I am working on a quiz and have set the restriction to only allow the users to leave the quiz once they have answered all of the questions. When the user tries to exit the quiz before answering all the questions, there is a pop up box that appears. At the moment, the text in the box is missing and just has "Ok". I would like to add some text, for example, "You must answer all questions before exiting the quiz". I have seen this before, but cannot now find the setting. Any suggestions please?
Hi Vicky - open up your PowerPoint presentation and on the Articulate menu, select Player Templates > Text Labels. Sounds like the items you want to check are items 32 and 33.
Hi Jeanette, thank you for your very quick response. Is 32 & 33 definitely the right options? I notice those boxes currently have text in under text labels, yet the pop up is blank when it appears in the quiz.. The pop up appears, if you are in a quiz and you click on the next button before answering.
OK, thanks for clarifying. Are there any other blank items in the Custom Text column? In particular, items 24 through 35 all contain navigation messages that Presenter & Quizmaker might be trying to display, depending on the settings you've chosen within your course.
Hi Phil, thanks very much for your reply. That is possible, but unfortunately I didn't edit the template. Would that be an option under the presenter or quizmaker options? Thanks.
Hi Jeanette, it looks like it should be 35, could it be that the text colour has been altered? (unfortunately, I didn't create the template for it). Would you know where I can look to change the font colour for 35? Thanks.
Hmm. Re: text color on pop-up navigation messages, that's not something that's modifiable within the Presenter color scheme editor...however, here are a couple more items to check.
When you click Player Templates on the Articulate menu, and the box below appears, what template name do you see at the bottom? Is it the same player template you chose on the publish window when you published the course? If not, switch to the template you used for publishing, and see if there are blank items in that list.
If that doesn't help, another thing to check: in your published quiz, does the message appear when you click the forward button on the course's player controls (i.e., the play/pause/forward/back buttons Or does it actually appear when you're taking a quiz and you try to hit the Submit button without answering the current question? If it's the latter, then the message is coming from within Quizmaker. Try opening up your quiz In Quizmaker, and click Player Templates > Edit > Text Labels; then scroll down to items 31 & 32.
I had the same issue a couple of months ago. Make sure your anti-virus (mine was Kapersky) is turned off. That may resolve the issue.
Really? Have you had Kaspersky interfere with any other Articulate functions? I only ask because I'm running KIS 2010 and do encounter Articulate weirdness time to time. Sure, most times it's user error - but other times it just doesn't make sense.

Hi Vicky
Have you changed the quizmaker colours? I think you may have changed the font colour so it is the same as the popup box

Thanks for all your help everyone. The text was label 33 in Player Templates. Many thanks.
Thank you Jeanette. It was text label 33 in Player Templates. Thanks again.
Great! Glad to hear you're all set now. Thanks for letting us know!

That was really the only issue I had... occasional text disappearing, sometimes due to changing colours, other times for no discernible reason.
As soon as I shut it off, no issues at all. And it was only with Quizmaker. No other Articulate products.
