Hi, I found out that if my variables box list contains a few results variable such as Results.PassPercent Results.PassPoints Results.ScorePercent Results.ScorePoints Results1.PassPercent Results1.PassPoints Results1.ScorePercent Results1.ScorePoints If i apply those variables with Results1.... at the beginning to my 1st inserted result, the score did not show after completing quiz- all correct. It is as if: default Results.ScorePercent belongs to 1st result slide created Results1.ScorePercent belongs to 2nd result slide created Results2.ScorePercent belongs to 3rd result slide created etc So what if I have multiple result slide created which I did not know which was created 1st and some were deleted, and I apply any of the variable versions to the result slide, but it does not work. I am curious to know how each of the result slide picks up which variable to use and to show the score. Is there a setting which I can see visually so that I know which variable to match with the result slide? Thanks! Emalyn

Hi Emalyn: So your issue was actually that you had created many results slides and deleted some, then were left with all the result result variables? If that was teh case, I would have just deleted all results slides, then deleted all results variables. Once done, just create a new results slide, assign it to the questions you want, and it will autmatically generate the correct result variables again. Hope that helps. Best Regards, Dennis Hall

Hi Emalyn: When you create a results slide, the variables are automatically generated with it. If you remember the order you created your results slides, that same order is maintained in the variables (i.e. the first results slide generated has not number, the second gets a 1 in it, the third gets a 2 in it, etc... If you need to override this, The only way is to create text boxes and enter the variable names in them like %ResultsScorePercent% into the text boxes to show the score of each quiz. Best Regards, Dennis Hall

Hi Dennis, But sometimes it did not work. In fact I have to try all variable and test them, then I can only know which variable the result slide picks up. Just thought that if there is any other way to simplify the method and save more effort. But anyway thanks for your reply! Thanks and regards, Emalyn

Hi Emalyn, It looks like Dennis is assisting you here, and if you need anything further please let us know.

Hi All, I think the problem is that the results variables can't be deleted once they're created. I know I've run into this, and have found others have run into it as well. For example, I found this response (italic below) from a fairly recent (9/17/13) post: Hi Joseph, As far as I know there isn't a way to delete these variables once created. I have seen limited success in users who were able to remove these variables by importing the slides from your original course into a new file. Please create a new, blank Storyline course and import the slides from your first file. And here's another thread describing the problem. I've put in a feature request, asking for the ability to delete these...renaming them would be great also.

How result slide detect which result variable to use

Hi,

I found out that if my variables box list contains a few results variable such as

Results.PassPercent
Results.PassPoints
Results.ScorePercent
Results.ScorePoints

Results1.PassPercent
Results1.PassPoints
Results1.ScorePercent
Results1.ScorePoints

If i apply those variables with Results1.... at the beginning to my 1st inserted result, the score did not show after completing quiz- all correct.

It is as if:

default Results.ScorePercent belongs to 1st result slide created
Results1.ScorePercent belongs to 2nd result slide created
Results2.ScorePercent belongs to 3rd result slide created
etc

So what if I have multiple result slide created which I did not know which was created 1st and some were deleted, and I apply any of the variable versions to the result slide, but it does not work.

I am curious to know how each of the result slide picks up which variable to use and to show the score. Is there a setting which I can see visually so that I know which variable to match with the result slide?

Thanks!

Emalyn

This seems to be an ongoing issue for our team as well. We use a template that we developed. It doesn't happen consistently, but it does behave differently between using the template story file, using the team slides, or using the storytemplate file. Our template only has the one results slide with the default Results.PassPoints etc. without the digits. Now and again one of our team members will end up with a digit in the group of variables and the assessment will have odd behavior for reviewing missed questions and may not report correctly on the results slide.
