Captivate (vers. 6), and placed a text entry box over the search bar in the screenshot.  The idea is for the students to conduct a simulated search by choosing one of three suggested search string formulations, and depending on the search string they enter, the tutorial will jump to a slide featuring a screenshot of what the actual search results would look like.  The idea is to emphasize the use of keywords over full-sentence phrases, and the use of double quotation marks to enclose multi-word search terms.
    So I've set the action for the TEB to "Execute Advanced Actions" and then created some IF/THEN statements in the "Advanced Actions" pop-up window (with action type set to 'conditional'). The script is such that if the student enters the first search option (how does sleep affect college students) in the TEB, the tutorial jumps to 1 slide, if they enter the second option (college students AND sleep), featuring a Boolean operator (AND), the tutorial jumps to a 2nd slide, and if they enter the third option ("college students" AND sleep) with the double quotes around "college students" and the Boolean operator, the tutorial should jump to a 3rd slide.  This action script works fine for the first two input options, but I can't make it work for the third search option.
    I think that it has something to do with the fact that the third input option features double quote marks, and this seems to throw off the script (I tried a quote-less input value for the third IF/THEN just to make sure that it would work jumping to the 3rd slide and it did), and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get around this issue.  Again, I need it to work so that if the student enters "college students" AND sleep, with the quote marks and the Boolean operator, the tutorial will jump to a slide showing the search results if those search terms were used in a real search of the catalog.
    I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone here can give me, we've been trying to make our online tutorials more engaging and interactive (and therefore more interesting), and I think this would be a great way to teach students about using quotes in their catalog searches.
    Thank you for your time and consideration.
    Andrew Wilk
    College Library

    The tutorial is for a "how to use catalog searching" instruction in an undergraduate library session.  We use boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) to combine search terms, ex. to search for books about the sleeping habits of college students, I would enter "college students AND sleep."  Because "college students" is a multi-word phrase to describe one concept, I need to put quotation marks around the phrase to prevent the catalog from searching for the individual words separately, so the most correct search becomes ["college students" AND sleep] with quotation marks around only "college students," a user-typed "AND," and the word "sleep" (no q-marks).
    A colleague of mine worked out a pretty cool (if complicated) solution that I'll share if anyone is interested.  Since the q-marks where the problem, we've set it up so that the TEB validates the response for the search string with q-marks around "college students." If they enter it correctly, the tutorial jumps to the corresponding slide. The attempt # is set to 1, and if the user fails to enter the validated phrase (they misspell or use one of the other response options) then the TEB is set to run an Advanced Actions Script in which the other two options are scripted in IF/THEN statements that cause, when the term is entered correctly, the tutorial to jump to their corresponding slides. We've created another tab of IF/THEN statements that say that if the response is NOT equal to one of these response options, then the slide restarts (technically the slide "jumps" back to itself and starts over) and the user gets another chance to start the cycle over again.
    I know this is confusing (I had a really hard time explaining it in words), so if anyone is interested I could make a Jing video when I have some time.
    Thank you for all your suggestions

  • Text entry boxes in CP6 - Enter key to validate input does not work in Safari?

    I'm using Captivate 6 to create a step by step walkthrough of some different processes that are commonly completed in my workplace. Some of the example processes have portions where text is entered to simulate a process the end user might need.  I have text entry boxes in these slides that require validation of the input to move along, with Enter used as a shortcut key. This works great in Firefox, Chrome and IE all the way down to 8....but if the course is run in Safari, the enter key does nothing.  Is this a known issue?
    Additional info: For many of these text entry boxes, the point is that it is a search field that has a little binoculars icon next to it that executes the search in the actual software we are simulating. For these slides I actually have the submit button associated with the text box made invisible (no fill, no stroke) and placed on top of the binoculars icon. This is an acceptable method of doing the task we're demonstrating, and just so happens to be a workaround for the enter key not working in Safari. However, a few places we have text entry that doesn't have the search/binocular icon next to it because there is a different goal on that section of the software we're visualizing. In those cases, there is no place for me to put an invisible submit button, and I can't make the submit button visible because that's not how the software we're demonstrating would work (thus defeating the purpose of the training).

    Sorry, this is a known bug with no fix available yet, but the makers of SwiftKey are aware of it and we will work with them to fix it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617298
    For now, the only solution is to use a different keyboard when using Firefox.

