I am connecting Inquisit to SONA as described in a previous forum post: https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic26185.aspx

From what I understand, the SONA IDs will be recorded automatically. 

However, I will also have participants that do the experiment from outside SONA, using just the Millisecond link. In that case, what's the best way to record their participant numbers? Should I create a separate experiment for them? Will their participant numbers be recorded separately? Or should I just ask for SONA IDs within the experiment to avoid this problem?

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this! Thanks.

I would create a separate experiment for them if you have that option. Then just let Inquisit generate random subject IDs. The reason why a separate experiment is preferable over anything else here is that SONA's crediting of course will not work for non-SONA IDs and participants that do not come from SONA would be confused b/c they'd be redirected to SONA and get an error at the end.

Apologies, still have a question related to this. If participants are automatically redirected to SONA once they complete a study, I assume they are automatically granted credit. However, I have an informed consent radio button within the script that uses abort.script() if the participant clicks on No. But this seems to just take participants to the end of script and thanks them for their participation. Is there any way to make sure these participants are not granted credit?

A couple of options:
(1) Do the consent outside of th Inquisit, just like all the library demos do. You can upload a HTML file containing all the pre-study information and the launch page will display that along with accept / decline buttons.





The advantage here is that people who don't wish to participate won't even have to download, install, or start the app.

(2) If, for some reason, you must or absolutely want to do all the consent stuff in Inquisit, select the default finish page in the web settings. You run a bunch of tasks via a batch script, so use /onscriptend in the <batch> elements to set the defaults.finishpage to the SONA crediting URL for those participants who advanced to the end of the study. Something like this:
