Setting up field experiment with mobile devices

Mi_Ar — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 12:04:03 GMT

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

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

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:
