Page times data

[Luu Arroyo]

Hi!

Are the times spent on each page recorded automatically or how can I record them?

I found this, but am not sure if it's updated.

https://www.reddit.com/r/oTree/comments/967hzk/otree_tools_tracking_time_and_focus_on_a_page/

I downloaded the file in the data section of otree but it looks weird (for example, there's only 3 rows, and there should be 10). Could it be that I stop the server and restarted it before downloading the file?

Thanks a lot!!

ps: What is page_index and epoch_time?

[Luu Arroyo]

I figured out page_index

There is info here and a script you can download: https://otree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin.html#export-data

Thank you!

How much time should I wait to be sure I get the complete data of PageTimes?

I get the first participant complete and then just part of the second.

I have to wait a few minutes, without restarting the server? Is that the only way?

[Chris @ oTree]

If your data is not all appearing immediately, wait a couple minutes then create a demo session and play through a few pages. This is because the data gets written out in batches, not on every single page submission.

thanks!

Hi all,

May I ask a follow-up question on this thread: Chirs, you mentioned the script at  https://otree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin.html#export-data

Could you please give a brief instruction how I could run this script? Should it be put in the settings.py?

Many thanks,

Daisy

[Chris @ oTree]

The instructions are inside that file.

Hi Daisy,

For the command python pagetimes.py infile.csv outfile.cs,

You run in the terminal.

All you need to do is:

1) Download the pagetimes.py file to your project directory

2) Download the "infile" .csv file from oTree's "data' tab (at the bottom of the screen) to an appropriate location

3) run the command in your terminal

As best practice, I wouldn't download the file to your project directory, in case it's a public repository. For instance, I might do the following:

python pagetimes.py C:\Users\dalla\Desktop\infile.csv C:\Users\dalla\Desktop\outfile.csv

Hi Chris,

I am wondering why the seconds_on_page is not in the dataset by default (I think it was in earlier versions of otree?!).

If storing just the time stamp is less demanding for the server, isn't it possible to run the script automatically when downloading the data from the server?

Best,

Louis

I did consider doing that, but in this case I prefer to keep the complexity out of otree-core. Plus, people might want to modify the script for their own needs, i.e. to measure/aggregate time differently. Providing it as a script means people can easily see how it works and modify it.

[Chris @ oTree]

Another thing that may have factored into this decision (if I recall correctly) is that i wanted it to be transparent. Because there are different ways of defining "time on a page" and I remember some people misinterpreting that, so providing the source allows people to inspect how it is calculating it.

Thanks for the quick feedback, Chris!

It seems like the page time data is no longer available. Could someone direct me of how to perform these same saves with the newest updates? It seems to only offer me the option of "Plain" or "Excel" output data and the pagetimes command is not working based on these outputs.

[Chris @ oTree]

It’s still there. Click “Data” in the black header bar.
