Importing question banks from another story

I'm sure you've already seen this tutorial, which mentions that it is possible to import question banks just like any other content.  You may want to submit a case if it isn't working properly...

Thanks for responding, Brian.

I've seen that tutorial, and the other associated ones. Here's the thing that's got me scratching my head:

"Question banks are file-specific, meaning they only pertain to the story in which they're located.  However, like any other slides in your story, question bank slides can be imported into a different story if you want to reuse them."

Here it talks about importing question bank slides into another story, but not the question banks themselves. When I tried going ahead and importing the slides themselves, the associated questions didn't come along for the ride.

Can anyone pass along the specific steps for moving the banks themselves between projects, or is this not possible?

Thanks!

Hello Allan, Hello Brian,

I am facing the same problem...I worked yesterday on story files that had two question banks...

When opening my files now I cannot see any of my Question Banks anymore....

...this is a big pb for me as I do not wish and won t have time to recreate this 2 questions banks..how come I can see them on another licence&computer and not on my computer anymore?

should I submit a case?

Heeeeelp thank you!

Hi, Julie.

I had submitted a case to Articulate support, and neglected to post their response here. This worked for me:

Hi Allan,

You might find the steps below interesting.

First, please make sure that you have the updated version of Storyline (V1.1.1208.1316).

Then follow the steps below:

1) Create a new Storyline file

2) Click the Articulate button > Import > Storyline

3) Select the .story file that has the Question Bank

4) From the Insert Slides window, don't select the ordinary slides anymore. Look for the questions under the Question Bank section and select all the questions.

5) At the bottom left corner of that window, "Insert into scene" should be "Same as imported project".

6) Click the Import button

You might not see any change in your Scene or Slide but if you check your Question Banks from the menu above, you will notice that the Question Bank from the other story file is added.

Can you confirm if you were able to do this also?

I hope this helps.

Thank you for your quick answer..

unfortunately, I cannot perform the step 4....main one ...

When I select the "draw from question bank x", I dont see the questions under...

...might have to submit a case...

thanks again

This one kind of threw me at first. I had tried importing the'Draw from Question Bank' slide, which I had labeled 'Quiz', instead of importing the quiz slides themselves. The questions in my story were at the very end, so I had to look at the very bottom of the slides displayed in the ‘Insert Slides’ window. I’m attaching a screen shot from one of mine (the slides labeled 'Lane position' are the quiz slides).

Try going into the original project and looking at the titles of the question slides, then you know what you’ll be looking for when you do the import. It’s worth figuring this out. Being able to do this saved me a huge amount of time recreating the questions.

Let us know if this works for you, Julie.

mm ok ...thank you so much for your answer..

i think I will open a new conversation...

my problem might come from the IT team that have provided me with a new computer and re installed SL....and even in my source first .story file ...I see the Quiz slide but I dont have nothing left in my question bank.....so in the original project....

buuuuu........I will not give up!

Thank you Allan!
