Multiple text entry downloads in Rise

Hi all

Text entry downloads! First up. Thanks to this community for helping me with downloading multiple text entries in Storyline into one Word document. Works a treat.

Now I'm wanting to replicate this in Rise. Whether it's using a Storyline block which has a text entry function or a coded block.

I've been able to create one text entry download from a Storyline block. See it here in my test:

But I've not been able to collect text entries from multiple blocks. AI tells me that it's not possible in Rise due to "containerisation".

If you've been able to do this, I'd love to hear from you. Or if you have any ideas how I could go about it, that would be fabulous as well.

Ngā mihi nui (te Reo Māori for thanks very much)

Helen

    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.
