Anyway to add question attempt count to report

Jan 12, 2014

We are building some modules offline to send to clients in remote locations. Students can attempt all questions as many times as they like until correct to move. Is there any way at all to display the attempt count of each question in the print results report?

While messing around with the javascript in an online build I was able to track this information but it seems to be absent in an offline build. Is there anyway to get that information or is it a feature that will be added in the near future?

Hi Justin and welcome to Heroes!

My suggestion would have hinged on a javascript to report it to your printable results. I guess though, you could set up a variable for each question slide that is added to by one after each click on the "try again" continue button, and then set up a question (hidden) that reports the value of that variable (similar to this method) but that would be a  number of extra questions to see on your printed report. 

If you'd like to see it as a new feature I'd suggest you share the thoughts with our development team by submitting a feature request.

Thanks for that, I ended up writing some scripts and used the survey data suggestion from your link. I have a survey question hidden that stores the amount of attempts for each question separated by a comma. It's quite possibly some of the hackiest javascript I've written but it displays them in the report at the end. 

Thanks again!
