Add Question ID to results tables.  
Written by holch the 9 May 12 at 17:14. Global category: Statistics. New
When browsing the responses the header of the column consists of the question text. This not only creates a huge row (which luckily is adapted by LS already), but the first few words of a question can be often very similiar, which makes it very difficult to find the right row.

It should be relatively easy to add a row above which contains the question code, which would make it a lot easier to identify the respective row.

Additionally, in the screen to limit de responses for the statistics, there is only shown the question text and not the question ID. With big surveys it would be so much easier to search via the question ID.

Solution #1: Add question ID to the response table and the response filters screen
Written by holch the 9 May 12 at 17:14.
A. Add a row to the top of the response table with the question ID. Just above the question text should be fine. I think this is better than to include it in the same cell.

B. Add the question ID in front of the question text in 'limit responses' screen.

Different survey statuses  
Written by holch the 18 Sep 11 at 16:50. Global category: Logic & Conditions. New
At the moment the survey is either on or off. It would be great if there would be the possibility to give a survey different statuses like "open/online", "paused", "finished", etc.

The admin could mark the current status and respondents would receive different messages when opening the link like the survey itself in case of "online" and something like "The survey is currently paused/not active, please come back later" and "This survey has been closed, as we have reached the necessary amount of participants".

Solution #1: Different statuses

Put different status options in the general settings, main page of the survey and show depending on the current status a specific message.

The existing functionnality is too complex for really newbe users.  
Written by Rashelinu the 11 Nov 10 at 03:18. Related project: 2.x all. Not an idea
Respond multiple times using the same computer

The actual functionnality is implemented as:
"With this workaround it will be possible to respond multiple times to the same survey. Normally there will be a message saying that the computer already received the answers. To prevent this you have to add the following code to the URL that leads to the survey "&newtest=Y"."

In case we hire an employee who will call 50 customers and will enter all answers into the survey, the employee will have to write 50 times the "&newtest=Y" into the address bar and remember the current number Y for each call. This can be quite complicated for some unexperimented users.

We wants the employees to have invitation because we want to retrace the number of customers each employee call.

Solution #1: A button that enable to answer one more time to a survey
Written by Rashelinu the 11 Nov 10 at 03:18.
Is there a possiblity to have a button that when you click will open the survey and enable the user to answer one more time to the survey?

Solution #2: Provide the employee with various links
Written by holch the 18 Sep 11 at 16:55.
You can create various links and with the token you can identify who has filled in the questionnaire. You can create your own tokens actually, e.g.

Employee 1, interview 1
e001i001
e001i002
....

Offline Surveys  
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31. Related project: 2.x all. New
I was thinking about this quite a while already. It is not always possible to do a interview online (CAWI) or via telephone (CATI). When programming is necessary CAPI comes into the game.

However, most CAPI-Tools are old and boring and additionally you have to have still another program.

However, wouldn't it be greate to be able to use Limesurvey for all those purposes. However, even with UMTS/3G it is not always possible or reliable enough to do it with a online survey tool.

Solution #1: Limesurvey CAPI feature
Written by holch the 26 Feb 10 at 02:31.
In times of Google Gears and HTML5 I was wondering if it would be possible to use the survey offline?

Tine20.org for example is using Gears to make the application usable offline. Or Gmail, etc.

I am not sure if this is possible with a very complex and flexible tool like Limesurvey, but maybe it is?

How to visualize questions, logic & conditions  
Written by GregB the 16 Feb 10 at 23:28. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Some surveys can be very complex.

For my last survey, I had a committee deciding the groups and questions. We used FreeMind to come up with our structure.

Selected solution (#1): Visual Question Tree using MindMap structure
Written by GregB the 16 Feb 10 at 23:28.
It would seem to me that someone very smart person could make some script to convert survey data into mindmap data.

This would be a straight export from LimeSurvey to the mindmap data structure.

Branches can be colorcoded to denote conditions.

Selected solution (#2): Solution #2: Use a normal "folder visualisation"
Written by holch the 5 Mar 10 at 18:59.
I agree that the MindMap Structure wouldn't really work.

But I know some survey tools, that use a kind of "folder structure" as we know it from file explorers, etc.

I think this can display filters and so on pretty well. At the moment Quotas, Filters, and questions are somehow displayed very seperate and it difficult to get a good overview of the survey (I do agree with the GregB here).

But with the folder tree, you can show loops, filters, pages/groups and questions, which can be especially helpful for long and complicated surveys.
