Linking Multiple Storyline Workbooks for Bulk Printing in Rise Course

Thanks Phil that's definitely put me in the right direction, i'm going to try the following:

You can use local storage in Storyline to store learners' answers across multiple workbooks and retrieve them at the end of the course to generate a single printable document. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this:

Step 1: Store Learner Inputs in Local Storage

Since Storyline doesn’t have built-in functionality to transfer data between multiple Storyline modules in a Rise course, you can use JavaScript to store answers in the browser's localStorage.

1. Assign Variables to Text Entries
   • In Storyline, create text entry fields for learners to type their answers.
   • Assign a variable to each field (e.g., answer1, answer2, etc.).
2. Use JavaScript to Save Answers
   • Add a Trigger to run JavaScript when the learner clicks a "Save" button.
   • Use the following JavaScript to store the data:
   • Repeat this for each workbook, using different variables.

Step 2: Retrieve Data Across Workbooks

When learners reach the final section of the course where they need to print all workbooks together:

1. Use JavaScript to Retrieve Data
   • Add a trigger to run JavaScript when the "Print All Workbooks" button is clicked.
   • Use the following JavaScript to pull all stored answers:
2. Display the Answers in a Printable Format
   • Create a new slide where you display all retrieved answers.
   • Use text boxes referencing the variables (%answer1%, %answer2%, etc.).

Step 3: Print All Answers as a PDF

Once all answers are displayed on a single page, you can use JavaScript to trigger a print function.

1. Add a "Print" button with a JavaScript trigger:
2. If you want a more polished PDF output, you can use jsPDF (a JavaScript library) to format and save the file.

Step 4: Clear Local Storage (Optional)

If you want to reset stored answers when learners finish the course, use:

javascriptCopyEditlocalStorage.clear();

Summary

1. Store learner inputs using localStorage.setItem().
2. Retrieve data across workbooks using localStorage.getItem().
3. Display the collected responses on a final page.
4. Use JavaScript to print or save as a PDF.

This method ensures that learners can type in answers across multiple Storyline modules in Rise and print everything together at the end. Let me know if you need any refinements! 🚀

javascriptCopyEditvar doc = new jsPDF();var answer1 = localStorage.getItem("answer1");var answer2 = localStorage.getItem("answer2");

doc.text(20, 30, "Workbook Answers:");
doc.text(20, 50, "Answer 1: " + answer1);
doc.text(20, 70, "Answer 2: " + answer2);

doc.save("workbook_answers.pdf");javascriptCopyEditwindow.print();

Fingers crossed this works 🤞
