Survey questions - Summary screen of a user's responses

Nov 02, 2012

First Storyline project, so please bear with me...

I have created 30 survey questions, and now require Storyline to provide the user with a summary of their answers in this simple form:

Number of Questions you answered 'A' = xx

Number of Questions you answered 'B' = xx

Number of Questions you answered 'C' = xx

(Ideally, I would like this as a bar chart, but I'll start simple)

As it is a survey, there are no 'right' or 'wrong' answers. Can I get Storyline to count the number of a's, b's and c's, then present this as a summary at the end. Apologies in advance I'm missing the obvious, but I can't for the life of me find any options for presenting the survey responses.

Thanks in advance,

Steven.

Hi Steven

There's several steps you need to take to make this work:

  • First of all you need to add a numric variable for each of the answer options, i.e. A/B/C
  • Then in each of the questions changethe Feedback option to 'By choice'
  • In each Feedback field enter a space so there is character in the field but nothing visible, this will give you a layer for each answer option

Then on each layer:

  • Set the timeline to its shortest timescale, I use 0.25 seconds,
  • Using the Layout option change the Layout to Blank
  • Hide all the objects on the layer by closing the eyes next to them in the timeline
  • Adjust the existing triggers so the layer hides at 'Timeline Ends' for the layer and Jump to next slide at timeline end also
  • Add a new trigger: Adjust Variable, Pick the correct variable for the layer, +Add Value 1, at Timeline Starts of the layer

When you have done this on all the layers for each question you can add a slide on which you can add References to the variables to show the totals:

As you already have all your questions in this may take a little time to go back and do this on all questions, but for future reference if you do this on a single question and then duplicate the slide all the settings will duplicate too and you simply them have to edit the question and answer fields.

Attached is a sample with 5 questions so you can it in action

Hope this helps

Hi - you may have your quiz done by now but I just wanted to add another option to this thread.  I was asking about doing something similar and, although Helen's suggestion would definitely work, Tim Hillier made a suggestion to me that is much simpler and works great.  You can see it and download his sample project from this thread:
