Group subquestion stats/charts are presented in fragmented way  
Written by mfreund the 6 Jul 10 at 22:08. Related project: 1.x all. New
It would be great if questions containing subquestions (e.g. array questions with multiple questions) could display in statistics and graphs together on a single chart.

Also, pie charts are a poor way to display data that is not categorical in nature. Ordinal (e.g. education level) or scale (e.g. age) variables are hard to make sense of in pie charts.

For example, I often ask respondents to agree or disagree with a number of related statements. It would be good to view the responses together and displayed in a way that conveys that the responses are on a continuum.

Solution #1: Display subquestion stats together, using stacked bar charts
Written by mfreund the 6 Jul 10 at 22:08.
An ideal format for doing this would be a stacked bar chart. Each bar could be a subquestion, and the answer options stacked in the order defined in the question design. (In my example, they would be Strongly Disagree / Disagree / Neutral / Agree / Strongly agree.)

Set number of tokens to display in token table as Global Setting  
Written by mfreund the 5 Oct 10 at 03:01. Related project: 1.x all. New
Currently, LS defaults to display 50 tokens, and it would be good to be able to easily change that setting without going into the PHP file.

I often have surveys with over 50 respondents, and it is inconvenient to always have to change the number of tokens displayed in order to see them all.

Include a setting in Global Settings to allow the admin to change the default number of tokens displayed.

Need group mean or calculations for assessments  
Written by mfreund the 27 Sep 10 at 12:19. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Currently the assessments only seem to allow reporting based on a total value for each group (or perhaps the percentage of total possible score?).

It would be great if it were possible to construct assessments using a mean or other statistic (e.g. median or mode)

Even better would be to be able to create more complex calculations. Some applications might be to allow for differential weighting of questions (beyond simply assigning greater or lesser assessment values), transformation of values (e.g. combining a question with a 4-point scale and one with a 5-point scale), or calculation of new variables using question values (e.g. ratio of two question scores).

Selected solution (#1): Functionality for group mean or calculations for assessments
Written by mfreund the 27 Sep 10 at 12:19.
I don't have a specific technical solution, beyond the suggested functionality in the idea description.

All ideas are welcome!
