InfoPath form in SL course

Hi Sheila, 

I haven't worked with submitting forms from InfoPath, but I wonder if you could use variables to solve the problem.  Would the user click a button within Storyline to submit the InfoPath form?  If so, the followign might work (I haven't tried it though):

Create a true/false variable "FormSent" with an inital value of false.

Add a trigger to the InfoPath submit button to set the value of the FormSent variable to true

Add a results slide to the course and add a slide trigger to "Show layer Success when the timeline starts if FormSent is equal to True or show layer Failure if FormSent is equal to False.  (this slide trigger would have to appear before the slide trigger to submit results for that results slide).

Like I said, I haven't tested this yet or worked with InfoPath, so hopefully one of the Storyline gurus will either confirm this as an option or help you come up with some other way.

Good luck!!!

Diana

Thanks, Diana.  I think what you're talking about could work if there were a way for a button in SL to trigger the Submit button in the InfoPath Form, but I can't think of a way to do that.   =(

Hey Sheila,

The only way I can think to make this work is if you had a javascript attached to the submit button on the infopath form that will reach over to the browser window that has the SL course and manipulate a variable there. Then a javascript in SL could check the status of this symbol and verify it has been completed.  Maybe a JS expert on this forum could verify if this is possible.
