Text entry blank in Rise
I'm developing some material and the project owner has asked about the feasibility of allowing end users to input text which could be reported back to our LMS. We'd then view the entered text and use the information to direct future training efforts. I had to tell the owner this isn't possible now but that I'd ask if something like this was forthcoming. Are there any plans for adding text entry as a block/interaction/quiz option?

+1 for this feature request.
Also some addition as to have a table with 2 to 3 columns where there will be some text in 1st column and user can add there inputs in 2nd and/or 3rd column, which would be saved and can be edited on re-visiting the screen.
+1 for this feature request. This feature is a crucial consideration for us in choosing a development platform.
It looks like this thread has been in play for a couple of years. Is there any more information available about projected developments in this area?Hi there, Madalyn. I don't have any updates at this time. We'll let you know if that changes!
In the meantime, be sure to check out Storyline 360 as well. You can even add Storyline interactions, like a survey-style question, to your Rise 360 lessons.
Hi Crystal, are we able to get an update on this. Is this something that has been added to the development roadmap? It's something a lot of people have been asking for over the last couple of year. It would be great to actually hear from the product manager and let people know if this feature is going to be included in a release anytime soon.
When we send in feature requests it does feel a bit like sending an email into the void.
We have worked around this issue using a Storyline block, but this comes with it's own pitfals such as the large play button to activate when viewed on mobile and it not being a truly responsive experiece.
I think Articulate need to be a bit more transparent with the development of new features. We have had situations where significant money has been invested in building workarounds only to see the feature being released (seemingly out of the blue) in the next month or two. That leaves a bitter taste. With more transparency we can make better decisions for our clients.
Thanks
Hi, Sam. Thanks for sharing that context. We don't want you to work harder than you have to. We are looking at better ways to keep you informed of what features are planned for development.
Right now, a survey style interaction isn't on our immediate roadmap. I hope that helps you plan your content.
Hi all! are there any updates on the request for this feature of an open text/survey question we can capture the results from? I have the same need and wondering if there are any updates or work arounds?
Hi Melissa!
Right now, a survey style interaction isn't on our immediate roadmap. Thanks for letting us know it's important to you!
Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to create an open text entry at all (even with out ability to record response?)

Hi all, is there any chance we can get a rough timing on features that are on the road map, prioritized and not prioritized. I understand this feature (survey style input box) is on the roadmap, but not prioritized.
But, what does this mean to us in terms of seeing it rolled out? Is this late 2020, early/mid/late 2021 or beyond 2021.
The roadmap doesn't really mean anything to us without knowing when features will arrive. I understand that dates shift and release of new features can be delayed, but it would be great to have some sense of which features are scheduled for release when.
The reason I ask this is, across Storyline and Rise forums, I've seen threads where features are being asked for for several years and the same responses has to be rolled out by support each time (no fault of support, I know), but its frustrating seeing threads spanning years and not being any clearer on a release schedule.
This is just more of a general comment around the roadmap and and feature releases rather than this specific feature.
Hi, Sam — I can understand you feeling like you're in the dark about what features we're working on and when certain features might be released. While we don't have a public roadmap, we're committed to giving you the best information we can at the time, and we provide targeted release dates when possible.
Hi, Melissa — I would suggest embedding a survey from a third-party tool, like Google Forms or Survey Monkey. Simply paste the URL to the form into a multimedia embed block.
Hi there, Don!
Right now, the best way to add a survey to a Rise 360 course is to embed a survey from a third-party tool (like Google Forms or Survey Monkey) using a Multimedia Embed block.
Use this iFrame code format for easy embedding!
<iframe src="URL HERE"></iframe>Hi - Recently had a similar need - getting ungraded, open-ended answers captured in the LMS along with graded quiz questions, without impacting the graded quiz score. Implemented a solution for SCORM 1.2 and 2004 that can be added to exports from Rise. Is likely similar to Zsolt's - couple JavaScript copy/pastes and a couple settings. Reach out anytime if helpful: jdoyle@syllametrics.com .
Hi + 1 again on this - how many does it take? I've seen more +1's on this topic than anywhere else. We desperately need this feature and cannot use Rise 360 without it. Meanwhile SL 360 is not responsive - so it can't reach the vast majority of mobile users. People do need to add their own words as answers to complex topics - multiple choice won't do it. Surely it's straight forward to build? We don't need wrong /right answer either. Just consider it a pass if they do their "25 words or more'? Please!
