Hi, Oleg.

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts about the new feature in Storyline!

We also have a feature request logged for the ability to send actor information through variables (xAPI), which might work for what you're looking to accomplish, so I added this discussion to the report. 

We will update this discussion if we have any news to share or if this request makes it to our feature roadmap.

Hello!

I tested the Articulate Storyline update on February 15th 2022 and I hasten to report that I am absolutely satisfied with the new feature - JS templates for getting an actor. It works fantastic for old LMS.

I just have one question: is this the last new feature for Storyline? Roadmap is empty...

    Oleg, are you pulling SCORM variables (Student ID or Student Name) from your "old LMS" using this approach? I'm trying to adapt the "Static Account" template to grab the Student ID, but without success.

      Hello Stephen,

      I'm using a personal JavaScript template, you can try:

      lmsAPI = parent;
      function getActor() {
      return {
      "objectType": "Agent",
      "account": {
      "homePage": "https://www.example.com",
      "name": lmsAPI.GetStudentID(),
      }
      };
      }
      Unfortunately, I find it difficult to respond to this forum. I have to use VPN. Articulate Global, LLC has blocked access to all users from Russia.

        Thank you for sharing this code with Stephen, Oleg! I do want to clarify - we have not blocked access to the E-Learning Heroes site. Please reach out to our team directly at support@articulate.com if you are not able to access E-Learning Heroes.
