Storyline 360/Storyline 3 - Bookmarking on LMS
Aug 17, 2017
Hi Guys,
I am using the current version of Storyline 360 to create a training for one of my major clients (Restaurant Chain). Of course the current bug is that html 5 is messing up in IE 11 browsers... Since they needed to go live with the course next week and there is no fix for the HTML 5 issue, I had to download the Storyline 3 demo and open and publish from that demo to "fix" the html 5 problem. But another issue that was there on the 360 and now Storyline 3 publish is that the course is not "bookmarking" in their Oracle LMS. *Meaning they start the course, exit and when they return they have to start over.
Maybe I made a mistake somehow, or maybe it something with the program... but anyone else having these issues? I used Storyline 2 forever with them, and it always worked. Advice?? (thanks in advance for your comments and help!) :)

Here are a couple of things you can try:
From Storyline
1. From the Player Properties screen, click Other
2. Look at the On restart dropdown and change to Always resume or Prompt to resume
From Oracle LMS
Look to see if there are any settings about resuming. Perhaps there is a setting similar to Storyline?
Hope that helps -
Thor
Hi Elliott! Thanks for reaching out here. I saw that you have a support case submitted, and it's in the right hands.
We have prioritized the IE 11 and HTML5 output issue to be fixed, so as soon as we have some news on that, I'll share with you in this discussion as well.
Be on the lookout for an email from our support team. Thanks again for working with us!
I am experiencing the same issue with bookmarking not working in Storyline 360. Has there been a resolution to this issue and if so what the resolution is? I have to lock down the course, so now they have to view the course in one sitting. That's fine and dandy, but the course is 1 hour 15 minutes. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Darlene,
Thanks for reaching out regarding the issue you're seeing with bookmarking and Storyline 360.
I do not see any further conversation with Elliott regarding the bookmarking/resume feature and this conversation is a bit dated, so I'd like to start new with you so that we can help you out here.
Testing 360 as well in an Oracle-based LMS.
We are evaluating to replace or update The current solution, which bookmarks just fine,
This is obviously important to us, since our courses are quite lengthy and our people are very busy.
Player has been set both ways. Using IE 11 v 11.726.16299.0C0
Any updates?
Hi there, Phil. It sounds like you might be having trouble with the resume behavior in Internet Explorer. Is that right? Tell me a bit more about what's happening.
The original issue Elliott described has been fixed in an update, so I want to be sure we give you a hand if you're still having a problem!
Crystal:
I am evaluating 360 as a possible solution for larger courses, so bookmarking (resume) is necessary.
I set the Resume function in the 'Other' tab, but it did not work.
Is there anything else that needs be done?
What update fixed this issue? I am currently running v 3.21.17083.0

Hi Phil!
It sounds like you selected the "Prompt to Resume" setting in Player Properties, but the course isn't resuming correctly in Internet Explorer and in an Oracle-based LMS.
Thanks for letting us know you're on the latest update of Storyline 360, so we can check that off the list!
From here, I'd like to test the LMS output file in another LMS environment. That way, we can compare how it behaves to what you're seeing in your LMS. SCORM Cloud is a great option because it's industry standard for LMS testing, and it's free!
If you'd like help with that testing, attach your LMS output file here.
Alyssa, I think my issue may be even easier than that.
In one of your discussion threads someone mentions checking a box below these selections if in AICC, unchecking if in SCORM.
I do not have that box to check or uncheck. I wish I had captured that checkbox, sorry. Does this help?

Choosing Your Resume Options
•If your LMS supports bookmarking, mark the box labeled When running in LMS, ignore Flash cookie. The LMS will control resume behavior in this scenario.
•If your LMS doesn't support bookmarking, uncheck When running in LMS, ignore Flash cookie. A Flash cookie on learners' computers will control resume

Hi Phil,
That's something you can change within the Player settings which are a separate screen from the Publish settings. Here's more information on how to change that in Storyline 360 (the setting will be in the same spot for Storyline 3).
Not if I don’t have that all important check box I mentioned 3 times in earlier posts.
The dialog box, entitled Resume says On Restart: Prompt to resume, etc.
The checkbox below it, which I do not have, says When running in LMS, ignore Flash cookie.

