Ability to Review *and* Retry a Drag and Drop
Jul 26, 2013

Greetings,
This seems like a very basic functionality, so I feel like I'm missing something. I have a simple Storyline quiz with a drag and drop slide. It's followed by a Review Slide, using the Storyline template. This template comes with Review Slide and Retry Slide buttons. Here's my issue:
If I set the DnD properties to "Resume Saved State" or "Automatically Decide", reviewing the quiz works great (items are where the student put them), but when they *RETRY* - nothing can move.
If I set the DnD properties to "Reset to Initial State", reviewing the quiz is pointless (all drag items reset), but they *CAN* now retry it.
I need to be able to do both. What am I missing?
Thanks,
Josh

Hey Josh! Thanks for joining the community, welcome to the forum! When using the Storyline quiz slide with the default results slide, the "review slide" and "retry slide" button should both function by default. Just leave the properties on the DnD slide base layer to "Automatically Decide" and make sure the correct Results slide is selected.
I've also attached a sample .story file with a drag and drop quiz, and results slide with "review quiz" and "retry quiz" functioning properly. Hope this helps! =)
Hi Josh and welcome to Heroes! It sounds to me like the quiz might have a limited number of attempts which could explain the disabled Retry Quiz button. If that is not the issue, feel free to attach the file here or submit a case so we can help you out.
Hi all. My apologies, I left out the most important part of this and what took me a while to notice was broken. The template DnD and Review/Retry DO work, both in the Storyline authoring environment and with Flash. However, for this specific project, Flash is not supported and I'm therefore launching the story_html5.html file directly. In this HTML5 implementation, the functionality breaks.
Hi Josh.
Could you attach your .STORY file here so we can take a look? If it is too large or you don't want to share here, feel free to submit a case and let me know what the case number is and I'll check it out.
Here it is. There's an instructions slide, the DnD, and then the results slide.
Any other ideas to try?
Hi Josh! I was not able to re-create the issue that you are stating you are having, so it must be something on the computer that you are using. I went ahead and filed a case on your behalf so that support could work with you and you should be hearing from them soon. I am going to follow along in the progress as well (case #00347630).
Thanks so much and have a great day!
Just wanted to update the community. Looks like Josh has found an issue that our QA Team would like to further investigate.
Hi All,
I'm having the same issue - has this been resolved?
Hi Zsuzanna,
Thanks for chiming in! This post is regarding Storyline 1--what version of Storyline are you using? Can you tell me more about what's happening in your file?
Hi Alyssa, thanks for the quick reply. I am using 360, but have a similar problem. I let the students go back to the previous questions and change their answers as they complete the quiz. If I set slide properties to "reset to initial state", they can go back and change their answers just fine, but review doesn't work (which makes sense). However, if I set it to "resume saved state", then the freeform DnD and Pick One (possibly Pick Many, I just don't have that in my quiz at the moment) answers cannot be changed when returned to that slide. I would try to circumvent the Pick One issue by resetting the choice objects to normal state when students return to that slide, but with the freeform DnD I have no idea for a fix.
I think I found a solution to my problem - I submitted each question interaction when the student clicked "Next", and when I deleted all of these triggers, it seemingly fixed itself.
Hi Zsuzsanna,
If you delete the "submit" trigger, the slide will not be graded. Were you intending to grade that slide, or is it simply for an informal knowledge check?
Yeah, I would have assumed so - however, for some reason, it is still perfectly tracking the scores, shows the review slides right, and it seems like there is no problem with the reporting, either. I removed all individual slide submissions, but kept the "submit results" on start of the results slide - can that be the reason it works?

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying. I'm glad you found a solution that works for you!
