In its simplest form, an IEG script consists of pages which include questions to be posed to users of IEG. The structure of the IEG script is a logical grouping of these pages so that answers to the questions can be captured effectively. Sequences of pages can be grouped into logical sections. The purpose of these sections is to give users a higher level view of the kind of information captured by the IEG script.
In addition to including a variable number of pages, each section should contain one summary page. This page is used to give feedback to the user on the information entered on the pages in a section. Summary pages typically contain clusters and lists displaying read-only versions of the answers to questions asked. The summary page will always be the last page displayed within a section and will also be displayed whenever a user clicks on the link for that section in the sidebar of the IEG Player.
To summarize, IEG scripts consist of a hierarchy of elements structured something like this:
IEG scripts are defined using XML files which match this hierarchical structure. The following section demonstrates how to organize script pages into sections in an XML file.
