Submitting results

You can enable the program to submit the results of a test or survey using a custom CGI script program or directly to Google Drive, Google's online storage system. If the project resides within a learning management system (LMS), results are automatically submitted to the LMS, and no additional information is needed here.

When submitting test or survey data to a CGI program, the CGI program can issue a response. You can specify whether you want to enable the program to receive a response from the CGI program. If enabled, the response is received and stored as a text string in the specified variable.

Templates are available online for submitting test or survey results to Google Drive. To locate the templates, visit the Google Drive site at https://drive.google.com/templates?view=public# and search for "lectora" in the Search Templates field.

To custom-configure how results are submitted:

Double-click the graphic of the test or survey. Alternatively, you can right-click the test or survey in the Project Explorer and select Properties.
For tests, enable the Custom Results Submission check box in the Results Submission group on the Results ribbon. For surveys, enable the Custom Results Submission check box in the Results Submission group on the Behavior & Results ribbon.
Use the Submit To field to select the destination of your results as either Custom Script or Google Drive.

Click Settings to configure your submission settings. For custom scripts, specify the CGI application to which you are submitting results in the Submit To field on the Submit to Custom Script window and select whether the submission is done using a POST or GET method.

The GET method can only support the submission of 256 characters of data. If you have a large test or are submitting a large amount of variable data, use the POST method instead.

To configure the program so that a response is issued from CGI submission, enable the Receive Response check box in the Response group. Use the Variable to Receive Response drop-down list to select the variable into which you want to store the response. Alternatively, click the New Variable sub-menu option to create a new variable in which to store the CGI response. The response is stored as a text string in the specified variable.

For submitting to Google Drive, specify the URL for the location within Google Drive in the Submit to Google Drive window.

The results are submitted when the test or survey is completed.
