Hello everyone, I'm in the process of upgrading some courses to Storyline 360 to utilize the HTML5 improvements. Due to the complexity of certain courses, we've found that the best method of setting course completion on LMS has been using JavaScript via SetStatus("completed"); However, it seems that SetStatus("completed"); is not working for my SCORM 1.2 courses on SCORM Cloud when using HTML5 output. The completion status remains incomplete after the JavaScript trigger has been executed. I tried it again using the Flash output and it worked correctly. Once the trigger was executed, the course was properly marked as completed. In my past experience, SetStatus worked well for both Flash and HTML5 with Storyline 2, so this seems to be specific to Storyline 360. Does anyone have more information on this issue, and perhaps a workaround to get it working correctly for HTML5? Thanks,Matt

Hi Samantha, Thanks so much for sharing your solution! I tried it out, and it wasn't working for me initially in Storyline 360. However, it got me to dig a little deeper and it seems to be working well using the lmsAPI methods instead of the Storyline player. Here's the version that worked for me with an optional line for tracking score: //Get LMS APIfunction findLMSAPI(win) {if (win.hasOwnProperty("GetStudentID")) return win;else if (win.parent == win) return null;else return findLMSAPI(win.parent);}var lmsAPI = findLMSAPI(this);//Set Completed statuslmsAPI.SetReachedEnd();//Set Passed statuslmsAPI.SetPassed();//Set percentile score based on score variable between 0 - 100lmsAPI.SetScore(score, 100, 0); Credit for grabbing the right window with the lmsAPI goes to Adam Trosper's posts on this thread. So far this seems to be working for me in Storyline 360 in both Flash and HTML5 outputs. Thanks,Matt

Leslie, Thank you very much for your quick reply. Please give me an update when it's available.

This is also an issue for us as, like everyone else, we are migrating our courses to HTML5. We are using SL3 not 360. Again, the issue is not with the java script per se, but with the javascript under HTML5. To test this, you need to generate the module in HTML mode only, no flash fall back, and then test it in a browser with flash disabled. I've attached a test module that uses various attempts at setting the module to complete : lmsAPI.SCORM_SetCompleted(); SetStatus("completed"); lmsAPI.SCORM_SetPassed(); lmsAPI.SetReachedEnd(); And I have also used both methods for connecting the LMS : var lmsAPI = parent var lmsApi=[object Window] None of these options work under HTML5. Articulate, this is a real issue as almost all of our modules use this way of determining completion since counting slides is too simplistic, and not all modules have quizzes. This has been talked about in the forum for several years now. It's pretty inexcusable that there is not a solution.

Hi Ashley, It took me a while to find this post, I was trying to figure out why SetStatus was not working for me. Is there an update on this issue? Thanks

Hello Gilbert and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

Sorry to hear that you ran into this issue as well, but glad you found this thread.

I do not have an update to share at this time, but it certainly is on our internal radar as Ashley shared above.

This thread is flagged for update as well.

Hi Ashley and Leslie,

Has any progress been made on this? I emailed back and forth with one of your engineers in April and have not heard anything since.

This was a very useful feature in the older versions of Storyline, and it's quite a pain to work around this for every one of our Storyline 360 courses.

Please fix ASAP.

Hi Matt - Thanks for popping in to follow up. I see you reached out in your case as well.

As Miker mentioned, this is on our radar and I know it has been the discussion internally as well. That being said, I have nothing to share at this time, but hopefully soon.

Hello Matt,

See if this works for you. I tested this in the Scorm Cloud. I tried both Html5 only output and Flash only output.

    Sorry, I don't know why it isn't working for you. I just tested it in the SCORM Cloud and it works fine for me.
    
    I have attached a short video that shows it working.

Hello,

Has there been an update on this? I tried what Russell posted above (as well as the SetStatus("completed") which I've always used in the past) and it didn't mark as complete on Articulate Online.

Thanks!

  Hi there, Emilee. Were you using the JavaScript method for setting completion successfully in an LMS environment, or in Articulate Online, in the past?
  
  I don't have any news yet about this functionality in Articulate 360, but I wanted to get some clarification from you on how you were using it previously. Thanks!

Hi Crystal,

We were previously using this on Adobe Captivate Prime (with Storyline 2) and it was working great. We then moved to a new LMS, SuccessFactors, around the same time we started using Storyline 360 and now the JavaScript method is no longer working. The learners are still marked as incomplete after they reach the slide with the JavaScript trigger.

We were testing it on Articulate Online to see if it was an issue with the LMS or the actual module, since we are still getting used to using SuccessFactors.

The module that I am working with has 73 slides, but there are 4 different branches the learner can choose to go down. As a work around, we are having the module be marked complete when they complete 25 out of the 73 slides, which would be the shortest route. This isn't ideal and will work for this particular module, however, we will need JavaScript (or similar feature, suggestions?) for future modules.

Thank you!
