Sending a Numeric Variable to an LMS
I'm working on a similar project and when I first tried this, I got stuck on the fourth bullet of step 2, where it directs you to select the variable that you want to report to your LMS, because the variable wasn't available in the list. I realized that the issue was that by selecting a short answer survey question in step 1, that creates a text type variable, while the variable that I want to report to the LMS is a number type variable. I deleted the short answer survey question and instead selected the how many survey question for step 1. Then I continued with the steps and the variable was then available in the list on step 2 4th bullet because they are now the same type of variable. If this is similar to the issue you are experiencing, I recommend trying the different survey question type.
Edited to note: The other response from Nedim reminded me that I forgot to mention that in our case we are not passing the score as a mastery score, we just want to capture it as a survey question result that we can run reports on. Based on our LMS and for this scenario, in addition to the above setting to collect the score as a numerical value, as well as to collect the other survey responses, we used these settings:
- Result slide with 0% for the passing score
- Set Report status to LMS as Passed/Incomplete (our LMS configuration will not complete the course if its set to Complete/Incomplete while tracking is based on a result slide and not slides viewed).
- Published as SCORM 2004
- Once uploaded to the LMS and completed an attempt, ran a SCORM Exam detail report (report specific to SuccessFactors to report question level responses on SCORM 2004 courses)
- 6V is the result of the total number accumulated through a TotalScore variable and populated into the How Many survey question.
- N is blank because we aren't capturing a true score
- O is passed for the entire item because we set the completion as Passed/Incomplete
- W is blank because they were all survey questions, no correct answers.

Thank you very much, Jennifer. Please see my reply to Nedim for more of an explanation.
