Hello,

I'd be very grateful for any advice on using session IDs in Inquisit Web. I want to use the 'sessions' element in a batch script, as described here, but I can't get this to work. According to that webpage, "Inquisit Web tracks the session number for each participant automatically so that the first time a participant runs the experiment, their session number is 1, the second time is 2, etc", but that doesn't actually seem to be the case. I tried running a simple batch script in which participants run one task during session 1 and a second task during session 2, but no matter how many times I run it (with the same subjectid and groupid) both tasks are presented, one after another.

<batch>
/ sessions = (1 of 2)
/ file ="ospan_short.iqx"
</batch>

<batch>
/ sessions = (2 of 2)
/ file="enumeration.iqx"
</batch>

Am I missing a step here? Do I need to do something else to get the program to record the session ID or recognise the 'sessions' command?

Thanks for any advice!
