Different draws from the same question bank or different question banks?
Hello fellow Storyline users. I have a concern that I need to have a second option to. I have created a training that contains 4 different scenes, where the user have to choose one scene at the...
Hello! I recently completed a very similar training course where there were 3 groups of individuals that would have to answer some similar questions but some questions would be different based on their job role. I completed this by following your option 1 and created one question bank to pull from which ended up saving me time in the end when the wording of the questions had to change. I also had to delete a question from all scenes which was easier to delete from the question bank instead of each scene separately.
A few tips that I found helped:
1) If you have not already created all of the scenes, finish one and have it approved (if that is part of your process). Once approved, duplicate the scenes to save time.
2) I made a list (outside of Storyline) of which question numbers go to which scene. This helped prevent the risk you mentioned about not marking a question correctly to Always/Never. I found it easier to track outside of Storyline (Excel/Word, Google Docs, etc.) a simple list of each scene and which question numbers should be "Always" or "Randomly".I included an image of one of the Draw Questions from Bank window to show how I set my up. I hope this helps!

Many Thanks!
Regarding creating a list of the question outside Storyline, is it a way to export the questions bank in some way? For example to Excel
I'm not familiar with a way to export questions into Storyline from Excel. I manually entered the questions into the bank. I duplicated question slides when I could to save on formatting and design time.
Sorry if I was unclear, but I meant the other way around, i.e. from storyline to Excel.
Thanks!
Hi OlleSchlin!
Glad to see Rachel has been helping you!
I wanted to share we are tracking a feature request to support the exporting of questions and question banks, from Storyline 360. I'll include your voice in the request! In the meantime, my colleague Ren shared a workaround involving Microsoft Word that you may find useful.
