Question Issue, Pick One and Pick Many

Hi again, MaryAnne! 😊

Mind if I take a closer look at your Excel question template? You may just need a small change in the formatting. You can attach that template in a new reply here. 

Absolutely!  Thank you for looking at it for me.

By the way, I took the point value off the file that I sent you, but originally the score was 1 point.  : )

PO and PM are codes for the survey questions and cannot have an answer choice or score.

You want MC and MR

Good Morning Phil, Thanks for your help but the guide (see link above) specifically says, "If your pick-one question will be graded, mark the radio button for the right answer in the Correct column."  and "After creating a freeform pick-one question, you can customize several of its attributes, including shuffling of answer choices, feedback, branching, score, "

So I'm not understanding something. Is the user guide incorrect?

This maybe something wrong with the documentation a Pick one or Pick many cannot be graded which is likely stopping the import. 

The graded questions are MC or MR

The freeform questions cannot be greater using the import so I think you also have two separate user guides. 

One is for the quizmaker style questions and the other for the freeform questions. It is confusing as I only just realised they are called the same thing.

It's the same user guide...on the same webpage....Storyline 360...see link above.

I think they call the graded type questions form-based questions. Are you using the term quizmaker or is that something else completely?

Thanks again.

This is the import guide https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-2/articles/importing-questions-into-articulate-storyline-2

Freeform questions are different.

Thank you. Yes I have used that guide. My point is that the USER guide states otherwise. 

Hi MaryAnne,

You are correct, you can have Freeform questions that can be scored, however, Phil is also correct in that you cannot import Freeform questions. The Excel template is for form-based question types within Storyline, including the graded and survey questions.

The Pick One and Pick Many for the Excel template import are for survey questions.

If you take a look within Storyline, you will see that there is a Pick One and a Pick Many for both and you can certainly manually add a freeform question type that you wish to be graded.

I apologize for any confusion.

Hey Leslie, that is confusing. From the user guide, the directions for form-based questions include multiple choice and multiple response.  Then, freeform-based questions are pick-one and pick many.  But, I'll take your word for it. Thank you for chiming in. I have hundreds of questions which is why the Excel sheet is so important to me. I was trying to drag and drop the answers but have since given up and used regular MC and MR.
