Multiple Text Entry Quiz

Hi Ashley and Wendy,

Wendy, I'll reiterate Ashley's welcome to the community.

Just wanted to add some further detail regarding Ashley's suggestion that you check trigger order: Ensure that the Submit interaction trigger is at the bottom of the trigger list. If it's not, this will also "trigger" that Invalid Answer message. (How would I know that? ummm...made that mistake).

If that's not the problem, can you attach the slide so someone from the community can try to sort it out?

Thanks so much. It was a very simple fix thanks to your pointers. I didn't realize I needed to change the order of the triggers - or that I could!

Now it's working like a treat!  

Thanks for the update Wendy, and glad you got it figured out. The impact of trigger order is something we all likely had to learn the "hard" way.

Hello,

this explanation was very usefull! But I have a problem with a variant of it in Storyline 2.

I have to make a test for a balance sheet. The sheet is given with predefined values and a case shoul be inserted into it. I made input boxes for all the fields of the sheet, some have to corrected, some must stay as they are. I used variables to insert the predifined values into the input boxes and gave the variables the starting values as default.

This works fine, if you enter edit every field and change at least one character, but if you leave one field untouched, Storylines does not accept the submission. It says its incomplete. If you change one character of each input field, incorrect and correct are shown als defined.

I see in your example that you also send blank input boxes and Storyline 1 accepts it, but you don´t have it filled with predefined values. Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem.

Hi Peter,

Since this is a more customized set up, you may want to share a copy of the .story file here so that the community can take a look at how you've set it up. 

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I translated my example for english speaking people, wrote a small explanation and appended the story file here. Thanks in advance!

Hi Peter,

I took a look at your file, and I think you've stumbled upon a common problem. :)  In your set up, for the question to be marked "incorrect" your trigger is checking that ALL the elements are not equal to the expected setting - when in reality, all you need is one item to not match the expected value. So instead of using the "AND" condition you'll want to utilize the "OR" condition. 

Once you do that, if the user doesnt' answer one element correctly the "wrong" item off stage will still be "selected" and therefore the question counts as being answered. As you have it set right now - nothing is selected unless they match all those conditions.

Hope that helps! 

Thanks a lot!

I changed the conditions of the Trigger for the wrong ansers to OR and it works!

Awesome Peter - easy enough fix, so glad you're all set! 

Hi Jeaneatte, 

Your screenr was just brilliant! I used it now in one of my modules and it rocks. Thanks a lot for sharing!
