Multiple text entry downloads in Rise
Yep, Custom HTML blocks won't allow it as Rise doesn't allow for local storage, so you'll need a Storyline block. I got it working in this internal course teaching the principles of ADDIE.
Users enter text over five screens which is saved, then the final Storyline block compiles all text inputs over the five screens and allows the user to download them to a single Word doc.
Attached are the Storyline files so you can view the JavaScript.
- addie_a.story is where the code is saved, each screen has a separate block.
- addie_e.story is the final screen where all comments are compiled and can be downloaded.
Good luck!
Hi Chris
Thanks for sharing your work. Can I clarify how this operates?
Say I have three lessons and each lesson has a Storyline block which has a Storyline story with a text entry field where the learner records reflections on that lesson.
I create a unique Storyline file for each lesson using addie.a where there is a text entry field for them to type their thoughts. And a button to save their notes.
When they get to the final lesson, the addie.e Storyline block displays their text entries from the previous three lessons and allows them to download their reflections.
Have I got that right?

Hi Helen,
addie.e doesn't actually display the previous entries, it just collates them and gives the user the option to download them all in a Word file.
I guess with some help from AI the JavaScript in 'addie_e' could be amended to also display the previous comments as they're obviously stored.
Let me know how you get on!
Chris.
Great idea. thanks for sharing. I only got so far. I embedded the addie a, and then the addie e into Rise. I experimented adding the text input. I came back to it the next day, added a new addie b with one field (renaming the triggers and variable names to match). I then tried to print and I did get a word document, but it remembered my first inputs ignoring the new inputs. I think I'll give up for now, but well done to you and thanks.
Hi Diane
Thanks for sharing your insights. Interesting that it picked up the earlier inputs.🤔
Thanks, Chris. I'll do some testing and see how I get on. But for now, I've got this working really well in Storyline so will use this Articulate product for my project as I'm confident with the outputs
And to be honest, it's nice having a break from Rise. Maybe the Articulate team can look at getting this to work in Rise so us non-coders can just add the blocks!
When I've finished up my testing, I'll let you know and share - if it works!!
Helen🙌
