SMTP-серверы многих хостинг-провайдеров будут принимать только электронные письма, чей адрес «От:» находится в локальном домене. Любые электронные письма, которые не соответствуют этому правилу, удаляются молча, без каких-либо видимых сообщений об ошибках. Если это произойдет с вами, убедитесь, что вы используете адрес электронной почты поставщика в поле "E-mail администратора". Вы также можете настроить пересылку электронной почты на стороне провайдера, чтобы любые отправленные туда сообщения передавались на ваш предпочтительный адрес.

A bounce email is an electronic email which is returned to the sender from various reasons (e.g. invalid address, temporary unavailable mail server, full recipient's mailbox, etc).
 * Bounce email: This is the email address where the delivery error notification emails (bounced emails) will be sent to.


 * Fax to: This field is used to print a fax number on the "printable survey" - i.e.: when you want to send someone a hard copy because he or she cannot use the online survey;


 * Group: Select the survey group the newly created survey should be added to;


 * Format: It allows you to choose the way in which the questions will be displayed to the survey respondents. Three options are available:
 * Question by Question : The questions will be displayed one by one (one question per page). If this option is picked up, a separate "welcome" page and "end" page will be displayed when taking the survey;
 * Group by Group : Each survey page will display a question group. Also, a separate "welcome" page and "end" page will still be displayed when taking the survey, as in the "Question by Question" surveys;
 * All in one : If chosen, all the pages will be displayed on a single page. If you select this option, no separate pages exist for the "welcome" and "end" pages - they will all appear on the same page, together with the questions.


 * Шаблон: Шаблон по умолчанию довольно простой, но функциональный. Более подробная информация о создании ваших собственных шаблонов доступна здесь.

Presentation & navigation
The following options can be found under this tab:




 * Navigation delay (seconds): It shows the number of seconds before the previous, next, and submit buttons are enabled. If none is specified, the option will use the default value, which is "0" (seconds);


 * Show question index / allow jumping: A question index can be displayed in the survey if this function is enabled, allowing the user to jump from one question group to another. You can choose the following:
 * Disabled : If this option is picked up, no index is shown in the survey;
 * Incremental : If this option is selected, the question groups will be shown incrementally in an index menu located on the survey page. You are allowed "to jump" only to the question groups that were previously visited/accessed;
 * Full : Jumping from question group to question group is allowed via the index menu.


 *  'Показать' В этом опросе есть X вопросов  ': показывает общее количество вопросов в вашем опросе;


 * Show group name and/or group description: Your survey will show to the survey participants question groups names and/or group descriptions;


 * Show question number and/or code: What to be shown to the survey participants - the question number and/or the question code, both or none. The number of the questions is shown in the moment in which someone wishes to start the survey, while the question code is shown next to each survey question;


 * Show "No answer": When a radio button or select type question that contains editable answers (e.g.: List & array questions) has the Show "No answer" enabled and it is also not mandatory, an additional entry "No answer" is displayed for each question/subquestion. In this way, the respondents may choose not to answer the respective question/subquestion. As a survey administrator, the following two options are available:


 * On : If this option is picked up, the respondents can choose the "no answer" option when it comes to selecting an answer for a non-mandatory question;
 * Off : If selected, the "no answer" option will not be displayed as a possible answer for any non-mandatory question;


 * Show welcome screen: If turned off, the welcome text message will not be displayed anymore at the beginning of the questionnaire;


 * Allow backward navigation: If enabled, it will allow the users to navigate backwards and change his or her previous answers;


 * Show on-screen keyboard: If turned on, an on-screen keyboard will show up when answering questions that require typing in information;


 * Show progress bar: It shows to the survey participant a progress bar that emphasizes how much of the survey is filled out and how much is left to be completed;


 * Participants may print answers: If turned on, the survey participants may choose at the end of the survey to print their answers;


 * Public statistics: A link to a set of statistics will be shown at the end of the survey if this option is enabled;


 * Show graphs in public statistics: If enabled, graphs will also be shown in the public statistics from the end of the survey. Please note that the "Public statistics option" has to be enabled to allow the survey participants see the graphs in the public statistics;


 * Automatically load URL when survey complete: The end URL becomes a redirect link once the survey is completed, if this option is turned on.

