Mutiple fill in the blanks on one slide?

WOW thanks. Yes the names now change (i.e. where your arrows are pointing to),but I want this to be a fill in the blank, so when I go to Preview the text entries will appear filled in. I want the names to appear on the timeline only (to enable triggers to be easily applied to specific names) but the text entries on the published slide must be blanks for users to fill in. 

If you preview the slide you made above, do both boxes appear blank?  For me only one does. as below

thanks again!!!

Hey Steve, 

Sorry I missed you over the weekend. And it sounds like you might be getting the expected behavior with the labels. The key point I was missing was that you're working with a fill-in-the-blank slide (duh). Are you able to attach your slide so we can have a go at what you'd like to do? 

Hi Peter,

I was going to send it to you but I've got it figured out!!!

All I needed to do was to rename the variables so that  I can see which variable I am triggering. 

I was trying to rename the text entry here where it says "text entry" so that I could see which entry I needed to trigger.....

when what I needed to do was rename the variable in the Triggers section. Then I could apply Player triggers to the variable and be able to see the variable's name. 

It was a little unintuitive, but there is a very quick section in Jeannette's screenr where she says "you can name your variables if you dont know how to" at about 4 minutes in. That was all I was missing!

Your help as I have said is really appreciated. These forums are blowing me away with their support. Thanks, I hope you have an awesome week. 

Steve

Awesome, Steve! Glad you got it worked out, and thanks for sharing your steps

You can make this more helpful to the student too by adding a tick/cross object next to each of the text entry fields that is triggered to identify which ones they got wrong.  A much better experience for the student. You can also make only the incorrect ones reset if you want to allow them to carry on and get the question correct (with unlimited attempts). Simply add the required triggers to the continue button on the feedback layer or create your own custom feedback layer.

nice call John. That'll take me some time!

Unfortunately my trial will end soon and I'm just testing the functionality before purchase. But that is exactly the kind of thing necessary for the sometimes tedious fill in the blank activity. It is one prerequisite of purchase for my company however, so I had to make sure it works. And with all the support, I know ti works, and when it doesn't, someone will help! For me, that's a huge plus. 

It's really cool juts trying to get my head around what is possible. A lot appears possible with this software. 

Thanks again

Steve

Thanks Steve! I was having the same problem with the "You must submit the question..." error message.

Is there any new way to do this?

Hi, Erika.

Thank you for reaching out!

If you're looking to send the values of multiple fields on one slide to your LMS, here is an article and a couple of discussions that might help you with what you're looking to do:

• Storyline 360: How to Send the Value of a Variable to an LMS
• Multiple text entry fields reporting data to LMS 
• Variables to LMS: Can you share your examples? 

I hope this helps!
