Millisecond Forums

Hi all,

I am currently attempting to teach myself Inquisit, and am trying to program a study where each participant is presented with a unique report of 8 questions. Each question has three levels (1. Strong, 2. Weak, 3. Non applicable), that will be randomly chosen to present a unique report, i.e., one participant could be presented with 3 strong questions, 4 weak, 1 NA, and another participant could be presented with 7 strong questions and 1 NA etc. Originally, I had planned to present just the report in Inquisit, and then the participants would complete the questions in Qualtrics, however I have now chosen for the participant to complete the whole study within Inquisit. I had successfully managed to program the randomised report (which would just appear on the screen - only one page - for three minutes), however since I have added questions and survey pages it is not working.

What I aim to do is to present the random report on the first page, and then present the SAME report on each consecutive page with three slider bar questions beneath the report, totaling roughly 14 questions and five survey pages. The same version of the report must be presented at the top of each page so the participant is able to re-read the report when answering questions. I am currently unable to present the report on the first page and at the top of each page, and am only able to view the slider bars and questions, however, when removing all questions/slider bar syntax and keeping ONLY the syntax for the randomised report, the report is presented. If you are able to, please tell me what I am missing and where I have gone wrong. 

Here is my current syntax (I have changed the captions and questions for simplicity):

'Gait analysis is a practice that involves comparing persons of interest in crime-related images (such as CCTV and surveillance recordings) with reference images of suspects, where the primary focus is on movement and posture (Edmond & Cunliffe, 2016, p. 219).'
