I'd like to know how to tell Articulate where to go once it's done with a random draw from a question bank. How can it go to the "Next" slide if all the questions slides are randomly selected? I have a result slide set up, but it's not going to it.
Hi, I think this may answer my question as well, but want to make sure... I have a scene with 23 question banks and then my results slide is in a separate scene. If I select each question in QB23 and say "jump to next scene" in the list of triggers, will that solve my issue?
I guess I don't understand how that will help... the last question from the last bank is still random. How do I make them go to the results slide (even once it's in the same scene?)
the triggers on the correct and incorrect layers of the Green Flags (last QB) are 'unassigned' that seems to be the issue. I updated them to go to the 'RESULTS' scene and did the test and the results are recorded.
So just to clarify, every question in the "last" bank in the scene needs to have the triggers to go to the Results scene from the feedback layers? Also, thanks for your help!
I tested this as well and noted that the results slide no longer had the linking trigger in Story view you'll see it in comparison to this set up here:
Your original is on the left, and one newly created is on the right. That trigger can be deleted pretty easily by accident if your right click on the arrow in between linking them.
I tried importing your course into a new .story file to see if it would recreate the trigger and that worked, except upon preview and publish the file gets to the last question and then the loading icon/wheel spinner appears and it gets stuck.
Can you tell me a bit more about how you created this course, i.e. Storyline version, working from local project files vs. a network/shared drive? It looks like you may need to recreate that section in a new .story file to resolve the behavior.
I've seen that occur when folks aren't using the built in navigation buttons, and have set up master slides with the trigger. In that scenario, the question bank slides are not entirely sure what is the next slide/scene to jump to. Does that match your set up? You could always put in a final blank slide in your question bank (lock it to the end) and set a trigger on that slide to automatically jump to slide X upon timeline start.
I can't attach my story due to NDA agreements, but here's the gist: I'm making an exam with two question banks. If the user fails the first exam (version A), then the Failure layer of the Results slide has a link to the second exam (version B). Because those who pass version A aren't required to take version B, I removed the Prev & Next buttons from the Results slide. Both exams are 40 questions each.
Problem is, when I test in Preview, the 39th question becomes stuck, and won't advance to the next question. If I restore the Prev & Next buttons to the Results slide, the exam works fine. I tried your suggestion of inserting a locked blank slide as the last question, but I'm still getting the same bug. It's not even getting to the final blank slide.
Maybe I can hide the Prev & Next buttons? I'll see if that's possible.
Couldn't find a way to hide them, so I set their "Jump to Slide" triggers to "unassigned." It's not elegant, but it'll do till I find something better.
Glad you were able to find something that works for you. If you decide you need us to take a look, you can always work with our support team privately and an NDA can be signed if needed.
The point is that Submit button has an in-built trigger to jump to the Next slide. So, you do not need additional trigger to jump to the Result slide if your Result slide is the slide next to the slide where you have drawn after your Question Bank.
However, one of the probable mistake can be adding multiple Result slides during development and then deleting all but one for finalizing your module. Every Result slide comes with a set of 4 triggers.
Just check that in your final version you are only using variable: Result.xyz and not Result1.xyz/Result2.xyz
This is mainly from the purview where the question slides do not have feedback involved.
I'm having a similar issue with the last question in my question bank not advancing to the results slide. I've tried inserting a blank slide and also changing the trigger to go directly to the results slide. I've even deleted and recreated all the question bank slides. Nothing seems to fix the problem.

I'm sorry if this seems dense. Where is this trigger? The question bank isn't a normal slide where I can put triggers...
Hi Marie-Jo
If you have a question bank setup just add a result slide.
On the result slide select the QB to be included and the following will display

Hi Nancy! I'm not sure I'm following your question. You put a results slide for this question bank in a new scene?
Have you tried the solution to see if that works for you? Sounds like it may with your set-up.
Please feel free to share your .story file if you need further assistance so I can better understand.
The scene contains several banks.
Could you move your result slide into the same scene? This would alleviate the issue you are seeing.
Hi Leslie,
I guess I don't understand how that will help... the last question from the last bank is still random. How do I make them go to the results slide (even once it's in the same scene?)
Hi Nancy
the triggers on the correct and incorrect layers of the Green Flags (last QB) are 'unassigned' that seems to be the issue. I updated them to go to the 'RESULTS' scene and did the test and the results are recorded.
See attached updated file

Thanks for popping in to assist Wendy :) Looks like just what Nancy was looking for.
Yes, Nancy - both questions :)
Many thanks to you both!
How do I delete the .story file - I'd rather it not sit on the forum...
You should be able to click 'Edit' and delete the file attachment. Then you may want to ask Wendy to do the same.
Wendy, again, thank you for your help. Would you please remove the file?
Hi Nancy
I delete the files from my PC as soon as I upload to the to the forum and I've removed the one above in the post - good luck with your project!
Hi, are you able to assist....believe I am having the same problem & the Question Bank is not being validated & moving to the results.
I believe I am missing a trigger & tried to add & didn't work....please help....thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue.
I am wondering if it is because I don't have the stock next/previous buttons on my slides? Or perhaps as I am using freeform pick one questions?
I have recreated the results slide with no effect.

Hey there, Debra!
Thanks for sending your course over to our Support team. Lo and behold, you and Gerald found a file-specific fix!
Simply recreate the affected results slide that generated a new set of results variables, and you'll be good to go!
