Subject ID from Qualtrics

Hello,

I am new to this software. I was collecting data using a Qualtrics Panel. The participants will be transferred to Inqusit for taking an IAT and then transferred back. I needed to capture the participant ID from the URL itself. While I understand how to do it from the below support document. https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/howto/interopsurveys.htm 

However, Qualtrics can relay upto 4 participants ID such that it has "ID1" , "ID2", "ID3", "ID4". Would Inquisit allow to me capture upto 4 ID's? If yes, how do I set that up?

Thank you!

Could you please elaborate on this? Meaning: Are ID1, ID2, etc. all distinct query parameter *names*? If so, what do they signify? Or do ID1 to ID4 signify different *values* of a single query parameter?

In general, Inquisit can _capture_ the *values* of at most *two* query parameters and use it in a given web *script* -- one query parameter's value can be used as the subject ID, another query parameter's value can be used as the group ID (usually used for between-subjects condition assignment, and should hence be numerical).

Regardless, however, you can pass *more* than two query parameters to the launch page -- and all those parameters will be preserved upon redirection back to e.g. Qualtrics after the Inquisit Web experiment.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. So I will be using only one Query and that will be called "ID1" instead of "subjectID". It would still work right? 

Additionally, I need to redirect them back to Qualtrics and they need to carry the same ID number that they came with. How do I make sure I can send that back? I have added the redirect URL to the end of the survey. However, I do I make sure the ID number is also being transmitted back to the URL?

Yes. All you need to do is tell is specify the correct name of the query parameter (ID1) in your web experiment's settings. Whether that name is "subjectid" or "id1" is immaterial.

You don't need to do anything. Merely specifying the redirect URL is enough. The launch page will automatically capture any incoming query parameters and automatically add them to the outgoing URL.
