Until we can afford an LMS or the use of Articulate's, I'd like to have Storyline generate a "unique" code number that the student will get at the end of a course. I'd ask the student to put that unique code on our existing course completion form and sent that to HR. (I'm using the Completion certificate template, yes, but my students are often unable to print, and I'd like to get something else to verify completion.) I was thinking of having them enter their initials and have SL generate a code number that started and ended with the initials. I wouldn't need to actually know the codes but I'd recognize the format and be able to tell that the student had indeed reached that last frame. Ideas?
You could use a simple Javscript function to generate a random number, pass it back into Storyline and then display the initials before and after the number. Here s a rough example. You'll find a sample JavaScript function to generate a number at the bottom of this post.
Michael, Thanks very much, and I really mean it. But I have to say... this is why I bought Storyline: because I simply can't write code and probably never will. If it doesn't come in a template it probably ain't happenin'. But I will look at your examples provided and see if I can get anywhere with it. Scripting makes my head explode.

Hi Nora, I feel your pain I don't want to complicate things, but here is one option that uses questions banks (rather than a JavaScript) to generate a (to a degree) random number.

Hi Nora, I feel your pain
Hi Nora,
Welcome to the Heroes community, and it looks like you've gotten some help from Michael already. You may also want to look at this thread by Lance where he used a question bank to do something similar.
