Attachments in Presenter
Apr 18, 2013

I attached a resource document to a .ppta file. When published, to either AICC or SCORM 1.2, I have issues with the attachment.
In SCORM 1.2, the attachment opens in a new window, which is fine, but the course falls back to the link to it in the original window. I have to click the link again, and go through the message about "would I like to start where I left off?" Is there a setting in Presenter which would help me avoid this looping behavior when I open an attachment?
In AICC, the attachment did not appear at all. Also, the course did not size properly.
Which of these problems can I remedy through a setting in Presenter, and which are related to the LMS?
Thanks very much!

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Hilary!
Are you viewing the presentation in the LMS when testing this? If not, please try uploading the course first and see if you experience the same behavior when you try to open the attachment.
Also, have you tested your course in SCORM Cloud? This would help us determine if the issue is Articulate related or if it's on your LMS's side. If you're using AICC content please take a look at the article below for testing information:
Articulate Support - Testing AICC content at SCORM Cloud
If it appears in SCORM Cloud as well, we'd be happy to take a closer look at what might be going on.
If you can't replicate the issue in SCORM Cloud, it's probably an issue that you'd want to take to your LMS team.
The articles here and here may also help clear up common LMS issues.
Let us know how it turns out.
Thanks!

Hi Christine,
Thank you SO much for giving me some avenues to try again.
I did upload the course to the LMS - this is where the problem is occuring. I will read the article.
I am constrained to use IE 7. This is an enterprise environment. There is no acceptance of anything but IE. I viewed the course at home using Chrome and saw the described behavior.
You're a gem to be there when I need help!
I'll let you know what I turn up.
Thanks,
Hilary
You're very welcome, Hilary! :)
I cannot imagine being restricted to IE 7, but I do understand why some companies may wish to do so. I'm glad you're able to test the course at home, that will help with narrowing the issue down.
Let me know how it goes!
Thanks,
Christine