  • 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?

  • Text Entry Box - On losing focus?

    Hello fellow Captivators.  I'm being thick-headed, I guess, but I'm trying to figure out how I might use the new feature of Text Entry Boxes on the Advanced tab:
    I tried the setting as in the graphic, then when I preview, I click in the text entry box to give it focus, then I tab out of it (focus shifted to the playbar), but nothing happens.
    Is this how it's supposed to work?  And I'd love some suggestions about how to use this new feature.
    Thanks very much.
    Mister C.

    Thanks for your insight, Rick.  It is as you say.  If I type a character in the TEB first, then the on focus lost action on the Advanced tab takes place.
    But it doesn't quite make sense to me.  I'm doing a little testing.  The more I test, the more confused I get!!!
    I configured a TEB with a Submit button.  On success, I set it to go to the next slide.  On the Advanced tab, I configured the on focus lost action to go to the previous slide.  Then I tried it ---
    If I type the correct text and click the Submit button, I'd expect the go to next slide action to take place.  Instead, since the focus was lost when I clicked the Submit button, it went to the previous slide.  If I type the incorrect text and click the Submit button, I'd expect to get incorrect feedback.  Instead, again, since the focus was lost when I clicked the Submit button, it went to the previous slide.  If I type correct text and use my shortcut key of Enter, the first Enter does nothing, then a second Enter executes the on success action and goes to the next slide.  But, if I type incorrect text and use my shortcut key of Enter, it shows incorrect feedback --- I assume because focus is not lost just by pressing Enter.  But --- this doesn't make sense either, because the help file says "On Focus Lost Select the action that should be performed when the user presses Enter or Tab, or moves the pointer away from the object."   If I configure the shortcut key to be Tab instead of Enter, regardless of whether I type correct or incorrect text, the on focus lost action happens and I go to the previous slide.
    So it looks like the Advanced tab on focus lost is taking precedence over the submit button validation process.  That is, except for the Enter key shortcut.
    Does this behavior match with your experience?   Or does it even make any sense?

  • 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.

  • Using Value in a Text Entry Box for Calculation in a Variable

    I have a project where I ask the user to fill in their name in one entry box and their two-digit age in another text entry box.  Later in the project, I want to ask them to think back to when they were 6 years old and how they would describe themselves at that time.  (the project is on self-awareness).  To make this as personable as possible, I thought it would be neat to say. "(Name Variable), think back to about (Years Since 6)years ago, when you were just about 6 years old".  I am having trouble getting the "Years Since 6" variable to work, and would like to know if it is possible.
    I have set up the text entry box variable as "v_age"
    I have set up a variable as "v_age6" with a value of "6"
    I have set up the result variable as "v_result_age6"
    I have set up a standard action with a mathematical expression that reads "v_result_age6 = v_age - v_age6"
    The variable output does not show on the stage in project preview mode, and I think it's because there is only one variable with an assigned value in the equation.  The "v_age" variable does not have an assigned value because that is a text entry box.
    Is it possible to use a value typed in from a user as a variable to do math with?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum,
    Each TEB has an associated variable, its generic name is the same as the TEB. But you'd better link your variable with the more significant name to the TEB. Have a look at this real old blog post, still valid (although maybe the screenshots are bit out of date):
    http://blog.lilybiri.com/timesaving-tip-create-associated-variable-for
    BTW: you didn't need to create an extra variable for the number 6. This action would have done as well:
        Expression  v_resultage6 = v_age - 6
    How do you trigger the action, by which event?

  • Problem with Text Entry BoX in Adobe Captivate 6

    I could not enter correct responses for my text entry box. Plus, the "success" and " failure" options were greyed out for me under properties>options.
    I notice my icon is IAB for text entry box, whereas some users have a placeholder sign for the icon.

    This is very strange, even when not validated you should have at least the Success option in the Properties panel. If it is not validated you are left only with the Success event, that can fire an action when the Submit button for the TEB is pressed (or the shortcut key is used). You cannot be working on a master slide, because it is not possible to insert a TEB there. Please, post a screenshot of the stage with the properties panel, actions accordion.

  • An Array of Text Entry Boxes

    I am trying to make a servlet that has an array of text entry boxes for entering numbers. By changing numboxes, I would be able to vary the number of boxes. The problem is that it is only finding the first occurrence of the text entry boxes.

