I am trying to create a survey that ranks answers, and then tally's the responses on the last slide
As I understand your request, it sounds like you have Likert-like questions, and you want a "total" based on the user's responses. It's not clear whether or not you want that info submitted to the LMS/LRS or if it's just needed to show the user.
Unfortunately, Storyline triggers can't pull info about responses to Likert survey questions. So using those wouldn't allow you to determine the investor type.
One easy solution: use multiple-choice/pick-one question slides. Assign different point values to each answer. To do that, switch the question to Score: By Choice. Here's an example:
Also set the Feedback to None, which will get rid of the Correct and Incorrect layers.
Then, on the Results slide, you could set the passing score to 0%, so the Success layer always shows. You could just show the total points, and then have a list saying what investor types align with what point ranges.
Or, for a more personalized feel, have a layer for each type. Use triggers to show the appropriate type based on the value of the points variable.
The nice thing about that method is it lets Storyline do most of the work, and it submits the info to the LMS/LRS.
Another option: Use Pick-one survey questions. In that case, you'll need to create your own triggers to add up the score. You could also trigger to enter that score into a short-essay survey question that the user can't actually edit (i.e., survey field is on the base; slide shows a layer that prevents clicking on the base). Also use a Results slide to have all that info submitted to the LMS/LRS.
Otherwise, you could set up custom questions. This post discusses that option and has a demo file.
That method doesn't send info to the LMS/LRS. But this article describes how to send a variable value:
That you so much JudyNollet . I posted a reply below that hopefully helps better explain my intended need. I am not loving the up and down arrow way of moving things but still trying to figure out a solution.
I do need to rank each answer in a way that gives them an order...so I can't have the learner select just one answer, then need to select them all, but put them in order from best to worst. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again for your reply.
