Nowadays, all research with human subjects require informed consent and authorization. The use of a program such as LimeSurvey in academic, government, or business environments require a mechanism of informed consent. In the specific case of academic environments, Institutional Review Boards WILL NOT APPROVE any type of research with human subjects without a mechanisms to verify the informed consent. Restrictions such as this are already found (or likely to be found in the near future) in government, medical and some business settings. Usage of LimeSurvey in academic--or other-- settings will be hindered by the absence of this kind of functionality.

I'd like to be able to take the assessment score and, rather than have limesurvey apply rules for handling the score, be able to pass it back to my application so that it can determine the best course of action.

Some users download Lime Survey but don’t have the knowledge to use it.

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).

If we need to present some group to specific token, maybe in some order, or if we need to present some answer in specific order for some people, it's very difficult to do in javascript.

I think sometimes it is useful to have possibility to have "one questions, one page" for the first part of the survey; and "more questions, one page" for the sopio-demographic questions.

So it will be useful to display questions in these different ways, in differen section of the same survey. If questionnaire requires it.

In some circumstances it's quite difficult to statically configure the endURL of a survey.

An example of this is when hosting the survey in a portlet as part of a portal container. Portlet render URLs tend to be quite complex in construction and it's certainly inadvisable (and quite difficult) to construct them statically.

Use of the #answerNNXNNXNN id means code must be updated for all questions that are re-used, in order to re-target form elements. This is tedious, error prone, and frustrating.

The solution proposed does not suggest removing the #id, but adding an alternative for scripting targetting.

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

When creating / testing / editing a survey mandatory question are really annoying. I can think of these situations where making questions of a survey (temporary) non mandatory will be a great improvement:

1. (Developer) Testing possible bugs
When importing a survey for testing mandatory question can drive you nuts.

2. (User) Previewing a survey which is in development
You just want to take a look at the questions and survey design, having to answer all mandatory questions is a mess.

As we know, there are may applications and games are become more and more popular with the integration with Facebook.

If we can make LimeSurvey become a widget, then it would make LimeSurvey become more easy to integrate with SNS or open source applications, such as Joomla, WordPress, etc.

Today with right "Manage labels", user can delete/modify all labels.

LimeSurvey currently does branch logic throughout the survey and it works great. However, if I have a happy client or a dissatisfied client, sometimes I want to route them to different completion pages. Instead of a single end message, I would prefer at least 2 pages I could direct people to based on a condition from the survey.

Making conditions in LS are very time consuming.

The existing condition rules are only useful when asking a very few additional questions, as the condition has to be entered as a rule to each question. There is no way for example to easily make whole question groups conditional.

The assessment options in Limesurvey are currently reasonably limited, and a personality type assessment would be useful.

The type of survey I'm trying to build at the moment is a personality survey where a user goes through a number of questions, and based on the totals of their answers to options A, B or C, their personality trait can be identified.

eg Based on the percentage of A, B and C a particular trait might be highlighted. This trait would be then displayed to the survey participant, as well as being recorded as the result of the survey along with the answers and assessment score ideally.

> 50% A = Type X
> 50% B = Type Y
> 50% C = Type Z
> 40% A & > 40% B = Type XY
> 40% B & > 40% C = Type YZ
> 40% A & > 40% C = Type XZ
> 30% A & > 30% B & > 30% C = Type XYZ

When using this I make mistakes with my spelling and I think that one needs to be added. It would be a nice feature.

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.

Sometimes when there is an array question containing an n-point scale with multiple subquestions, some of the subquestions need to be filtered out (e.g. if it is a scale of satisfaction with health, family, friends and job, if the respondent does not have a job then the "satisfaction with job" subquestion should not appear).
There is currently the option of "array filter" to synchronize a multiple answer type question with an array, but sometimes that is not enough, especially when only a few subquestions actually need filtering (e.g. in the previous example, there is no point to ask if the respondent has a family, friends or health, but it is necessary to ask if he/she has a job).
Therefore, it would be useful to include in the "conditions" tab the possibility of applying conditions not only to questions, but to subquestions.

I have tried many survey systems, but I didn't find any survey system with LimeSurvey powerful features is social media oriented.

What I mean is we need to leverage the user base from Facebook, Twitter, Gtalk, MSN, Yahoo or any other instant messengers or SNS.

For example, I have to conduct an academic or business research, it's easy to build up survey with the powerful LimeSurvey, but it's hard for me to distribute the survey to my friendlist on Facebook, Twitter, Gtalk, etc.

Therefore, if we have the invitation feature, and it would be easy for me to send an invitation to my friends on my friend list.

Since my friend take part in my survey, I do hope there is a reward feature to give them a certain market place points that they can use to exchange cash or coupon or voucher, so as to encourage their contributions.

And also it would be better if the reward feature has question level marketplace points and survey level market place points. For example, some questions worth 5 points, but some questions worth 30 points, or I can set the whole survey worth 300 points no matter how many questions in the survey.

If we have survey invitation and reward feature, then the survey system could be more social media oriented, it would attract many academic or business institutions to set up survey, invite friend from their friend list on SNS or IM, and reward contributors with marketplace points (such as eBay bucks) and get the survey results.

Looking forward for your reply!

For 'us psychologists' (researchers) it is often necessary to randomise participants over 'conditions' (in the research sense, not in the LimeSurvey sense). For example, we may want to present 50% with group 3 and 50% with group 4. To make matters a bit more, eh, challenging, it can sometimes be useful to make this randomisation dependent on earlier answers (i.e., only randomise participants with a certain profile; present all others with group 5), or to randomise different proportions of participants to different groups (i.e. 60% to group 3, 20% to group 4, 10% to group 5, and 10% to group 6).

So I thought it would be pretty cool if that could be implemented :-)
