Is there a way to set the course incompletable in articulate? So that the admin individually set the status to complete on LMS. Looking forward to your response.
Yes, you can do this easily enough. Add a new scene that isn't connected with any of the actual content and then set the tracking to all slides must be viewed to be marked as complete. It will come up on the LMS as incomplete. Then the LMS administrator can manually mark the course as complete (as long as the LMS has that functionality, which most do).
Do you think having a scene with just one slide and setting the next button action to restart course will keep the person in the loop and never complete or show incomplete status? I don't know if it makes sense, was just doing random brainstorming. :P
You could do that, but as far as the LMS is concerned, if you have started a course and exited it - either by just closing the course window or clicking on the finish button - before meeting the completion criteria, it's status will be incomplete. So it will have the same result.
At some point the person will just close the course, forcing the status to be recorded by the LMS based on what they have done.
There may be a way to publish a course that never passes a completion status to the LMS, but I haven't come across it.
You can attach the complete course trigger to a button and place the button outside of a slide. Then on the tracking option, when you go to publish, select Track using a complete course trigger.
I've attached a couple of screen shots to show how this works.
So, I just tested it and it works, Having the complete button outside is the easiest. Gonna stick with that. And my idea with the restart button doesn't work as it shows completed as all the slides were gone through. The scene which is not connected to the content works well too.

Thank you. I'll test it out and let you know how it went . Thank you for your time . :)

Or just set it to track by a complete trigger and make it that the conditions for the trigger to fire are no achievable
Yes, if you have Articulate 360 that's a good option. Sadly not available on SL3, but maybe in a future update :-)
Will check this out as well. :) Thank you.
Can one of you please show how to set the trigger condition as no achievable? I'm using articulate 360.
Create a T/F variable call "never"
Add a complete trigger:
Complete course when variable changes never
Then publish your course and track by complete trigger
You can attach the complete course trigger to a button and place the button outside of a slide. Then on the tracking option, when you go to publish, select Track using a complete course trigger.

Awesome! Thank you Phil and Noel. :) I really appreciate it.

Thank you again. Cheers. :)
