How can I assign participant IDs within a Qualtrics survey?
I'd like to generate participant IDs starting with 101 and then increasing by 1 for each participant. The number will then be used as a unique identifier for future surveys.

Assign the IDs in the ExternalDataReference field of the contact list. If you are uploading the contact list from a csv it is just another column. If you already have the contact list, you can export it to a csv, add the column, the reimport it to update the contacts.
If you are using an Authenticator in your survey flow, you can authenticate against the ExternalDataReference.
+27Please tell us more about your survey and process. Do you have a contact list to begin with? Is this an anonymous survey with a contact list trigger? Do the ids really have to be numeric and sequential or just unique?
I will have a contact list and from there, we will send participants a series of surveys. I'd like the ID to authenticate the participant. I'd like the ids to be numeric and sequential.
