publishing a presenter course reporting scorm2004

Eric,

Try changing the Identifier under the 'LMS Less SCORM Information'. This should update the identifier in the imsmanifest.xml file when published.

In regard to "the identifier automatically changes back to the course title", I am unable to reproduce this. Is your project file on your local drive C:? Having the file on a network while publishing or editing can cause odd behavior.Try resaving this file using the Save As option from PowerPoint, and choose a location on your local drive.

Note: If you are experiencing unexpected issues using Articulate software one thing to check is to make sure you are working on you local drive (this is typically your C: drive).

Make sure you have the latest Articulate Studio '09 update.

Thanks David,

We do not have access to our c drives we have a section on the servers to save all files to.  I tried saving the file to a flash drive and had the same issue.  I looked and made sure I have the latest version and I do.  I have no idea what else to do. 

I can't duplicate this either. I would ask someone if they can give you temporary access to a location on your C: drive so you can test the content locally. If it works there then there are restrictive permissions on your account that is not allowing you to write properly to your network drive.

it seems to be happening when i added a quiz or an engage interaction.  when it is just the PPT it works fine and i tried it from my c drive

i went inot the reporting and tracking window and changed the identifiers  then clicked ok.  then i went back into it again and it changed. 

If you have a specific presentation you can consistently duplicate this issue with, can you send us the project files by following the steps outlined here:

Let me know what the case number is and I'll make sure to check it out.

Eric,

Just as Justin was replying to this post I was able to reproduce the issue as you have noted. It does appear to happen when a quiz or interaction has been added. I'm looking into why we generate the identifier from the title. I'll post back when I get more detail.

Thanks, Dave!

Dave, thanks i thought i was going crazy. 

If you use Notepad, you could possible manually edit the imsmanifest.xml file but let's see what Burton has to say.

i hope i dont have to manually do it.  This maybe happening on over 20 courses.

Eric,

We apologize for the inconvenience. This issue has been submitted to our Quality assurance team. Currently, the only workaround is to modify the imsmanifest.xml file after publishing. This would have to be done only if you want an identifier that differs from the title.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thanks David,  i will need to make the change so in the LMS i have a code in the course code field and not the title.  how do i go about making this change in the Imsmanifest.xml?  will i have to do this everytime i republish the course, until there is a fix for it?

Eric,

If you have time, lets discuss this over a remote connection/call. I am sending you a private message now to connect.

Eric,

My apologies for confusing the issue. Although the LMS Course Information Identifier will revert and match the LMS Course Information Title upon opening the Reporting Tab, if you make the Reporting change and then Publish, this information does get published correctly in the imsmanifest.xml file. Just make sure all changes are made in the Reporting Tab just before publishing.

Dave,

I just published a quiz (SCORM 2004) and made the two identifiers as codes the top one was WL_NA_Adj_KA and the second identifier as WL_NA_Adj_KA_SCO

i opened the imsmanifest file and here is what it is in the file. the organization identifier should be WL_NA_Adj_KA

organizations default="WL_New_Agent_Adjustments_Knowledge_Assessment_ORG">
    <organization identifier="WL_New_Agent_Adjustments_Knowledge_Assessment_ORG" adlseq:objectivesGlobalToSystem="false">
      WL New Agent Adjustments Knowledge Assessment
     
        WL New Agent Adjustments Knowledge Assessment
       

I am having this same issue with two separate courses. I don't want to have to manually update the manifest every time I publish a course. Has a resolution been found or this issue yet--other than manually changing the manifest every time? Thanks.

Dawn,  I have not heard of any resolutions.  I end up going into all of our courses after we publish them and make the change in the manifest file. 

Bummer! Thanks for responding so quickly.
