Variable for text entry - Software Simulations

Hi Walt!

We do not support the modification of published output. 

You should be able to edit the slide that his applies to as explained in this tutorial.

Hi Leslie,

I must not be seeing what it is that I'm looking for.

Right, I'm not trying to modify the published output at all.

What I am trying to do is edit the screen capture while still working in SL2 to change the requested field, per the on screen instructions, from "tennis" to "golf".

For example, when I preview the slide and originally I typed "tennis", the module would continue and move forward.  Now, I want the user to type in "golf" but when this happens, the INCORRECT dialog box appears and it won't continue.

How do I code SL2 do accept golf now and continue forward??

Thanks so much!

Walt

Let me add, that when I originally was doing the screen capture, the initial text entry was "tennis" and now I want to add "golf" as the correct text for the text box.

Can this be done in SL2??

Thank you!

Hi Walt! Are you not able to access the slide in your .story file to update this requirement?

Hi Leslie,

Yes, I am able to access the slide, however, I am not sure how to update the requirement.  

When I recorded the simulation, I originally entered "tennis".  Now that I have inserted the TRY-ME slides into my story,  I want to change that entry of "tennis" to "golf".  Where do I make this change because I haven't been able to find anything in the slide that says "tennis".  

I hope that makes sense.  

Would you be able to share your .story file so that I could take a look?

Hi Leslie,

Unfortunately, I can't share this.  But let me try to explain a little better....

So, I start my screen record and I move through the simulation of the software.  

At one point, I come to a text entry field (TEXTENTRY1) and I narrate to the user to enter "tennis" in the field.  I enter "tennis" in the field and continue with the simulation.  I go through some more screens and then I finish.  When I preview the simulation and come to TEXTENTRY1, if I try to enter anything other than "tennis", I get the error pop-up box.  When I enter "tennis", I am able to continue through the simulation.

Now, what I want to do is change the trigger from "tennis" to "golf" so that SL2 allows me to continue to move through the software simulation.

I haven't found anywhere in the program where I change the trigger to continue from "tennis" to "golf".  What am I doing wrong??

THANKS AGAIN!

Hi Walt,

You should see the text entry created as a part of a question slide in try/test mode. One that slide you can change what the acceptable answers are. You should note though that when doing so, the text that you have initially typed as a part of the text entry will still display on the next slide - so even if "golf" is now correct, the user will see "tennis" as that's what you typed while creating it. Take a look at the attached example I record of just starting to log into ELH - you'll see I updated my "acceptable" answer but the next slide shows how I originally entered it. 

Hope that helps. 

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for your help.  

I do have a quick question, Slide 2 covers the entire screen.  Is that normal?  Also, let's say you misspell your entry for the text box, what is the recourse for typing the correct text in the box.

In your example you sent me, I re-sized the text entry box so I could click on the Password text box, but it will not allow me to move forward.

What can I be doing wrong that I'm understanding?

This is easy right?

Thanks again,
Walt

Hi Walt,

Yes in mine it did go full screen - again it's dependent on what you're recording and how it's reading info from the browser you used. 

If you misspelled it while recording, you'd need to rerecord. If you misspelled it while entering it in as a user, you'd need to allow for more than one attempt in a test mode style scene to get the "try again" message. 

As for the password box, that is the  next slide - so once the user has entered information into this text entry it does advance them.
