Call data stored to a variable, FirstName, in a "Correct" response to a submitted quiz answer

I want to call data stored to a variable, FirstName, in a "Correct" response to a submitted quiz answer. As in:

That's right, [FirstName]! The answer is "leading."

How do I do this? (%FirstName% doesn't work.)

  • Hmmm. Typing the variable name within percentage signs should work to display a variable. So, first, double-check the variable name and the spelling.

    Also, try using the INSERT > Reference button to put the variable within the text. That button allows you to select the variable to display. 

    After all that, if the problem persists, I suggest you contact the Articulate staff. You can do that here: https://access.articulate.com/support/contact 

  • Attach your .story file here. It sounds like the problem may be somewhere other than the %FirstName%.

      Apparently, it works in Review, but NOT in Preview mode! Thanks for answering my question!
