I created a question bank of 30 mixed question types. I tried to draw 10 random questions for a new scene. I selected my question bank, check the random question draw box choose to have 10 questions included. when I click insert, I get a slide with all 30 questions in the exact order of my question bank. What am I missing?
When you insert a slide with the question bank, all of the questions will appear. The random draw will happen when previewing and publishing. If you are seeing all 30 questions when you preview or publish, please let us know.
Im having the same issue. I am drawing 5 random questions from a bank of 15. Each time in Preview and Publish it will ask all 15 questions. I dont know what Im doing wrong, please help, Thanks!
if you have the questions in the quiz bank which you do, you don't also need to have them in the module - this is why it is showing you all 15 in preview.
Create a new scene and cut and paste all the individual quiz questions from the current scene and drop them into the new scene (it will just sit off to the side and won't be included in your project so long as you don't link / navigate to that scene or the slides in that scene) ot if you're brave you can delete them. (make a file backup before you do just in case) ;-).
So your slides will run Quiz Intro --> Draw from Question Bank --> Result slide. Then your Question bank settings to draw only 5 from 15 should kick in.
Hope that makes sense...shout out if you need more help.

Hello Craig,

Hi Damien
can you upload your .story file? Easier for someone to help if they can see your setup.
i cant Im sorry. Even the questions are confidential!
Can you screenshot the question bank options maybe - hard to say without seeing the file...
If you need to you can log a support ticket with Articulate and they can sign an NDA if you need them to.
Ok thanks Wendy, I will just make a couple of changes and upload. thank you! Damien
Hi Wendy I hope this can help you, help me! cheers Damien
Hi Damien
the draw setting looks correct.
Do you happen to have the 15 questions displaying in your story file as well as located in a question bank?
Hi Wendy Please see attached.
Hi Damien
Yes it looks like that is what is happening.
