Toggle "Mandatory" setting on questions  
Written by tpartner the 19 Dec 09 at 01:08. Related project: 1.x all. New
I would like to see a tool that could toggle the "Mandatory" setting on all questions in the survey from "on" to "off" and vice versa.

This would make the Q/A process on long surveys much easier - one wouldn't need to answer every question just to check a fix on page 16 of a survey.

Solution #1: Add a button/input to survey settings that would toggle the mandatory states.
Written by tpartner the 19 Dec 09 at 01:08.
To toggle the questions to optional, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=Y and change them to mandatory=M.

We need to use "M" so we can find them to toggle them back later.

The system would see "M" as non-mandatory so all of these questions could now be skipped in a Q/A process.

This way only the questions that the survey author had set to mandatory would be affected.

To toggle the questions back to mandatory, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=M and change them to mandatory=Y.

I've put together a little php script to demonstrate the concept that you can grab at http://partnersinc.biz/testsites/misc_images/mandatory_toggle.txt (can't seem to attach anything here!).

Solution #2: Use a session variable to disable the "checkmandatorys" function
Written by tpartner the 19 Dec 09 at 14:40.
A more elegant solution may be to have the button/input set a session variable to disable the "checkmandatorys" function. (thanks Carsten)

Some red text could then be displayed at the bottom of the survey indicating that it is in "Q/A" mode and all questions are optional.

Addition of third person comments  
Written by kakarountas the 7 Nov 11 at 09:14. Global category: Logic & Conditions. New
I am a manager at a small enterprise and I would like to ask my employees for completing a self-assessment form created using LimeSurvey. However, before forwarding it to the board, I would like to add at least some comments to each completed survey for each employer (alternatively a reply to 5-10 questions per completed questionnaire would also be ok).

Solution #1: Supporting two users completing a single questionnaire
Written by kakarountas the 7 Nov 11 at 09:14.
So what I would like to suggest is to support/introduce surveys required to be completed by two persons. This means, that one group of questions is completed by the employer and another group of questions by the manager. Only when both have completed the questionnaire, it may be considered to be closed.

Since I am a new user of LimeSurvey, and until now I have used it for typical only surveys, to gather statistical data, I am apologizing if this is a feature already available.

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.

Solution #1: add a page "Logic Management"
Written by apps the 5 Feb 10 at 14:10.
Add a button to the survey button bar, next to "Token management"
Create a page to review all conditions in the current SurveyID

Place all answers in confirmation E-Mails and produce no error, if a question wasn't answered.
