Step Files

Research projects often require participants to complete various tasks. HIPPO Gym supports this need by providing a step system that delivers step specific content to participants in the order defined in the config.yml file.

These steps could be consent forms, questionnaires, surveys, instructions, etc. There are example html files located in the StepFiles/ directory. Steps are delivered from AWS lambda as raw html and rendered by javascript in the front-end. To change the steps simply create a html file, put it in the StepFiles/ directory and put the full filename in the correct step number in config.yml

There is no limit to the number of steps.

When forms are submitted by a participant, the form data is saved in your AWS bucket/projectId/users in a userId.json file along with other context data from their browser requests.
