For me, is really difficult to manage data in MySQL... I need a powerful SQL engine in order to write procedure for analyzing data, and for this we usually make use of Firebird.

Up to now (LS 1.87) there are no statistics for question type "date" available. It would be nice to create some charts (showing results in a table isn't necessary from my point of view) so the admin gets an overview which date was entered.

into the lime_surveys table there is a field datecreated when the survey was created. What I would like to know about a survey is when it was activated. this to create statistics about how long the surveys are running(or have ran) on our system.

ofcourse to determin how long a survey has ran there would also be a need for DateLastDeactivated.

It would be nice to show the running time of a survey on the current statistics pages. And as in our case those fields could be used for custom statistics about all the surveys that are currently running on the system.

I'd love to see LimeSurvey to be connected to open source instead of commercial services. OpenStreetMap is currently not supported by LimeSurvey.

In some situation where you have to "replay" many times the same filters sets on various surveys (but with same question set) it can be very long and bothering to click each time on hundreds of filter sets.

I run quite a few surveys that are open for 7 days. It is important to issue reminders, and it is important to do this with the right timing, and it would be good to keep other people in our own organizations, and in the customer organization up to speed with the way the survey is going - most specifically with regards to the response rate.

For a company using Limesurvey to do market research type of inquiries this would be an easy way to get an edge vs some of the more expensive non-open source tools that exist.

I had the idea that this should be possible to do using an rss feed. The RSS feed should provide data for;

The name of the survey
When the invitations were sent out
Number of respondents that have been invited
Number of completed surveys

So for example;
Survey [SURVEYNAME]
Started [DATE, TIME]
Invited number of respondents [RESPONDENTS_INVITED]
Completed number of surveys [COMPLETED_SURVEYS] corresponding to a
response rate of ([COMPLETED_SURVEYS]/[RESPONDENTS_INVITED]) %.

The idea is: during answering respondent could change his vote, think different time on each question, swich to other window or site (this data names paradata - data about collection of information). It is important to record all this movement and actions to further analise.

We use the limesurvey as a survey for our mystery shoppers, it works well, but we wonder why we receive complains from some of them from time to time that an interruption occurs while filling a survey, a problem that doesn't happen frequently, but it happens sometimes and leads to loss of time and effort!

I suggest that you add a logging system, so that we may be able to trace users steps on our surveys, this way, we may recognize the source of the problems! it's maybe a bug in a browser or an action that the user takes by fault, logging system would help us in finding these facts and by consequent recommend tools to users to avoid these problems rather than fixing them!

Something very basic that limesurvey is missing is a "Total count" row for each question. This is something that people who look at stats require

For example the screenshot example in the limesurvey documentation at
http://docs.limesurvey.org/Statistics&structure=English+Instructions+for+LimeSu rvey
The count will be 6 as indicated by the filter, but would change for multi answer questions.

Also this feature should include the ability to remove the
No answer and the Non Completed rows, without having to filter the questions answers (it could be a global check box "Do not include No answer or Non Completed")

Currently, users are allowed to view the survey statistics after answering the entire survey. It would be nice to be able to view statistics after answering each question. This way, there is a bit more incentive for users to answer the survey instead of having to make it all the way to the end.

One site that does a great example of this is TraitWise:

For basic analysis, the statistics module is great, but it should be improved to be somewhat customizable.

When browsing the responses the header of the column consists of the question text. This not only creates a huge row (which luckily is adapted by LS already), but the first few words of a question can be often very similiar, which makes it very difficult to find the right row.

It should be relatively easy to add a row above which contains the question code, which would make it a lot easier to identify the respective row.

Additionally, in the screen to limit de responses for the statistics, there is only shown the question text and not the question ID. With big surveys it would be so much easier to search via the question ID.

Limesurvey has a very powerful interface for creating summary reports (graphs and charts) based on all sorts of criteria.

But sometimes I want a listing by that same criteria, not a summary report.

Chart have no indication of abscissa and ordinate represent.
A short text for X axe and Y axe maybe usefull.

My survey has list comments questionnaire but I am unable to see the comments when I generate the stats in PDF or Excel. For report consolidation purposes, I think it will be extremely helpful to be abel to see the comments typed by respondents even in the PDF and Excel format.

Actually survey users either have press the next button after each questions or after filled out the complete number of questions belonging to questions group.

The first option is often tiring, while the second on may result in very large / long input screens.

The options of creating small question groups is not always convenient as they normally correspond to a logical unit (for which e.g. you want to keep or provide an assessment score).
