Error Message in LMS When Prompt to Resume Selected

Aug 30, 2013

Hi All,

So this problem has been happening for weeks and I can't seem to figure it out.  I support an LMS (SuccessFactors v 6.39) for a government client.  We are beginning to get more and more content developed in Articulate and sent to us for upload.  After a week or so of testing, we have identified that the issue lies in the "Prompt to Resume" function.  If that box is checked we receive an error message upon relaunch. 

The error message only occurs once the item is moved over to the "completed work" section of the LMS.  The LMS error message is pasted below:

Hi Peter and welcome to Heroes!

Sorry that this post got missed, but I wanted to point you to this blog post about troubleshooting with an LMS. Almost half way down is a section on prompt to resume, and how it is handled in different LMS's. If after trying out those troubleshooting steps, you'd like to share the error message above with our Support team, please package your Presenter files and upload them here.
