Can anyone help me with assign participants ID from 00001 to 10000 in sequence? I knew how to do random ID, but because of the requirement of this study, I have to make them in order. Also, I don't have a contact list. It is an anonymous data recording.

Hi @zhongy14 There is no full proof solution till now that we know of that can assign participant ID from 000001 to 100000 in sequence. An alternative method to assign Id's in consecutive order might be setting quota to 10000 and use the Quota filled count as an ID. But during consecutive responses that might fail.

@zhongy14, To do this you'll have to keep an external counter and assign the ids using a web service. The web service script would increment the counter and return the id.
