Documentation Tool
The Documentation Tool content type builds a guided, multi-page form that walks students through documenting a piece of work — with optional goals and goal-assessment pages — and always ends with an export page to download the resulting document. It uses no generated images, so the Generate images option of the AI modal has no effect on it.
AI-generated configuration
| Setting | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of pages | How many pages the tool contains. | Any number — the type has no cap; an exact requested count (e.g. 25) is generated exactly, without trimming | 3 to 8 pages when no count is requested |
| Page types | The kind of each page. | Standard page, goals page, goals assessment page, export page | Standard pages plus the mandatory export page |
| Input fields per standard page | Text fields where the student writes. | At least one text field per section | At least 1 field |
| Field lines | Height (number of lines) of each input field. | Number of lines matching what is requested (e.g. a wide writing space) | Sized by the AI |
| Required fields | Whether a field must be filled in. | Required / optional | Optional |
| Export page | Final page from which the student downloads the document. | Always present | Mandatory, at the end |
Generated content
- Standard pages, one per section, each with at least one text field with its title and instructions.
- A goals page where students define their goals, when the flow calls for it.
- A goals assessment page where students rate how far they got on each goal.
- A final export page — always generated — from which the student downloads the resulting document.
Rules and behavior
- The export page is mandatory: it is always present at the end, whatever the requested structure or page count.
- Goals-page conversion rule: if the prompt asks for a goals assessment but no goals page exists before it, the goals assessment page is converted into a standard page with its own text fields, and the tool remains valid.
- Input fields honor the requested sizing (number of lines) and required status (e.g. student data marked as mandatory).
- There is no page cap: an exact requested count (e.g. twenty-five pages) is generated exactly, without trimming, keeping the export page at the end.
- The type carries no generated images, so the Generate images option does not influence the result.
- With a syllabus or source document uploaded, page titles, instructions, and fields are anchored strictly to the document, with traceable terms and no invented sections.
Example prompts
Without syllabus
Produces a documentation tool with standard pages (at least one text field per section) and the mandatory final export page:
I need an H5P documentation tool that guides students in planning a research project: research question, theoretical framework, methodology, and timeline. At the end they must be able to download their document.
Produces a documentation tool with a goals page, standard pages, a goals assessment page, and the export page at the end:
Prepare an H5P documentation tool for the practice journal of the photography course. Have the student first define their goals for the week, document their photo sessions, and at the end rate how much they progressed on each goal, before exporting the journal.
With syllabus
Produces a valid documentation tool where, with no prior goals page, the goals assessment page becomes a standard page, with the export page still present:
Make me an H5P documentation tool for reflecting at the close: just one page where the student rates how well they mastered the topics of the complete document I uploaded, and the export of the document.
Produces a documentation tool with exactly twenty-five pages, one per section of the uploaded document, keeping the export page at the end:
I need an H5P documentation tool with twenty-five pages to document step by step all the sections of the document I uploaded, one page per section.
