Part 1: Simple survey¶

(A video of this tutorial is on YouTube )

Let’s create a simple survey – on the first page, we ask the participant for their name and age, then on the next page, display this info back to them.

Player model¶

In the sidebar, go to the Player model. Let’s add 2 fields:

name (StringField, meaning text characters)
age (IntegerField)

Pages¶

This survey has 2 pages:

Page 1: players enter their name and age
Page 2: players see the data they entered on the previous page

So, create 2 pages in your page_sequence: Survey and Results.

Page 1¶

First let’s define Survey. This page contains a form, so set form_model to player and for form_fields, select name and age.

Then, set the template’s title to Enter your information, and set the content to:

Please enter the following information.

{{ formfields }}

{{ next_button }}

Page 2¶

Now we define Results.

Set the template’s title block to Results and set the content block to:

<p>Your name is {{ player.name }} and your age is {{ player.age }}.</p>

{{ next_button }}

Define the session config¶

In the sidebar, go to “Session Configs”, create a session config, and add your survey app to the app_sequence.

Download and run¶

Download the otreezip file and follow the instructions on how to install oTree and run the otreezip file.