  • Text Entry Boxes and their content not being captured in Automatic Recording

    I have searched the forums here and elsewhere extensively and whilst I have found people with similar issues, I have yet to find a solution. My problem is this:
    I am trying to record myself using a piece of software which contains numerous text fields. In the past, when using Captivate 3, I would simply fill out these fields and Captivate would record my entries automatically. When the project was played back, the training simulation would pause and allow the user to type in the text field and provided the entry matched the options I had defined, the simulation would continue to the next step.
    So, my colleague and I have since bought Adobe Tech. Comms. Suite 2 and have upgraded Captivate 3 to version 4. Ever since doing this we have both been unable to successfully capture text entry boxes with their content when recording automatically in any mode. We have checked and triple checked the settings to make sure that the automatic capture of text entry in fields is turned on yet we still cannot get Captivate to perform this task it once so easily could. We both suffer from the same problem on both of our installations of Captivate 4. We have tried recording in all modes with no success.
    I am tearing my hair out as I need to come up with some sample content for a major Governmental client which would be worth a 5 figure sum to my company and I really don't relish having to manually create every text entry box as there are a LOT of them in this application!
    I have also reported this as a bug to Adobe using the correct form. As yet, no response.
    I would really appreciate any genuine help that can be offered by you guys.
    In desperation,
    Rob.

    Ok, I think I've sussed it!
    I've been pulling my hair out for weeks on this and after posting on here, I decided to try something and I think I may have found the problem.
    I work with a laptop as I am a Trainer and therefore quite mobile. When I'm in the office, I dock my laptop and use the Extended Desktop functionality of Windows so I have my laptop screen and a second 19" monitor which i find incredibly useful as screen real estate is always at a premium. And this is where I believe the problem lies.
    I performed a simple test and have repeated this test with identical outcomes everytime. Here is what I did. I fired up Captivate and Outlook and opened up a new mail window in Outlook. I then set Captivate to record the new mail window and hit record. I typed some text into the To field and the Subject field and then stopped the recording. I then previewed the results. When the new mail window was on my primary screen, (i.e the laptop) the Text Entry Box recording worked 100% fine. However, if the new mail screen was residing on my secondary screen, i.e. the monitor, the Text Entry Box recording failed!
    So it would seem that Captivate 4 has an issue with seeing the text entered on a secondary monitor when Windows is running in Extended Desktop mode. I am absolutely certain this wasn't an issue with Captivate 3 as I created plenty of content without any of these problems and I was using the Extended Desktop back then.
    So, if anyone else is having the same issue, and you are running an Extended Desktop, try what I did above.
    In the meantime, I am raising this issue with Adobe in the hope they can get this fixed, but at least now I can carry on with my content creation
    Regards,
    Rob.

  • 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

    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?

  • Text entry box not funtioning

    Does anyone know if project a project size affects the functionality of text box entry.
    We have a project with 377 slides and for some reason, certain text entry boxes are not funtioning.
    when we break the project down to smaller pieces, the functionality is restored.
    is there some type of size limit for project/ text box funtionality?

    Hi there
    Project size affects lots of things. You should consider yourself lucky that you haven't seen corruption and loss of data with that many slides!
    Captivate 5 should change this limit, but versions 4 and earlier should adhere to a typical guideline of 50-65 slides. Sometimes you can get away with as many as 100-150, but it depends on many factors such as number of objects, how much audio is present, project resolution, etc.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Text Entry Box not showing all text

    I am creating a simple exercise where I would like the user to copy text from the course, paste it into word, and report back what the word count is.  I thought perhaps the Text Entry Box would be the best way to go, since if you click on the existing (default) text, you can copy it.  However after I place the paragraph of text in the box, and resize in the editor so that all the text shows, it does not show all the text when playing back, either previewd or published.  It only shows the last few words of the last line at the top of the box.
    Is there something I am missing?  Or, is there an easier/better way to do what I need?
    Thanks

    Hi all
    If this is Captivate 4, there may not be any need for a widget to do this. I'm guessing you haven't tried enabling the Scroll Bar for the Text Entry Box (TEB)?
    When I just plop a TEB on a slide, I get this in edit view:
    During playback it looks like this:
    But if I edit the TEB properties and enable the Show Scrollbar option:
    I get this in the output:
