Hello,

I can't get my scripts to generate a summarydata file (they only do the default data file) on the inquisit web interface. I've done this successfully before, so I'm not sure what's wrong. I'm using a mac running 10.8.4, if that matters. 

I've tried this test script - but it still only generates the default file, and does not generate a second summary data file. Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Suzanne

<dropdown test>

/ caption = "testing"

/ options = ("yes", "no")

</dropdown>

<surveypage test1>

/questions = [1 = test]

</surveypage>

<survey testSeptember>

/pages = [1 = test1]

</survey>

<summarydata SummaryTest>

/columns = [script.subjectid, script.starttime, dropdown.test.response]

</summarydata>

<summarydata> is supposed to provide a *single line* data summary. Since <survey> data files (a) are single-line anyway and (b) survey data output cannot be customized at present, writing a summary data file does not work. You can easily see the difference when you use <block> instead of <survey>:

<dropdown test>
/ caption = "testing"
/ options = ("yes", "no")
</dropdown>

<surveypage test1>
/questions = [1 = test]
</surveypage>

<block testSeptember>
/trials = [1 = test1]
</block>

<summarydata SummaryTest>
/columns = [script.subjectid, script.starttime, dropdown.test.response]
</summarydata>
