Printing, Saving and/or Emailing a Text Entry Field in Storyline

Hi Jenny,

I'm not sure I understand what you meant by the "results page only prints the correct button" - if you've included some short answer or fill in the blank questions, you should be able to see the users answers when using the print results feature - and it'll open an HTML page and that the user would need to print. 

Hi Ashley,

Yes, that was what I thought too... but I think since I'm using the Pick One and using the technique suggested by Jeanette (see original post) that it's just seeing the "correct" button as selected and using that as my answer instead of what I'm actually typing in the short answer fields.

I also have a form that I need to send to print or send to PDF.  Can Storyline do this?  

For example..a form with contact information and so forth that needs to be saved as a PDF or word document on submit.  That is part of a module that I need to build.

Ah Jenny, sorry I didn't think about you using the pick one option. I can't speak to the Java solution you mentioned - but did you try it in other browsers? Since all the text entries generate a variable - what about reporting those variables to a short answer? It'll be a bit more to set up and you can hide those slides, but then at least the user would be able to see actual answers on the results print out?  You'll need to include tracking of the short answer questions on your results slide set up - so depending on your reporting/tracking method needed this may cause some other issues for how your course is scored. 

Lisa, 

Storyline by default has only a "print results" button that generates an HTML page (such as the image jenny shared) showcasing the questions and answers the user did throughout the course. If you're looking to print out a form or similar you may want to look into other threads where they've discussed Javascript print commands. 

Ashley,

Thanks for your response.  I think the best approach for me is to do a survey, and I just have one question per slide, but I was able to design it in a way that it appears they are filling out the form.  This allows me to use the Results.html file as intended and it works in Chrome and IE.

My NEXT question is - do you know how to customize the results.html page?  I only want the Question and Student Answer columns to show.  I've tried editing it in Dreamweaver but have not been successful.

Thanks!

Hi Jenny,

We don't support modifying the published output - so unfortunately it's not something I'll be able to answer. There is some documentation here on how to modify the results page to include the quiz title - so I'd begin by reviewing this article. 

Thanks, Ashley.  The article and directions were very helpful.  I was able to remove all of the unwanted columns in the results page.

Awesome - thanks for the update Jenny!
