Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 87	+x Dave - 5/20/2024 +x EN - 5/20/2024 Hi everyone, I'm new to Inquisit and need help with randomizing the order of surveys for each respondent. Here’s what I want to achieve: Respondents read an explanation followed by a training phase. They then complete N surveys. Each survey consists of 3 surveypages presented in a fixed order. I want to randomize the order of these N surveys for each respondent. I’ve seen references to using <batch> and <trial> commands, and suggestions about storing each survey in different .iqx files, but I'm not sure how to proceed, especially with more than 20 surveys. Attached is an example with 2 surveys, currently in the fixed order: Explanation → Training → Survey 1 → Survey 2. I need to randomize the order of Survey 1 and Survey 2. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance. <survey> elements are special types of <block> elements. You randomize them just like any other kind of block, i.e. via the <expt> element's /blocks attribute. <expt example> / blocks = [1 = survey.INTRO; 2-3 = noreplace(survey.SCENARIO_01, survey.SCENARIO_02)] </expt> Thank you for your prompt response! I'm glad I asked. That was simpler than I thought, and it's doing exactly what I needed.
