Storyline - Print Results - output doesn't include course title

Jul 08, 2012

When I have Storyline print results, the report generated does not contain the course name.  If I have several courses people can take, I need the name to appear on their results page.  Is there a setting I am missing?

Hi Stephen, you have not missed anything. You have to add it to the report.html  file.

The easiest way is just to add it manually.

There are fancier ways of capturing this information, but what I am suggesting should do the trick for you.

The report.html file is created when you publish your course and is located in the story_content folder.

Just open it up using notepad and the add

type the name of the course here

just after the tag

Note that this file gets overwritten each time you publish so keep a copy of it someplace outside of the story_content folder.

Edit: Nancy already got it answered for you. Hope what she suggested and my link to the thread will help.

Hi Stephen,

I haven't played around with this in storyline yet, but I did find a thread that might get you on your way.

http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=qm9&id=8nkon52m3h71

It deals with editing the report.html file which is used for the print results feature. While the tutorial deals with creating certificates, it should help you get an idea on how to include the course name.

It's not the complete answer I would like to provide, and will see if I can come up with something better.

I really really really need the course/quiz title to be on the printed quiz results.  I am sooo not qualified for editing HTML but this seems pretty simple reading the thread above...BUT what I did didn't work.  Can you take a looke and tell me WHERE in the HTML I should put the title.  Sorry...I am so not HTML lady.

Thanks,

I have created a short course in Storyline and imported a quiz from quizmaker. I am having the students take the course on a PC and having them print the results page when they are complete. The course is built with multiple branches that end with quizzes at the end of each. The student is able to then take the quizzes based on the equipment they are operating. Because of the computer/network environment I have had to distribute the final course via CD. At the end of each quiz, the student is asked to print the results page for their personnel records and objective evidence of their completion.

The problem is that the results page does not include the quiz name, but has something to the effect of "Results28". I have looked through Storyline and cannot see what setting I am missing that changes the output to reflect the quiz name. Any suggestions?

I checked out that thread before and it helped out, but did not solve the overall problem. I was able to modify the results page and also added a course title, company information, and even pulled in a variable from the course to capture the student's name. The Quiz name still does not come through.

The threads that I have read tell me how to modify the reports.html and add the text there to add a course title. The course title is static and works fine by modifying the reports.html file. What I cannot figure out is to do the quiz title or the branch title since that becomes dynamic.

I see in the reports.html the string strTitle, and I believe it would be to pull that data from Storyline, but it is not matching the Quiz Title in Storyline. I have included the results page as printed - I highlighted the challenge.

Exact same issue here, I can manually edit the report.html file to add the Course/Quiz title but I need this to be dynamic as I am working with hundreds of assessments. Surely this is a bug as looking at the report.html file the code on line 273 seems to be trying to

pull the title from the quiz results slide dynamically into the report.html but it doesn't seem to work:
var strTitle = g_oQuizResults.strTitle;
document.write("

" + strTitle + "

");
if (g_oQuizResults.oOptions.strName)
{
if (g_oQuizResults.oOptions.strName.length > 0)
{
document.write("

" + g_oQuizResults.oOptions.strName +

"");
}
}

Jon Turner -

At least I am not alone on this issue.  I hit up support and they said

"We don't currently support this feature to automatically add titles to reports....We don't currently support editing or modify the report.html file in your published output. However, you may want to check out the following KB articles which contains information about modifying the report.html file:

http://www.articulate.com/support/kb_article.php?product=qm9&id=8nkon52m3h71 "

The feature request has been submitted via the support link.

So, if I understand correctly, I will need to have one quiz per course if I want to include a title.  That is not very effective for the way I have built my course for different types of "Powered Industrial Trucks" aka forklifts, scissor lifts, boom lifts etc.    I wonder if there is a way for a variable to be assigned in Story LIne that would then trigger an event that would be coded in the report.html that would then insert the appropriat quiz title.

Time to brush up on my html...

Hi Petre-Marian and welcome to the community!

First, can you tell me how you're viewing the published presentation, please? Are you viewing the published output files locally, or are you uploading to a web server or LMS?

If you're viewing your published files locally, this may be the problem. If you view a published Storyline presentation on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail.

To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the article below for more information:

Publishing and Sharing Articulate Storyline Content

If you do not have access to a web server or LMS for testing, you could try using SCORM Cloud.

Another option would be to use our Tempshare server. Just keep in mind that this server is only available for testing content - it is not officially supported by Articulate and all content will be removed automatically after 10 days.

In addition, you could also use Dropbox. Just remember that you'll need to place your content in the "Public" folder. Also, you'll need to make sure that the folder is enabled. To do so, click on this link.

You're always welcome to try out Articulate Online, as well - it's available for a free 30 day trial.

Try uploading your project and let me know if you're able to print the results.

Thanks!

Another question:

I finish my exam at the end of my tutorial and I got my score, I add my name in the popup, I am able to print it out, then I close the course. When I re-open the same course, it ask me if I want to continue from where I stopped and I say Yes, because I want to see again my results. However, I can see my last page with my score, it ask me again to add my name, I put my name, then I get a blank page and I can't see for the second time my answers.

Why this is happening and how can I avoid that?

Thanks!

Hi Valdete,

It sounds like you're describing a known issue documented here:

You may find that question and answer details are missing from your printed results when the following conditions are true:

  • You completed the quiz and exited the course.
  • You resumed the course and printed your results.

This is a known issue. We'll post more information here as it becomes available.

Ashley Terwilliger-Pollard

Hi Valdete,

I don't have further information to share in regards to a timeframe for this fix, but I've added this thread to the existing report with our QA team so that they're aware of other users who are impacted by the issue. Please make sure that you've selected "subscribe to replies" at the top of the thread (you'll need to do this each time you reply) so that you'll be notified via email of any updates in this thread - and I'll post anything here if I hear further from our QA team. 

In regards to your first question, modifying the results.html page is not something we support as it's a modification of the published output but there is an article here on how to adjust it. 

If you need anything else please feel free to let us know.

How can I change the word results on the top, generated by Storyline? I changed everything for French words, but I can't find that one in reports.html

Could you help me please?

Sorry, I can't recall. I'll look at the report again the next time I have a spare minute.
