Renaming a Quizmaker file
Jul 13, 2011
Here's the scenario:
I have several previously-created QM quizzes that I am re-tasking for a new project. I copied the old Quiz file to a new folder, and renamed the file. I then made the needed modifcations to the quiz, including changing the quiz title under quiz properties.
I republished in SCORM 1.2, and posted to the LMS.
The LMS settings require that the quiz open in a new browser window. Everything works fine... except that the OLD QM file name (i.e., "Old_quiz_name.quiz") shows up in the title bar of the browser window.
I don't see how this happens, since the Quiz file has been renamed. I also tried opening the quizz ans "saving as" a new file name, but that didn't help either.
Any ideas from the group?
Thanks,
Dave

In the publish window, in the LMS tab, click Reporting and Tracking in the Output options. It is probably still listed there as the "Old..." name. Update the names in this window and all should be good.
If you dont want to republish you should be able to edit these in the manifest xml

Dwayne, Phil.... thanks for the info. That's exactly what the issue was. (If it had been a snake, it woulda had me.)
Thanks!

Dave,
How did you manage to change the quiz title in quiz properties?
I need to rename one of my quiz titles and can't seem to find the option to do that from the properties menu.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!
Thanks

Ian,
The only way I could figure out how to do this was to rename the file and re-import it into my presentation (course).
Good Luck and if you have discovered another way to do this, please let me know.

I have the same issue. I need to rename an existing quiz and I am unable to. I have tried the above steps and I am unable to get it to update. Please advise. I can send screen shots if necessary. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Terry,
Looks like this thread is a little bit older, I'm not sure if everyone in this discussion is still subscribed to the thread.
Can you tell us a little more about what's happening for you, please? Is the old name displaying for you before and after you upload to your web server or LMS?
Which version of Quizmaker are you currently using, '09 or '13?
If you're able to share the file here, that may also help. If it happens with just the quiz itself, and the file isn't loo large, you can attach the .QUIZ file to a response through this thread.
Thanks!
Hi,
Dwayne's method is easy for everyone. I did this process whenever the quiz file name needs to be changed.
I also have this problem now

Hi there, Reiner! We're ready to help. We just need a little more information from you. It sounds like you might be using Quizmaker 360. Correct me if I'm wrong!
