Question types/it

=Introduction=

This page offers you a visual overview of all available question types. You can also see it as a starting point from where you can get to different wiki sections that explain in detail every question type.

The LimeSurvey download package includes a sample survey which includes all question types. You'll find it in your "/docs/demosurveys/" directory. Import each of them and try every question type!

Please note that a LimeSurvey survey consists of question groups which contain one or more question. Therefore, you have to create a question group first before you can start adding questions to your survey. For more details on question groups, access the following wiki section.

=Tipologie di domande=

To change the type of a question, you have to first access the panel from where you edit the respective question. Then, click on the General options tab located in the right part of the screen:



Then, select the desired form for your question from the Select question type menu (check also the screenshots to choose the right question type for your inquiry):





The following question styles can be used within a survey in LimeSurvey:


 * Arrays
 * Mask questions
 * Multiple choice questions
 * Single choice questions
 * Text questions

Subquestions
Solitamente ad una domanda corrisponde un gruppo di risposte, ma in alcuni casi (ad es. per le domande della tipologia "Array" o matrice) una domanda contiene al suo interno più sottodomande, alle quali l'intervistato dovrà rispondere (spesso utilizzando una lista predifinita di risposte o una scala di valori).



La tipologia di domanda più complessa è la "Scelta (testi)", in cui l'intervistato deve inserire una risposta per ciascuna combinazione della matrice visualizzata. In questi casi ciascun valore costituisce una risposta e la domanda sarà struttura con due liste di sotto-domande (la prima presente nelle righe e la seconda nelle colonne)



Arrays o Matrici
The Array question type further extends the List question type. Using this question type, a matrix can be displayed where the left column is represented by a subquestion, while each row is represented by the same set of answer options. The text of the question can be either a specific question or a description.

In terms of output there is no difference in how responses are stored compared to List (Radio) question type. The given answer is stored in a separate column in the result table for both question types.

The most flexible array types are Array, Array (Text) and ''Array (Numbers)'. However, LimeSurvey also supports a number of array types which have predefined answer options (e.g., Array 5 point choice).

To quickly understand the basics of array-type questions, check the following video tutorial.
