Setting up field experiment with mobile devices

Hello!
I was wondering if there is a way to avoid having to enter the experiment link in the Inquisit app every time a new testing session starts? When I go to "tests" in the application, it shows me the history of previous attempts. However, when I click on play it overrides the previous ID and therefore I end up with two data sets with the same ID.
Clicking on a link is not an option, as this is the pre-test and would need to be prepared as well. Since I am testing with children, I am looking for a simple solution. I am working with iPads, therefore with the iOS version of Inquisit.

Thank you for your help!

Best,
Michaela

When you start an experiment via the tests tab in the player, you have several options:
(1) Enter an ID, click play.

(2) Use the last ID again.

(3) Generate a random ID:

Thank you! I didn't realize that you could manipulate the ID in the tests tab.