Hi Phil,
You're saying you don't have the "When Running LMS, ignore Flash cookie" checkbox under the resume setting. This is because we actually removed this option from Storyline 360 and Storyline 3. Because it does not impact HTML5 output, you won't need this feature anymore.
That being said, let's go back to your original issue: you course isn't resuming correctly in Internet Explorer and in an Oracle-based LMS.
Could you please share your project file with our team so we can do some further investigation? We'll also test the course in another LMS to compare how it behaves there.
Hi Leslie,
I am still experiencing the same issue of the bookmarking not working in our Oracle LMS. Since I have posted this, I created two other courses that are experiencing the same issue no bookmarking.
We are trying to resolve this issue to work in our LMS otherwise we have to go back to Lectora. We are trying to avoid this as we love using Storyline. The las with the ticket were the course is too large and that may be causing the issue or there is a setting in the LMS that needs to change. Which may be difficult as admin is not willing to change. Thanks for your reply.
Darlene
Hi Darlene,
I found your case with Renato and it looks like you're also using AICC, and that may be why the bookmarking isn't working as expected. It's possible you're running into the suspend data issue and I see that Renato asked you to pull some LMS debug logs. Were you able to go through those steps?
Has there been any resolution to this thread? I am using Storyline 360 (3.32.20313.0), IE (11.1392.16299.0), and SAP/Success Factors. There are inconsistent reports from users complaining about various courses not saving their place. The "prompt to resume" player setting is selected. Thanks :)
Also we are exported directly to HTML5 - personally I think it is a browser based lack of support HTML5 issue that is the issue, but I might be making that up. To add additional oddities to the situation drag/drop questions seem to be problematic again (i.e. slide not resetting, drag items jumping across page, course getting stuck on drag/drop questions, etc.).
Yikes I apologize more info is obviously necessary. We publish to SCORM 2004 4th edition and HTML only (no flash back up). Plus the problems persist for some after the trusty "clear your cache/cookies" troubleshooting is complete.
Hi Rachel,
Thank you for providing those details!
Have you had a chance to test the course behavior in a testing LMS environment like SCORM Cloud? If not, I am more than happy to help!
With your permission, I'd like to take a look at your project file to investigate what's happening. You can share it publicly here, or you are always welcome to connect with our Support Engineers privately here. We'll share our findings and delete it when finished troubleshooting.
I am using the same version of Storyline 360 that Rachel is using. My project also will not bookmark correctly.
I have tried several combinations of slide properties. I also published with SCORM 1.2 which did bookmark but not correctly. I read on the forum to use SCORM 2004 - 4th edition because of the size of the project.
The current project settings are:
Browser settings: Resume on start set to "Prompt to resume".
Slide Properties: When revisiting set to " Resume saved state".
Published for LMS using SCORM 2004 - 4th Edition.
This is a 45 minute course that must bookmark the location in the course for the learner. Currently if they leave and come back, the course starts at the very beginning again.
HELP! I need to get this course loaded into the LMS with proper bookmarking ASAP . It's a required course that all employees will need to complete by the end of November.
Hi Cindy,
Sorry you're running into this issue and great call to open a case! I see it's been escalated, so be on the lookout for a response soon to help troubleshoot your file.
You're in excellent hands, and I'll follow along as the case progresses.
Hi Ren,
I appear to be running into a similar issue, i.e. I have a long course, published in SCORM 2004, bookmarking is not working (via test on SCORMCloud), and it is set to "always resume" on restart. I was wondering if you all had uncovered any potential fixes I might try from Cindy's case or otherwise. Please let me know. I will also be happy to submit the sl file if appropriate/helpful.
Thanks,
Bill
