Hi Sandeep,

I'm happy to chime in! I have prepared a screen recording for you illustrating the steps that Joe shared.

    Hi Eric,

    I appreciate you providing such thorough instructions on how to achieve this.

    I'll try to get a valid URN from our LMS administrator so that I can see if it works and see if I can also record user-entered information.

    I'll keep you informed as soon as possible.

    Thank you!!

      Hi Sandeep,

      I'd like to share how you can get a valid URN for line 15 in the custom xAPI statement. It appears that you can obtain it from Storyline instead of from the LMS. 

      One way to fill in the values for the en-US and id fields for your xAPI statement is to select an object (e.g., slide, object, or custom text) for your verb in the trigger wizard before clicking the + xAPI link.

      Here's a screen recording showing how.

      Let me know if that works for you.

        Hey Eric

        I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to guide me through this.

        With your guidance & solution, I was able to fetch the text input values into tracking along with the dropdown values successfully.

        I have now discovered a new problem as a result of putting this answer into action and testing the full course. The problem in this case is that the dropdown and text entry values were being tracked separately as separate slides with different slide IDs.

        Just so you know, Thinkfic serves as our learning management system. I've attached the tracking report, which solely contains the relevant slides, for your information (Scheduler Child 1-5). I initially tested in SCORM cloud and subsequently in our LMS, however the problem (different slides & IDs) persisted in both places.

        Could you please check over the generated report and advise me on how to extract the text entry and dropdown values into a single slide and IDs.

        As a result of the restrictions/limitations, I'm not aware of any further options for the Storyline.

        Will there therefore be a way to retrieve the values into a single slide for tracking in the Thinkfic LMS? Could you please advise/guide me through this?

        I greatly appreciate your help.
