| Summary | 10069: Participant ID field incorrectly called Token ID | ||||
| Description | When a participant info is expanded, there is a field named "Token ID". That field name is misleading. It is not a "Token" of any sort. It is a "Participant ID". As is, a user of your software is unnecessarily confused. Names matter. | ||||

Can you explain where you see the caption 'Token ID' (even better add a screenshot9? |
 |
The first screenshot shows a column labeled "ID" and another labeled "Token". The second screenshot shows a field labeled "Token ID". I think that "Token ID" field should be titled "Participant ID". It is very confusing otherwise. |
|
|
Well, it is the token ID - namely the ID of the entry in the token table of the particular survey. |
|
|
If I set the TOKEN to ABC, the Token ID shows at 1. Of what value is the internal key column of the token good to a user? |
|
|
Well, the token ID is visible in the token table. Also the token key (ABC) does not have to be filled in the token table, most of the time it is generated at a later time, after the users were uploaded to a survey, or right after they were copied from CPDB to the token table. |
