Unique ID or download Personal Single Worker Comment

Marijo1606

Hi!

I created an IAT on OpenSesame and now running it on Jatos.

Since this experiment will be analysed with other data collected on SurveyCTO, I want participants to enter their Unique identifier (ID) on Jatos or OpenSesame. Is there an option to do that on Jatos?

I noticed that if I use the "Personal single worker" type I can enter a comment to create the link. In theory, I could use that to enter the unique id of each participant. But when I download the results, I don't see the "comment" variable in it. Is there any way I can download that info in the results?

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm not sure I understand correctly. If you want your participants to enter an ID the usual way would be to show them a little form where they can enter that ID and then you'd store it in JATOS with jatos.submitResultData or jatos.appendResultData.

If you let your participants go directly from this SurveyCTO (I assume it's not a JATOS component) to your JATOS experiment by clicking a link then you could pass on the ID by putting it into the link's query parameters. More information about this and how to get those query parameters back: http://www.jatos.org/jatos.js-Reference.html#original-url-query-parameters.

And to your idea to put them into the "Personal Single worker" comment. It's possible - but there are probably more elegant ways with less copy-pasting involved. Anyway you can get the comments with the "Export Metadata" button in the results page.

Best,

Also, I think that you could ask for a text input (I think it's called a form) in OSWeb. There, participants would enter their ID and that would be automatically stored with your data. But best to ask at the OSWeb forum, I remember reading that this wasn't implemented yet but I don't know the status of it.
