Clicking outside of a hotspot during quiz
Nov 04, 2013

I have created a course that discusses how/where to transfer calls. For the quiz, I created a mock phone and users decide where to transfer the call. Each option has a hotspot area so they can click on the text, or the button itself.
For some reason, users can actually click outside of the hotspot area, and when they do, they get the same result as if they chose an incorrect option.
Is there anyway to have the non-hotspot area be non-clickable? (Users seem to love pushing the other buttons!)
Thanks!!

Hi Renee,
I would switch from Hotspot to a Pick One interaction. This would allow you to define 3 separate clickable areas without the ability to click elsewhere. I would also suggest grouping the 2 objects together (the text box and button) and use the resulting group as the pick one object. See the attached to get an idea of what I mean. I added a selected state to each button to make things more interesting.
You could try using the "Pick one" template... that one gives you a single correct answer and won't let you submit until you've selected one of the three available responses.
You can find it under Quizzing > Freeform
Thank you thank you!!
I figured I missed something. I just picked the wrong freeform template from the begining. Is there an easy way to convert from hotspot to pick one without losing all of the data I added? As soon as I removed the freeform, it took away all my layers, triggers, and customized responses to each answer.
Hi Renee,
There is not an easy way to convert questions from one type to another, but you can always submit a feature request for that.
Renee,
I believe you can duplicate the layers you don't want to lose, and then remove the freeform template. That should preserve a copy of them. You can then reconnect those copied layers in the new interaction, or copy and paste the information over to the new feedback layers.
^^ Just tried it, and worked well.
Thanks Josh for sharing that solution here with Renee.
