Two day study

Hi, 

We have a study that is two days but only have one available URL for an Inquisit web study. Is there a way to have both scripts included in the same URL? Perhaps we can use the group ID to determine which script the subject sees (so that the same subject completes day one followed by day two)? Subjects can start day one at any time, so some subjects may be completing day one while others are on day two.

Thanks!

You need to use a batch script with either two /groups or two /sessions. In the /groups case, you can pass in the group ID via URL parameter, i.e. you can give your participants one URL that launches the day one script(s), and another that launches the day two script(s).

The /sessions option should be fairly self-explanatory. For the /groups option:

Example batch script
<batch>
/ groups = (1 of 2)
/ file = "dayone.iqx"
</batch>

<batch>
/ groups = (2 of 2)
/ file = "daytwo.iqx"
</batch>
