I would love to know if there is a way to have more than 10 options for matching (I only need 12, as I am trying to make a cranial nerves quiz)! Thank you!
Hi William! 10 is the current max limit for the Matching Type question. You can try splitting up your matching type questions into 6 and 6 to fit your 12 item requirement.
In the meantime, I'll let the team know you'd like to see a higher limit for Matching Type items. If we make any changes that help, you'll hear about it!
Looking through the forum for a workaround for this now. I just simply CANNOT understand why Articulate has spent years doing such a poor job of implementing relatively simple requests from their users. I've run into so many issues that have a large group of vocal users asking for them over the course of years, but no implementation from Articulate. Sure makes one want to spend their time looking into a more customer-responsive authoring tool instead.
Increasing the character limit in the matching activity seems to be an issue - it's particularly problematic for translated content. Perhaps having the ability to embed an image into the match tiles could be a workaround - that way we could embed an image of our text into each match tile.
Hi Taylor! You won't be able to format the question to import from an Excel template in Rise. You would need to type in your matching questions in the fields labeled Match and Choice as seen in Adam's video.
I know this thread was 2yrs ago, but I am having the issue where the choices are not randomizing and require them to be answered in the order that they were entered in the edit field. I have 6 questions, with 2 categories. I want the user to drag the choice to the correct category. This worked initially, but now it is counting answers incorrect if they are not answered in correct order. If someone can help me I'd appreciate it!
Hi Laura! Did you use a Sorting Block in Rise 360 to create this interaction? If so, could you please share a screenshot of how your categories are set up?
I request Articulate team to take a prompt action into their development of their tool for basic requirements, such as increasing the character limit in a box and being able to to use more than 10 options (boxes) for Matching questions type.
If we were only to make Single-choice or Multiple choice questions, it could've been done on most of our LMS'es, but why we are with Articulate is to be able to have more flexibility in our Learning content design and development.
Appreciate a prompt and a real action on this by Articulate team. Thank you!
Thank you Karl! Hope more characters will be allowed to be put in! Another question: In the fill-the-blank quiz type, is there a way that I could set up that any answer is correct for an open question?
We can't set up a fill-in-the-blank question so that it can accept any answers as correct. You will have to anticipate all possible answers by adding as many acceptable answers as you can.
Hello Alicia! The reason you're seeing numbers in your Matching Activity is that your quiz setting is set to Reveal All Answers. So RIse will show you the correct order of answers.
If you wish to change it to a correct or incorrect mark instead, change the setting to Show Incorrect Answers with Feedback.
Or you can choose to Hide All Answers if you don't want to show any feedback.
How do you actually create/edit the questions? I see the video here? Is there a step by step from beginning to end and how you edit if need be? Thanks,

Hi Diane! Currently, the matches aren't evaluated until you submit your response in the quiz.
If you're looking for an exercise with more immediate feedback, the sorting activity block will "bounce" the cards out if they aren't the right match!

Hi,
So the 90 character issue was reported here over 3 years ago and is still an issue?
I am needing up to 120 to fit my definitions into the matching blocks. Is there a workaround?
Also, I would be interested to find out why this hasn't been addressed for 3 years?
How can I format this question to import from the excel template. Everytime I have tried it tells me a different error.

More than 90 characters.
It seems that there is a limited number of letters we can put in the Matches column. Is that correct?
Hi Robert,
Yes, there is a limit, As I recall it's a 90 character limit for each item.
Thank you Karl! Hope more characters will be allowed to be put in! Another question: In the fill-the-blank quiz type, is there a way that I could set up that any answer is correct for an open question?

How to incorporate matching questions?
How do you actually create/edit the questions? I see the video here? Is there a step by step from beginning to end and how you edit if need be? Thanks,
Hi there Trisstar! Here's how to add Matching Questions to your course:
1. Add a Quiz to your course
2. Select Matching Questions at the bottom left side
3. Click on the fields to add/edit the answers
Hope this helps you!
I have 12 terms I want to match but seem to be cut off at 10????? Is there a workaround for this?
Hi Jamie,
Ten is the maximum.
Thanks Karl,
Is there a workaround?
The workaround will be to do it in Storyline and embed it into your Rise course.
