How to visualize questions, logic & conditions  
Written by GregB the 16 Feb 10 at 23:28. Related project: 1.x all. New
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.

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.

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.
