Adjusting slide properties for multiple slides in question bank

Hi Rich!

If you go to Story View, you can select multiple slides and adjust their slide properties at the same time. Let me know if you're having trouble figuring out how to do that!

I have 400 questions in several questions banks. Your answer, Allison, refers to slide outside of question banks. Right?

Is there a way to change slide properties for all highlighted questions in a bank?

For example deactivaton the submitbutton for all question slides in the question bank?

Hi Thorston,

I did a quick screencast here for you that I hope will be helpful.

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Hi Allison, 

Thanks for your answer. I just don't want to click each question one by one. So obviously there is no feature like this yet. 

So I did it automatically by the free macro recorder Autohotkey. I deactivated the submit Button for 400 questions in 5 minutes.

For All Who want to automate it for themselves for free. Macros are one or many keystrokes/mouse clicks that are done by your Computer. What to click and do is listed on a Checklist, called Script file.

I downloaded Autohotkey, installed, downloaded attached file (or copy scriptcode that is below in a file with -ahk-extension).

Then I hit right mouse Button on ahk-file Choose "Run Script" and switched to SL. The automation did the rest.

BR,

Thorsten

Hi Thorsten, 

Yes, I understood that but unfortunately, I didn't find a way to do it all at once so I wanted to share that tip with you in case you didn't know it. :)

Thanks for sharing the macro tip! I'm sure that'll help out others in the community.

Hi there

you could automate even more than decribed above .

So the script will run 15 times. To change that number, just change the "15" that is bold marked in the code  to whatever you like.

And after the scipt has started by choosing "Run Script" you have 5 seconds time to swith to Storyline-window. If you want to change that to 10 seconds just change the "5000" to "10000" as these are milliseconds.
