Is there a way to record an embedded id from SONA but not have it save on export?

Hi all!
It is my first time posting so if I made an error anywhere I will be sure to fix it ASAP.
I have a survey that is linked to SONA and when a participant completes the survey, they are automatically granted credit. However, I see that when I export I can see their id value and it could be an ethical concern so I was wondering if there was a way to still carry forward with the credit granting--but remove the id values on export?

Thank you!
Best,
David

    Hi David,
    On the "Data" page of the "Data & Analysis" tab, you can go to "Tools" --> "Choose Columns". First check "Select All" in the menu that pops up, then, deselect "ID" (or whatever you called your ID variable). You can then save this configuration, if you want, by going "Tools" --> "Save Layouts".
    When you export your data from the "Export Data" button, be sure to deselect "Download all fields", like I have below.
