Are there settings in a quiz to change the ability to retake a quiz? I have a course that seems to kick people out after retaking a quiz a number of times. I know I can change so each question can be retried more than once, but not the entire quiz. I have each question set to 1 attempt.
Storyline 2 had a quiz settings button, but I don't know where it is in 360.
I saw that before. I'm actually looking at having unlimited re-tries. In Storyline 2 there was a place to change settings. Did that go away in 360? Is the default "unlimited"? Does it automatically add that setting when you put the "Retry Quiz" button in?
By checking the Retry quiz option on the results slide the user should be able to keep retaking the quiz - unless you have set a variable to stop them after so many tries is that not happening for you?
I have a restricted menu that allows users to return to parts of the lesson they have already visited, including a mid-lesson quiz. I don't have that button. When a user uses the menu to return to the quiz, what happens? Is there not a setting in there somewhere that allows/disallows taking the quiz?
In Storyline 2 there is an Options tab on the Results Slide Properties dialog that has a check box for "Allow user to review quiz" and "Allow user to retry quiz." This tab is not available in Storyline 360.
I understand that the retry button takes the user back to the beginning of the quiz and resets the score. But I am interested in the permission (if you will) that allows or disallows the user to retake the quiz.
In Storyline 2 if the retry quiz button was not checked, the user could return to the quiz, by using the back buttons or menu, and the quiz would be "locked" with the users answers displaying.
Here is my question: How do you do this in Articulate 360?
I understand that adding the button executes the "Review Quiz" action.
This is a screenshot from Storyline 2. I am looking for these permissions, not a trigger that moves the user around in the lesson. If I am misunderstanding the function of these two check boxes, please feel free to explain them to me.
I made a 3-minute video which explains the difference in how the Retry Quiz and Review Quiz permissions are displayed in Storyline 2 and Storyline 360. Check it out here!
In essence, there are no "permissions" in Storyline 360. Including the button on a slide gives learners permission to review or retry a quiz, and removing the button removes permission to review or retry a quiz.
This is very helpful. I have actually been creating my own Retry and Review buttons in Storyline 2 using triggers. I see what they do (reset results, jump to slide, review, etc.) but I interpreted that check box as being the ultimate permission.
I guess I was hung up on the word "allow."
Upgrades of my favorite software can be traumatic (breathe in bag). Thank you so much for your help.
In 360, where did they move the checkbox to show/hide the correct and incorrect answers in the Review? I would think it would be in the Results Tool Design tab, but I don't see it there.
What's the difference of the quiz trigger settings, "Submit Interaction" and "Submit Results"? We are experiencing some of our users not being able to get pass this drag and drop, but, in the LMS we see it as passed? Help! I'm trying to figure out if we have the settings wrong. Thanks!
The Submit Interaction trigger should be used on quiz slides, like drag and drop slides. This trigger marks the single quiz slide as correct or incorrect.
The Submit Results trigger should be used on the Results Slide. This trigger sends the overall quiz score to your LMS.
I'd be happy to take a closer look at your quiz and double check the triggers you're using. If you don't mind sharing your file with me, you can attach it right here!
How about the other questions? Do you think the unassigned triggers would cause a problem? We have another course that this is happening with and before I go look into the course files, I wanted your expertise opinion 😉
I thought this was the reason why the NEXT button grayed out. Turns out it’s something else. The settings are fine. But, thank you for continuing to troubleshoot this issue.
Hi! I am having a similar issue with 360. I have all of my slides set to reset state, I have a button to "start quiz" (pre-screen before quiz) that resets the results slide before retaking quiz. The issue is that the answers are reset but they are not selectable on the second time around. I am looking for a place to allow users to retake quiz but see the screenshot of my results slide?? I don't have the properties gear or any selectable options as shown in your short video. Where can I check to make sure I have the retake quiz option enabled?
You don't see the the properties gear or any selectable options in that window because you're using Storyline 360, and those features are in Storyline 2.
We didn't remove those features in Storyline 360, we just changed their location. 😊
You mentioned you have a Start Quiz button 1 slide before the first quiz question. This button should have 2 triggers associated with it in this order:
Reset results [results slide] when the user clicks the button.
Jump to slide [next slide] when the user clicks the button.
You want to be sure the 'reset results' trigger is on top; otherwise, the trigger won't fire.
I hope this is still a live thread - I did have a question when the results slide submits a score to the your LMS; does it only submit once or if you retake the quiz will it resubmit the updated score to the LMS?

Hey there Steve!
Follow this tutorial to limit the number of quiz attempts in Storyline 360. And if you get stuck along the way, let me know! I'd be happy to help. :)

Hi Steve
the unlimited tries is on a slide by slide basis.

This behaviour is same in SL2 and SL360
Hello,
I am having this same issue. I do not see in the "Retry Quiz" option on the results slide. I can't find it anywhere in Storyline 360.
Hey John! Check out the Results Tools: Design tab. Then click the Retry Button option, and click-and-drag to add it to the slide. I hope that helps!
Ok, thanks.

Hi John,
You'll only see the Results Tools: Design tab when you have the Results Slide open. Does your course have a Results Slide?
To give learners the option to go back and change quiz answers before submitting, follow this tutorial for Submitting Answers All at Once.
Yes, there is a results slide in my project.
In Storyline 2 there is an Options tab on the Results Slide Properties dialog that has a check box for "Allow user to review quiz" and "Allow user to retry quiz." This tab is not available in Storyline 360.
I understand that the retry button takes the user back to the beginning of the quiz and resets the score. But I am interested in the permission (if you will) that allows or disallows the user to retake the quiz.
In Storyline 2 if the retry quiz button was not checked, the user could return to the quiz, by using the back buttons or menu, and the quiz would be "locked" with the users answers displaying.
Here is my question: How do you do this in Articulate 360?
Hi John
do you mean 'review' quiz which shows the correct/incorrect banner on the bottom and a tick next to the correct answer?
In 360 the Review button is available when you are on the Results slide
Results Tools: Design tab - see Alyssa's screen image above.
I understand that adding the button executes the "Review Quiz" action.
This is a screenshot from Storyline 2. I am looking for these permissions, not a trigger that moves the user around in the lesson. If I am misunderstanding the function of these two check boxes, please feel free to explain them to me.

You're welcome John! I'm glad the video was helpful.
I completely understand about getting used to the lay of the land in Storyline 360. But my gut tells me you'll soon love it even more than Storyline 2. 💙
Anytime you need help, you know where to find us!
In 360, where did they move the checkbox to show/hide the correct and incorrect answers in the Review? I would think it would be in the Results Tool Design tab, but I don't see it there.
Hi Diane
double click the 'Review results' trigger and the option to select/deselect is there

Hi Kimberly,
You'll need a Submit Interaction trigger on every quiz slide, no matter what kind of quiz slide it is.
Are you seeing "Submit Interaction [unassigned] when the user clicks the Submit button" on some of your quiz slides?
No. They aren’t seeing anything.
I thought this was the reason why the NEXT button grayed out. Turns out it’s something else. The settings are fine. But, thank you for continuing to troubleshoot this issue.
Hi Kimberly,
I'm here to help in any way I can! If you need any more help with this, please send over your file. I'd be happy to take a closer look.

Hi Julie,
You would want to enable the Retry button on your Results Slide.
Take a look at this documentation.
I hope this is still a live thread - I did have a question when the results slide submits a score to the your LMS; does it only submit once or if you retake the quiz will it resubmit the updated score to the LMS?
