separate email list

DahmSF

Dear developers,

it would be great if the was an option in JATOS to click on if one intends to ask for email adresses at the end of the experiment that creates a second data set (a list of emails) that is independent from the actual data set (due to anonymity reasons of the real data set).

JATOS is great! Thank you!

Just an idea for future developments to make it even greater 😄

Hi Stephan,

JATOS tries to get out of the way in all things that run in the browser. JATOS handles the backend side, like database, user and worker management, file storage and delivery. Other tools like OSWeb or lab.js or jsPsych handle the browser side - or one programs it themselves (I think the best). Although this is not strictly true anymore since JATOS let's you add a 'Cancel' button and shows a spinning wheel with 'Waiting ...' if there are not all result data sent yet. But asking for email addresses would go much too far.

But luckily I can achieve this yourself by adding a second component to your JATOS study. This component's purpose could be just to collect the email address. Then the address is stored in the result data in JATOS database but separate from your actual experiment's result data since it runs in a different component and component result data are stored separately. Then you can export the email-component's result data separately: just use the 'Component Results' button.

Best,

Kristian
