Choose bar chart instead of pie chart when you want to  
Written by onderzoekspraktijk the 19 Nov 09 at 23:49. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
Any question that totals to 100% gets a graphic representation in the form of a pie chart.
I tried to change the code to make it possible to choose a bar chart instead.
I did this because the pie chart is terrible to intepret when it depicts more than 3 variables. It sure looks nice, but it does not convey information in a nice manner: it flabbergasts.
(This link tells it much better than I ever could:http://www.perceptualedge.com/articles/08-21-07.pdf)

Selected solution (#1): chart chooser parameter in the survey fields on top of each survey
Written by onderzoekspraktijk the 19 Nov 09 at 23:49.
Of-course more importantly it needs some coding of the used software. I tried it but it is beyond me.

Harmonization of navigation buttons  
Written by apps the 23 Feb 10 at 14:39. Related project: 1.x all. In development
All possible transitions (of pages, of state) a survey can undergo by user interaction are:
- start
- resume a survey
- save the survey
- cancel and exit
- go prev
- go next
- end

The state of the art is a non-homogeneous implementation:
- Exit and clear = < a> tag with a fixed url carrying a crucial get parameter
- Load unfinished = < input> tag with type="submit" and crucial value "Load unfinished survey"
- Save = < input> tag with type="submit" and crucial value "saveall"
- < < prev = < input> tag with type="Submit" and crucial value "< < Prev"
- next>> = < input> tag with type="Submit" and crucial value "Next>>"
- start = < input> tag with type "Submit" and crucial value "movenext"
- end = < input> tag with type "submit". Value unknown at the time of writing this.

These should be harmonized: use the same tag and discriminate over one (single) parameter.

Selected solution (#1): Transform Exit&Clear into < input>
Written by apps the 23 Feb 10 at 14:39.
This way, the less effort is required, since the other action are already unified into a < input> tag

At the end, all possible actions will be < input>s.

Extention for 'exclude_all_others' attribute  
Written by tileca the 15 Dec 09 at 19:51. Related project: 1.x all. New
The 'exclude_all_others' attribute sould be available for any kind of Multiple
choice questions like:
P - Multiple Options with Comments
Q - Multiple short text
K - Multiple Numerical

and not just for:
?M - Multiple Options

It would be great if the 'other option' could be choosen as well to exclude all others.

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.

Store assessment results for further evaluation  
Written by hardzsi the 26 Sep 09 at 15:37. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
The evaluated TOTAL assessment (sum) is nicely displayed at the end of the survey - which can only be seen by the user who filled the survey in.
However, this result is not stored at the answers database. After a lot of user filled the survey in, i would like to see the sums given for all of these users.
Now i have to export the answers and should repeat the assessment / summarize in Excel before i can see these TOTAL sums.

Selected solution (#1): store all the existing assessment placeholders at the end of answer database
Written by hardzsi the 26 Sep 09 at 15:37.
Store at least TOTAL. If possible, PERC and ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL too.

Selected solution (#2): Don't store, just calculate for export
Written by c_schmitz the 8 Aug 11 at 13:22.
I think it is not the best way to store a score that may be subject to changes when editing a response. Best would be to calc the values during export.
