Attempts not recording to LMS
I have published a course in SCORM 2.1 but when I run it within the LMS every attempt just overwrites the previous attempt and the attempt number is always just set to 1 no matter how many times I re-attempt the course. What it should do is update the attempt number and provide a history of my previous attempts.
I have not altered the default LMS settings. Any Ideas?

HI Laura,
If you need to track the number of attempts that your learners take before passing your quizzes, you can setup a numerical variable to track the attempts, and then follow the steps in this article to send the value of the variable to your LMS:
A numerical value would then be sent to your LMS which will serve as a representation of the number of attempts taken before a passing mark was achieved.
Hope this helps!
As an admin, where would I see that number of attempts data in my LMS?
By design, the LMS displays each attempt on a separate line, with a Status (cmi.core.lesson_status), Session Time (cmi.core.session_time), and Score (cmi.core.score), where appropriate. These values would then "roll up" to the Course level, where I would see a Lesson Status (cmi.core.lesson_status), an aggregate of the session times (cmi.core.total_time), and a score (cmi.core.score), where appropriate.
Hi Joe,
This is so helpful!! I think I'm going to be able to make this work!I do have one question. I'm not a programmer, so if this is obvious, forgive my inexperience. In the first section that shows how to add a "send xAPI statement" trigger, step 4 refers to entering a valid URN in that area. What is a valid URN? If I'm attempting to send the number of quiz attempts before passing to my LMS, what should that valid URN be?
Thanks so much!

I'm trying both the xAPI method and Survey slide method to see which works best with our LMS. When I attempt to add the trigger to the survey slide, my custom variable is not showing up on the drop down menu to select. So, my trigger looks like this:

Thanks!

You can check out this article which shows an example of what a valid URN looks like when creating xAPI statements.
Regarding your inquiry involving a variable, it looks like you tried attaching a screenshot to your post. Would you mind reuploading it here, along with a copy of your project file so we can take a look at how it's setup? You can also open a support case with our team if you prefer to share your project file privately.
Thanks so much, Joe! I took a look at that article and although it does cover xAPI statements, I didn't see anything about a URN in there. I've opened a case and attached my storyline file. I'm sure it's a pretty easy fix, just need to know exactly what to do. I appreciate all the help!
