Storyline Suspend_data decipher

I've figured out a way for you to somewhat decipher the encrypted suspend data, but you would need to have the Storyline file in order for it to be useful.  Below is an example of a course we published on our SumTotal LMS. It has six modules with four assessments and a custom results slide that checks for passing in each of the modules. I've broken up the suspend data so it's easier to read with labels showing what each value means.

This is probably session information, but I haven't figured it out yet.

This starts the slide capturing.  It's always at this point after the initial data above.  I matched these values with the slides in the .story file to make sure the number was correct.

Hope this helps someone.

Have a great day!

I just completed a project for a new customer, where I (successfully) decoded their quiz data.

Sadly, there are some module specific elements to the recorded data.  This project was to decode data for a single module they had already deployed, and they're not going to use articulate anymore - so I don't have much data to go on.

What I really need is a collection of quizzes and tests that I can use to collect and understand this data.  It took me 3 days to decode the data for my customer, and I gained some great insight.  More modules and data makes the effort easier.

If someone would like to help me get closer to a universal decoder, please contact me.

Enjoy :)

I dont believe there is a way to translate this, I agree it would be useful;

Hi Marco, 

Phil's right, and it's because Storyline compresses the suspend data to avoid exceeding data limits imposed by some learning management systems. As a result, the suspend_data string in an LMS debug log isn't human-readable. 

I also need to know how to decipher Suspend_data? I have built many reports based on Articulate presenter. Now that I have switched to Storyline I need to be able to translate the compressed suspend_data so I can update my reports?

Did anyone ever track down a tool or algorithm that can decipher the suspend_data outside of an LMS?

Hi Steve,

I haven't seen any updates to this, so I suspect not. 

It would be REALLY great to be able to know how many of the screens have been viewed AND what the score is (you can track by sides viewed OR quiz result, not both which is a disappointment.)  A way to figure out what screens have been viewed from the suspend data would be really helpful and allow us to show not just users' score but also how many screens have been viewed which is desirable in compliance situations. Please consider this another plea to release info on deciphering suspend_data.  Thanks

Hi David! Please feel free to submit that in a feature request. These go to our development team.
