I'm looking high and low and can't seem to find the email results option for Studio QM 13. Was it removed as a feature? If so, any new work arounds to support clients wanting to see results via email?
"We want every feature in our software to work well. Unfortunately, there’s no way to email results easily, accurately, and consistently. For example, if you use Gmail or your computer’s security settings are high, you can’t email results. Also, you run the risk of learners tampering with results since they can access the email before it’s sent. Given these limitations, we decided not to include the email results feature in our products anymore."
I'm not aware of any workarounds to include this type of functionality, but perhaps others have worked with this and found something that works for them. I'd be interested in hearing about it as well :)
In the meantime, if you would like to see this feature brought back to Studio, you're welcome to submit a feature request. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible. The more information and requests we receive, the better we can gauge the demand for the feature.
The quiz will be updated when it's pulled over to '13. So you can't work around it by pulling in an earlier quiz file.
However, if you already have the quiz uploaded to a web server, you could insert it as a web object. Keep in mind that this quiz won't be tracked through the presentation you use if you decide to try this. It will need to be tracked and hosted separately.
Just a thought, but maybe it will help :)
Have a happy holiday and good luck with the project, Nancy!
Well, I just submitted a feature request. I was using '09 at my prior job, and considering purchasing '13. I absolutely won't purchase '13 without this feature. It is essential to my business. I already contacted sales to try to purchase '09 instead. But, if I can't do that, I'll see if Captivate has this function.
You wouldn't remove a cigarette lighter from a car, because people weren't able to power their house from it; why not just hide the feature, so it's still available for those who can use it reliably?

Hi there Margaret,
That's correct. The email results feature is not available in Studio '13 products.
Here's more information:
'13 Doesn't Include an Email Results Feature

Can I import a QM quiz created in Studio '09 into a course created in Studio '13?

Ok, can you advise how to revert back to Studio '09 for this particular project. I have to have the results emailed...
Hi Nancy,
Just responded to your other post.
Thanks!

I'm really disappointed.
This was removed from captivate for the same reason, it is unreliable.
Sure, the inbuilt function was unreliable, but as seen here ( http://archives.articulate.com/forums/articulate-quizmaker/8169-articulate-09-email-results-tutorial-php.html ), the OPTION existed for someone tech-savvy to implement their own system that could be reliable.
