Query text Form

Hi all

I wonder if I can get help within the next few hrs, I'm really in an indeed need to your support.

Thanks again

i would use a google docs form embedded as a web object to achieve this

thanks Phil, but can i easily import this document inside the articulate?

Yes, you build your for in google docs, then choose insert web object and give it the url for your page, storyline does everything else.

This way you can change your form without having to republish, and all the data is captured in your google doc, also you can download into excel if you want

Thanks again Phil, I'll give it a try. New mission : Build google doc

It seems I need further help. I successfully created the document and used insert web object and gave it the url of the page,but doesn't it work I get the below message, and in the publish mode i dot white empty screen. Also how to submit this form to any other mail rather than gmail and how can I reset it??

Sorry, you need to set it to share so anyone can view it.

On the docs page check the box and then choose the share menu

Sorry Phil for bothering u, I already shared it. I can enter text in the editing mode of articulate, but when i published the project i got nothing also in the preview mode. Please I attached this part of the project if you can help.

And still I'm wondering can we submit this form to any other mail rather than gmail and how can I reset it??

Hi Rose,

See if this tutorial helps. Let us know...

Thanks!

really wont submit to another email, it is google docs after all.  I wouild check out the tutorial the sharing is an issue with the document not the story file.  Make sure you are embedding the form and not the document

thank you Peter, the tutorial is very clear. I already created the form in articulate, but the major problem I faced was with the drop down lists. It was ok for a list with only 2 or 3 options, but for a list with 200 country to select from is impossible, because I've to create a separate layer for each country an add triggers for each. can i find another solution for this? I already have VBA with countries drop down list can I use it inside articulate slide?

Thank you again Phil

Hi guys exactly what I wanted. Is there a way to upload files too? Either via Google docs (can't find the feature) or directly from ST?

Hi Gustaf,

I'm not sure that everyone is subscribed to this thread (You may want to PM them), but I'm not sure what you mean about upload files via Google docs? Are you looking for the completion of a Google docs form to also include an area to insert a file as well? 

Hi Ashley.

I have students that want to upload videos to their teacher. Is there a mailto-way or other way the can do it directly from Storyline?

I mentioned Google Docs as it solved my other problems with students writing to their teacher directly from ST.

Hi Gustaf,

You can add an email trigger that will open a new email message, but you'll want to be aware that there are certain requirements that must be met by each user’s computer for the trigger to function properly:

• The user must have an email client installed (for example, Microsoft Outlook), and they must have an account configured in the program.
• The email client program must allow JavaScripts and HTML submits. Some programs, like Lotus Notes and Groupwise, do not allow these features.  Therefore, they will not work.

Also, you'll need to place an email within the trigger as shown - so it would be specific per teacher.  Are the student's uploading their videos anywhere else, such as Schooltube.com? You could then instruct them to place a hyperlink to the video within your Google form.
