Web View Steps

Web View steps allow you to present customized steps within a MyDataHelps survey. Although you can use most SDK methods from Web View steps, these methods are specifically used to control the logic of your custom step.

Complete a Web View Step

MyDataHelps.completeStep(optionalAnswerText)

Complete the current survey step. If called with a parameter, that parameter is saved as the answer for the step. If no parameter is supplied, then an empty string is saved as the answer. You can also store structured data such as JSON, as long as it’s formatted as a string. See Saving Survey Results for details.

Parameters

answerText string

The single answer to record for this step. If omitted, an empty string is recorded as the answer for the step.
