Hey there,
I'm working on a study, where respondents pass through a general introduction and are then transmitted to one of 5 study conditions via terminate link (all study parts programmed in Lighthouse 9.6.1). In order to be able to match the data afterwards I would like to store the sys_respondent-numbers (given in the introduction part) in the data set of each condition. At this point, I need your help!
What I did:
In the introduction part, I tagged "link to a questionnaire or website" and included a terminate link that (as an example) leads to the first condition:
https://MUM5ia.sawtoothsoftware.com/cgi-bin/ciwweb.pl?hid_studyname=MUM5&respnum=[%RespNum()%]
I thought that the last part "respnum=[%RespNum()%] would help me to get the respondent-number into the new dataset. Likewise, I integrated in my second programming (programming of condition 1) a pass-in field with the name "respnum" and specified it as "whole number".
After a test run, I find the variable "respnum" in the data set, however, there is no value in it, although the value is displayed in the browserfield (e.g., respnum=3), when I pass through the questionnaire.
Can you help me with this? (I have the same problem with all the other conditions as well).
Further, I wondered that I see the first page of the condition's programming, while the "One-Click Link" that is presented after survey-upload leads me to the second page.
It would be great to get some information on this!
Kind regards,
Verena
