Displaying a Confirmation Code for MTurk after IAT

Hello,

I am trying to set up an online survey and will be recruiting participants via MTurk. My survey begins in Qualtrics, and the participants are automatically routed to Inquisit following the completion of the Qualtrics portion of the survey. I have it set up where the participants are assigned a random ID, which is then piped automatically to Inquisit. However, I need a way to display this random ID number to participants after they complete the IAT. On this page: http://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v5/html/howto/interopsurveys.htm under "Returning the Subject ID from Inquisit Back to Third Party Site," in the image there appears to be an option to "Show Confirmation Code." However, I do not see this option in Inquisit when I am setting up my IAT. This option sounds like exactly what I need. Is it only available in certain versions, or is there another reason it isn't showing up for me? If it is not available in version 3, is there another way for me to replicate that option, such as by directing them to a page that displays their same random ID number piped from Qualtrics to Inquisit?

Thank you!

Correct, this option is not available under Inquisit 3 (you are looking at the Inquisit 5 documentation). But you can display the id nonetheless. Set up an additional <trial> element in your IAT and run that trial at the very end. Have that trial display the subject id via a standard <text> element and instruct your participants to note their ID down (copy & paste will NOT be possible).

<trial yourid>
/ stimulusframes = [1=idtext]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<text idtext>
/ items = ("Please write down your personal ID: <%script.subjectid%>")
...
</text>
