Multiple Text Entry Quiz
Hi All! I know this thread is a little stale, but I recently used Jeannette's Screener (referenced above) and the tips in this thread, and I wanted to share a template to show how multiple or numeric entry fields can be used in practice exercises and quizzes.
The templates below are based on a course I created for my employer. The course provided a bit of contextual information and gave learners the opportunity to complete a varity of practice exercises. The exercises and quiz questions replicate our real-life processes where learners have to read seven different documents (displayed on different slide layers) to determine what formulas to apply and then use the data provided to calculate up to 21 different numeric values. Learners are required to enter their calculated values on a spreadsheet. Based on the conditions I set, learners have to correctly enter all of the numeric entry fields in order to "pass" the exercise or quiz question.
I took what I learned and created 2 basic course templates to share with the awesome Articulate community, so I hope anyone who comes across this thread will find them helpful. I used basic numbers in the template, and there's a temporary "show me the answer" button so you can see what values you have to enter for each interaction.

This is Awesome Diana! I have attempted the same thing several times with a true/false question. I couldn't get it to work, but I see why because of your example. I was using and instead of or in the "false" triggers. I attached a much simpler version here. How did you get your numeric entries to show 0 by default?

@Kelly - the variable for the numeric entry boxes has a default value of 0, so I didn't have to do anything to "set it to zero" on each slide.
I will say, however, that duplicating slides or copying & pasting numeric entry boxes gets a little "hinky" and the zero value doesn't display in the field automatically. I had that very situation happen with in one my official courses (with 22 different mult-numeric interactions), and what I found works is to to delete and recreate the variable and triggers associated with that numeric entry field. With a "clean," brand new variable, the zero value displayed by default.
I hope this helps - feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Best wishes!

Diana,
I found I was able to copy and paste and the 0's still show up. I did this by creating the numeric variables (named something other than NumericEntry). Then I copied and pasted the slide. I then updated all the triggers to reflect the "clean" variables. This made it much quicker than recreating all the triggers every time.
