Tics for slider layout  
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06. Related project: 1.x all. New
Tics (aka tic marks) should be visible under the slider bar.

See this sketch: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/5295/10403feb10095848.gif

benefits: easy read, make it clear it's a slider with discrete values, catch where the handle is in respect to left and right limits.

Details:
type = multiple numerical input
options:
use slider layout = 1
slider min = 0
slider max = 10
slider accurancy = 1

Solution #1: add an option
Written by apps the 2 Feb 10 at 10:06.
show_tics = 0 (default). Just as it is.
show_tics = 1 : the slider shows tics under the bar, between the slider_min and the slider_max values.

Review all conditions  
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 14:10. Related project: 1.x all. New
It's more productive to show and review all conditions in a admin page.
Mantain them from there (Edit, add, delete) is considered a plus.

Create a page to review all conditions in the current SurveyID

Duplicate survey feature  
Written by fingerprn the 3 Feb 10 at 22:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
I use the same survey, except for a few small changes, with different groups of people. I'd like the ability to just click a button and copy a survey, including questions, layout, etc., without needing to use the import/export feature.

Selected solution (#1): Copy survey button
Written by fingerprn the 3 Feb 10 at 22:12.
Right next to the Export Survey Structure button, add a Copy Survey button. When you click on it, it asks for a new survey name. Click on that and it creates an exact duplicate (except the survey name) of the current survey structure and design. From there, you can open the new "inactive" survey and make any necessary changes.

Preview for Question Group  
Written by leolime the 6 Feb 10 at 19:09. Related project: 1.x all. In development
I have a preview for a single question which is really helpful.

I would like to have as well a preview of a Question Group. This would help me to get an idea about the order and being lost in details. Would help especially for those questions at the end of a survey.

decouple survey settings in 2 pages  
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 16:12. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Survey settings is composed of 2 pages:
1 Survey configs, with tuples (name-value) .e.g. Allow Saves Y/N
2 Survey textes, with survey title, welcome, endmsg.

The first part of settings are set at start of your work with a survey, and rarely fixed later.
The behaviour of a survey is technical choice, with a tendency of no change over time.

The second part is very frequently used, I believe it stays at the same level of questions and aswer, often modified for the same aesthetic or pratic reasons.

Selected solution (#1): split in 2 pages
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 16:12.
The use case can be safely split in 2 use cases, by looking at the level of interaction the user need with the settings.

A "survey messages" +
A "survey settings " (Retain old name)

Add export LimeSurvey results to SAS.  
Written by mga the 3 Feb 10 at 18:43. Related project: 2.x all. New
SAS is a powerful statistics application that's pretty broadly used. LimeSurvey already supports exporting results to R and SPSS, which are good packages, but many of our users prefer to use SAS.

We'd like to see support for exporting LimeSurvey data into a format SAS can use, as has been done for SPSS and R.

Solution #1: Add export option for SAS
Written by mga the 3 Feb 10 at 18:43.
As was done for R and SPSS, add an export option for SAS.

SAS can import CSV if needed, but our users are asking for something that's easier - like they see for SPSS in LimeSurvey.

SAS can read SPSS files if need be, so I guess that's another option:

though it would be nice to be able to export directly in SAS format.

List assigned question attributes at question overview  
Written by Mazi the 15 Jan 10 at 16:38. Related project: 1.x all. New
When chosing a question from the dropdown list at the admin panel you get some information about
- code
- question text
- quesdtion type
- label set
- mandatory?

What's missing is information about assigned question attributes. You always have to switch to the "edit question" screen to get information about assigned question attributes.

This is not very user friendly and a design problem which probably could be fixed easily.

Solution #2: add a table
Written by apps the 3 Feb 10 at 10:08.
add a table with 2 columns
|attribute name | attribute value|

and simply enlist each attribute with has a non-empty value.
It's up to the survey designer to understand, use and act in respect to the showed data.

Allow to save infos about browser, javascript, OS etc. into results  
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 14:50. Related project: 1.x all. In development
Make the infos like browser agent, javascriptversion, OS and additonal infos available in the results.

Some workarounds are not working with different browsers. E.g. you wonder why a hidden question was filled out with a invalid value (solution, very old browser wasn't hiding the question). If you have the additional infos at hand you can quickly pinpoint what might be the cause of that answer pattern.

The variables could also be made accessible for conditions.
But to save them into the results would be already a big help to give feedback about problems and weighting them in terms of how often they would occur in the field.

Selected solution (#1): A checkbox in the survey settings
Written by jelo the 11 Nov 09 at 14:50.
Some of these information are available via the php function
get_browser(). A javascript part could also be added to get screen resolution and flash detection.

To include such infos into the results a checkbox in the surveysettings would be a good start.
