Editing the Test Results Skin Component

The autogenerated test results page includes many sections that are visible by default. You can use the Test Results Skin Editor to determine which sections display in the output, and also to customize the look and feel of the test results page.

How to Add the Test Results Skin Component

Adding a test results skin component to your project is not necessary in order for the eLearning course to work. But if you want to control the look and feel of the results, then the test results skin component allows for its customization.

  1. Do one of the following, depending on the part of the user interface you are using:

    • Ribbon Select Project > New > Add Skin.

    • Right-Click From the Project Organizer, right-click the Skins folder, and select Add Skin.

  2. From the Add File dialog, expand Factory Templates, and select HTML5 Component – Test Results. Give it a file name (e.g., Results), and click Add. The Test Results Skin Editor opens.

    • Border Edge Fields (Top, Right, Bottom, Left) You can add a border line around any of the edges of the element. You can use any of the following.
