You can add a form to collect the info about a user who takes a simulation. It will display before the start of the simulation.
To fine-tune the form, do the following:
- Click the Properties button on iSpring TalkMaster toolbar.
- Check the box Ask for user information and click Customize.
- The Customize User Information window will open.
- Choose the fields that you want to add to the form.
- Click OK to apply the changes.
To customize the form select the following details:
The field title in the entry form.
In the “Condition” field you can set requirement to filling out each certain field.
- Mandatory – the user won’t be able to start the simulation before he fills out this form.
- Optional – a user can leave the field blank.
- Do not ask – the field won’t be included in the form.
You can define the initial value for each field. If the field should have some certain meaning, you can specify it in the Value field. In this case the user won’t have to fill the field by himself/herself. You can define two or more values for one field. In this case the user will be able to choose one of the options in the drop-down list in the info form.
Each field corresponds with a certain variable. The variable name can’t be empty and should contain only Latin script, numbers and underscores.
The info the user enters before the start of the simulation will be saved in the corresponding variables. You can use these variables both in the simulation messages and in the report.
For example, to use the user name in the simulation messages, enter the variable name with percent sign both before and after the variable name (%USER_NAME%). iSpring TalkMaster will replace %USER_NAME% with the name that was entered by the user.
Variables can also be used in the Customize Simulation Report window.
