Next button in completed quiz
Nov 06, 2013

Hi All,
I have a quiz in my course which uses the standard submit button - and when the quiz has been completed successfully this submit button changes to a next button (built in freeform questions).
My question is - how do I know which slide that next button will jump to as I believed it would jump to the next slide i.e 1.1 jumps to 1.2 however, during testing I have been informed that people are being sent to the slide immediately before the quiz. I've looked at the slides and can't see why that would happen (will need to do some testing of my own).
Has anyone got any ideas?
Thank you

Hi Harri! You can verify that the navigation is set up correctly, verify that the slides are in the order you expect them to be in the menu, and be sure that there are no other triggers or settings in the slide properties that would cause different behavior.
Is it happening to all of the users?
Hi Leslie,
I've check the slide sequencing and numbering and there are no other conflicting triggers.
I've only had one user in the UAT group report it as an issue but as far as I'm aware they were the only one to review the quiz after completing it successfully.
I'm going to do some testing on the lms and will let you know if I find any consistency.
Sounds great Harri, thanks for the update
Ok so... looks like somewhere between saved versions a few of my slides have renumbered (although all of the slide triggers are assigned correctly)
Might be a dumb question but....
How do I renumber the slides?/ put them back into the correct sequence?
Thank you
Hi Harri!
Is your actual project in the order that you want though?
From within the Player, you can use the button at the very bottom of the Menu tab to reset the menu from the Story.
Hi Leslie,
I've checked that and I've also reset and reorganised the menu.
Is there any way to manually change the slide numbers?
Hi Harri! You can check out this thread and all of the ways users accomplished their goals.
Hi Harri,
Just wanted you to know (in case you're feeling a bit crazed) that something like this recently happened to me in a project. I've just now looked at the thread provided by Leslie (tx, Leslie) and the thread that's linked to that one. What I had done, copy/paste the slides into a new story, being sure to paste them in the correct order, seems to be what others in these threads have done (some simply used a new scene in the original story, but for other reasons I couldn't do that).
I'm wondering if this is a situation where we should make a feature request. Here's what was weird about my situation.
We were NOT showing the next button on our slides, which for this scene were all quiz questions. When I clicked the Review quiz button, one of the quiz slides was always skipped, even though it had been answered during the quiz question process, and was in the correct order on the menu. This quiz slide had the "wrong" (out of order) slide number.
IF I turned the next button on and linked the slide manually to "the next slide,", the review worked correctly and included this "incorrectly numbered" slide. But as soon as I turned the next button off, the "bad" slide was skipped.
The bad part was the C/P into a new story broke the trigger for the continue buttons on the correct/incorrect layers, so I had to manually redo these (the navigation was set up so Learners could take any quiz question in any order). Otherwise, everything worked and now Reviewing worked as well. The good part was there weren't that many slides.
The reason I'm telling SUCH a long story is that, because I wasn't using the Next button, there seemed to be no way to fix this (I probably could have added a variable, but I had so many going on in this already complex story that I wanted to avoid that).
And so, Articulate, is this something that could be addressed in a feature request? Or is the slide numbering NOT something that can be changed? Please note: like Harri, I'm not referring to the slide sequence/slide order, I'm referring to the slide numbers themselves.
Good luck, Harri. Please post what you come up with for a solution.
Yes, Becky, please submit that as a feature request.
Will do, Leslie. too bad I deleted the file where this wasn't working. But I'll note this thread in my request...and the others.
Thanks, as always, Becky
Hi Becky,
Thank you for the suggestions - I'll have a look and see if I can get my slides to behave again
I do find it frustrating that you cannot manually alter the slide numbers (or at least not to my knowledge) as this is not the first time that my slides have become jumbled but it's the first time it's posed a real problem.
Thanks again for your help
Harri
Thanks for the update Harri
