Add a column in the survey list screen to give estimated survey table size.

The database type is known, and the estimated table sizes limits are known. A survey could be scanned and an estimated table size shown and those nearing the limits could be displayed in a different color.

Here is what the manual says about table size and unfortunatly after writting a very long survey and then trying to activate it I discovered I was way over the limit of what my database would accept.

...regarding survey size
Note: 'Survey size' refers to the maximmum number of questions (and answers) in your survey - don't confuse this with the number of replies on your survey (there is no limitation on that). Theoretically there would also be no limit on the maximum number of questions/answers in LimeSurvey. But the database engine you are using has several limits. The most important one is the limit on the number of fields(columns) in the result table.


•MySQL ISAM: The sum of the lengths of the VARCHAR and CHAR columns in a table may be up to 64KB.
•MySQL InnoDB: Maximum number of 1000 columns

The maximum number of columns can be quadrupled by increasing the default block size to 32k. See Installation FAQ and PostgreSQL FAQ. The mySQL ISAM engine is the most tricky one. As it allows only up to 65,535 bytes per row and utf8 characters can require up to three bytes per character the maximum may be only 21,844 characters (but this depends on your DB encoding). You can roughly calculate the size of your survey like this: •Every multiple numerical question: 20 chars for each answer •Every multiple choice & array question answers: 5 chars for each answer •Every other question type: 5 chars •Add 10% for the usual overhead

In times of Google Gears and HTML5 I was wondering if it would be possible to use the survey offline?

Tine20.org for example is using Gears to make the application usable offline. Or Gmail, etc.

I am not sure if this is possible with a very complex and flexible tool like Limesurvey, but maybe it is?

1) Provide a mechanism to better codify and search for Label Sets

a) a field for number of answers so people can find the 13 point Likert scale that someone else created for instance (~cringe~)

b) a catalogue to explore labelsets and

c) a field for descriptive keywords for each labelset rather than relying on the labelset names.

d) a Labelset search

I agree that label sets tend to become a problem. One way to address this is to have a system where each user manages their own set of labels. This could work as follows:

1) Each user has their own list of label sets

2) Have a global list of label sets that consists of the combination of all the individual user's label sets

3) Users can copy label sets from the global list into their personal label set list.

This way each user is not overwhelmed by the clutter of label sets that tends to accumulate, but can access the master list if they want to.

Allow the administrator to write his own conditions in either javascript or php! Maybe a security issue, but the admin could enable or disable this feature for certain users and groups! This would solve other familiar problems as well!
