Print results - want to hide the 'correct answers' column

Thanks guys, I've been fiddling with that report.xml file for a while but I'm honestly hopeless with code. If I'm honest, I'm not even sure what type of script it is.

I think I need someone to sit with me and patiently take me through it step by step...

Hi Miriam

can you upload the report.xml file for your story and I'll see if I can help you - no promises ;-)

Wow, thanks Wendy!

You know I just realised it's actually a .html file. But there's no report.xml. There is a frame.xml... is this right?

No you're right it is the .html file...I've been working with other clients on their .xml files - sorry to confuse you.

Whew, that's okay. I wouldn't have a clue...

Actually! Don't look at that one, look at this one!

I think I gave you the one I'd (unsuccessfully) edited.

Hey, thanks Matthew, it does remove all the content from the 'Correct Answer' column, but the column doesn't disappear - what I really want to do is eliminate that column entirely!

I actually want to pare it right back so that all that can be seen is the question and the student's answer.

I'm going to consult with a programmer friend of mine... hopefully he'll take one look at it and go "oh yes of course".

The passing score and the result columns with content you want removed

Try this : Find the first two instances from the top of the script of g_strPassingScore and g_strResult1 and remove those lines. Save and check it out - might need to reformat - good luck

Hi, Miriam -- So glad to see that Wendy and Matthew are helping you out here! I just wanted to stop in to share that althought we do not support modifications to the published output, here is our JavaScript Best Practices sheet. :)

Hey folks,

Just letting you know I consulted my web developer friend and he suggested a minor change to the logic in the code which is kind of sneaky but works perfectly. So in all places where it reads

!g_oPrintOptions.bSurvey

I removed the !. (There are 10 instances.)

What the code originally said was: when the results displayed are for a survey (i.e. non graded items), don't show me the right answer/score/student result.

Instead, it now says: when the results are NOT for a survey, don't show me those things. 

So now it's hiding all the columns and data I don't want!

This has been a learning experience! Thanks so much everyone!

Oooh, cheers Christie, that'll come in handy - I have a lot to learn.

Oooh thanks, that's a project! We always said the current report is pretty plain and dull and it would be nice to adjust it a little, maybe even add a logo. I'll keep this one on the backburner.

EDIT: Whoops, meant to say the report.html file is attached. Quick switcheroo did the trick in the end! Removed the ! from g_oPrintOptions.bSurvey, so that it now hides those columns even if the results AREN'T for a survey. It means there's extraneous code in there, but at least it's a very quick and repeatable change to make.

Thanks for the update Miriam and hang on to your developer mate ;) he's a keeper!

He sure is! I made him dinner.

Thanks for sharing Miriam :)

Fantastic, Miriam -- we appreciate the follow-up! :)

Revisiting this issue for hiding the correct answers on "print results".. I'm using Storyline 360, but don't see any report files (xml or html). I do see a slide in story\slides\*.xml that has custom properties for describing PrintQuizResultsSL actions.  However, this appears to be custom arguments that is not documented online.

How can Storyline 360 users hide the correct answers or modify the "print results" report?

Thanks!

Hello TZ! This thread is a bit dated, but I can assist you with the information for Storyline 360. In your result slide options, be sure that you have not selected to allow the user to see the correct/incorrect responses and this should take care of it for you :)

Hi all,

A very old post being brought back to life...is there a way to remove all of the question specific tables? Literally just have the top table on the results? I've added a screen to help.

Thanks

James

Hi James,

If you remove the option to allow the user to see the correct/incorrect responses, this will control the output on your printed results as well.

In addition, you can check out the documentation here if you'd like to further customize.

Hi Leslie,

Is this in Storyline 360 - I've never seen the option to allow the user to see the correct/incorrect responses - also I can't see a results.html or report.html file in the story_content output folder.

Thanks
James

Hey James! Thanks for letting us know you're using Storyline 360! In that case, there isn't a way to hide the correct/incorrect responses on the Print Results page. 

However, as Leslie mentioned, you can try editing the report.html file. Here's a screenshot of where you can find that file in your published output folder:

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for clarifying - it looks like the report.html does not pull through when publishing to Articulate 360. I found the file when publishing to LMS.

Thanks again.

Hi Leslie, I came across this trying to solve the same problem as well.
We do not want the responses for the questions to show on the review. They have a retry attempt and we use this exam for a promotion. Plus we do not want them sharing answers with others.

- I cannot seem to locate the setting you are referring to in the print results button. It seems to be a feature for the Review Button only. Also, changing the setting on the review button is not changing what shows for the printed results.

- How can we eliminate the questions showing on the print results slide?
(We only need their name and the final score compared to passing score.)

Based on previous posts from years ago in this thread, I was trying to find the 'report.html' file. However, I am unable to locate it to try this instead.

Thanks in advance!
