Inserting previous answer?

I'm trying to create a printable certificate at the end of the quiz. At the beginning of the quiz it asks for the individual to type their name, and, ideally, I'd like to be able to snag that information and insert it as a textbox into the certificate at the end. I can't seem to figure out if question piping is possible in Presenter, and if so, how to go about it.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Re: Inserting previous answer?

I know you can get that information, as it is a variable that is stored by Presenter. I would start with looking at the output of Presenter. In the  trackdata.xml file located in the metadata folder, you can see all your question and their responses. In the example below I only have the fill in the blank, and you can see that the response is <response is="1">

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<tracking-metadata generator="Presenter ver 7.0" version="1.0">
    <objective id="Quiz10004" max-score="0" passing-score="0" min-score="0">
        <name>Quiz</name>
        <interactions>
            <interaction id="Interaction10015" QUniqId="10015" type="fill-in" score="0">
                <title>Hello, my name is &lt;1&gt; 

</title>
                <responses>
                    <response id="1">
                        <option id="0">*</option>
                    </response>
                </responses>
            </interaction>
        </interactions>
    </objective>
</tracking-metadata>

DarkSlide632,

Are you planning on launching the file from an LMS?  If so, which one?

Thanks, Jorma! That is a start. I knew the information existed, but I wasn't sure where.

Andrew, I am not. Unfortunately I'm not an expert, but I am the most competent with a computer, so I just get told to make stuff happen.

FWIW, This is easy to do in Captivate. Captivate allows you create your own variables and then call on them later on. We have used this functionality to get someone's name and then populate it later in the presentation.

Oh! Thanks for that bit of information. I haven't used captivate before, but we have it, so maybe I'll have a bit more luck. Thanks!

I got it to work using Captivate. Thanks!

Nick,

If you'd like to accomplish this with Presenter - let me know.  I have a solution.
