Storyline Suspend_data decipher
I have exported a storyline lesson to scorm 1.2 and uploaded on my LMS.
I have see that suspend data is compressed. My questions is, there is is a way to extract info form compressed data? I need only to know last slides view and total number of slide.
Thank you

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.

Hi,
Is there any update on this. We would really like this feature also.

Hi Mark and welcome to Heroes!
You're welcome to join David and submit a feature request as well, as this is still not currently possible.

I've managed to extract the current slide number and module number from the suspend data on smaller courses but it breaks up on larger courses due to the compression mentioned above.
