Text Entry on Ipad

I am having issues getting any text entry fields to work on ipad.  Scorm into our LMS.  HELP!! 

  • Hi,

    I am wondering if this problem will also be pushed out for an update in SL3? I am trying to create a Test for an application fast track and it works on the PC's, Tablets but on iPhone's I have the problem where you click in a text entry field and it will jump to a different field.

    I need to get this up and running ASAP or I am going to have to rebuild the whole project in a different piece of software altogether which I would like to prevent as I enjoy working with SL.

    Many thanks

     

  • Hi Aaron, 

    So sorry for the trouble this is causing you! We do plan to fix this issue in the next update of Storyline 3. I don't have an ETA on that release date just yet, but we'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

      Thanks Alyssa.

      For now I have got round it by downloading a trial version of 360 and opened my SL3 file and published it and that so far has done the job. 

      Hopefully the SL3 update will be pushed out before that trial expires.

  • Good morning everyone,

    Could you please inform me whether this problem is also fixed for SL2? Today our learner is reporting that the text entry field is not working properly - although it does not have the problem when I'm doing the test. I did the test with him and I can fill in the entry (with a few seconds delays on the player). His cursor jumps from the field that he cannot reach and sometimes they cannot fill in texts into the corresponding field. 

    He gives a vivid description as :

    First Field - fiwls opens but will not display what is typed

    Second Field- works

    Third Field- will not open the field keeps skipping it

    Forth Field - ok

    Fifth Field - not able to open and type

    Sixth Field- ok

    Seventh Field -- skips unable to type

    Eighth Field - skips unable to type

    Nineth Field - Good

    10th field - skips unable to type

    11th - ok

     After our call I tested also on another ipad and I experience similar issues during 2 of 4 attempts. However, I was able to finish that after leaving the player opening for a few seconds while it's not working on his end even if he waits.

    Thanks,

    Xinru

     

     

  • Hi Xinru,

    Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that you're running into a similar issue with Storyline 2.

    So it sounds like you are unable to get the focus in all the fields on the slide, correct?

    What iOS were you testing with on the iPads?

    With your permission, I'd like you to share your project file with our support engineers to investigate what's happening. You can share it privately by uploading it here. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.

      Thank you Leslie for following up, I will share the file shortly.

      The learner should be using IOS 9.3.5

      Currently I am not sure the version of his Ipad model.

      Thanks,

      Xinru Yang

  • Thanks, Xinru.

    I see where you were able to reach out to the support team and Shiela is assisting you.

  • Latest Storyline360 on older iPad with iOS 10 do have this old problem again. Inputfields cannot be set and used.