Publication & access control
The following set of options is available under this tab:




 * Start date/time: The date/time the survey starts;


 * Expiry date/time: Set this to some date if you want your survey to expire on a special date. This is the last date on which the public survey script will let people participate. (Example: If you set it for the 31st of December, then people will no longer be able to fill out the survey on the 1st of January). To disable this, just clear the date from the input field;


 * List survey publicly: The default value is "No". When it is set to "Yes", your survey will be listed in the "available surveys" portal where it can be seen by all LimeSurvey users;


 * Set cookie to prevent repeated participation: If this is turned on, a survey participant will be blocked from completing a survey for the second time;


 * Use CAPTCHA for survey access: In order to access the survey, a CAPTCHA code has be typed in by the survey participant;


 * Use CAPTCHA for registration: In order to register for the survey, a CAPTCHA code has be typed in by the survey participant;


 * Use CAPTCHA for save and load: Enable it if you wish a survey participant to type in a CAPTCHA code when he or she loads again the survey after only a part of it was completed.

Notification & data management
The following options are available:




 * Date stamp: Turn it on if you would like to see the time when the answers were submitted;


 * Save IP address: If turned yes, the IP address of the survey respondent will be stored together with his or her answers;


 * Save referrer URL: If turned yes, the referrer URL will be stored together with the answers;


 * Save timings: If enabled, the time spent on each page of the survey by each survey participant is recorded;


 * Enable assessment mode: You can enable/disable assessments for this survey with this setting;


 * Participant may save and resume later: This setting allows a participant to save his responses and resume to answer the survey questions at a later time. Please note that this makes most sense with open surveys or surveys with anonymized answer. If you are using tokens and the survey is not anonymous, in most cases it is better to activate token-based response persistence from the Participant settings panel.


 * Send basic admin notification email to and Send detailed admin notification email to: These two fields allow you to send notifications or survey responses to any email addresses once the survey is submitted. You can edit the templates for these emails from the Email templates menu. Multiple recipients can be set by separating the entries with a semicolon (e.g "yourname@test.com; myname@test.com;hisname@test.com" or (if using placeholders) "yourname@test.com;{INSERTANS:82733X12X73};{TOKEN:EMAIL}").


 * Google Analytics settings: If you would like to get further details about the survey web traffic, use Google Analytics. Three options are available:
 * None : Google Analytics will not be used;
 * Use settings below : If chosen, the survey owner can type in his or her Google Analytics Tracking ID to be stored only with the respective survey. You also have the possibility to choose one of the three Google Analytics styles:
 * Do not use Google Analytics - so {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} is an empty string;
 * Default Google Analytics - {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} uses the standard Google Analytics code, inserting the proper Google Analytics Key;
 * SurveyName-[SID]/GroupName - {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} contains customized Google Analytics code to log the URL as {SURVEYNAME}-[{SID}]/{GROUPNAME}. This can be helpful if you want to analyze navigation paths through your survey, time spent per page, and drop-off rates per page.
 * Use global settings : If picked up, the survey will use the same Google Analytics Tracking ID as the one saved in the global settings and then you choose the desired Google Analytics style.

Participant settings
The following options are available:




 * Set token length to: Usually, the default value of 15 (max. supported value: 35) digits does not need to be changed. However, if you wish to change this setting, please enter a number (X) which is greater than 5. If the number entered is smaller than 5, it will be converted to the default value of 15. When generating tokens, all tokens will use a length of X digits;


 * Anonymized responses: It allows you to determine whether responses to your survey are matched up with information from the Survey participants table (utilized in the respective survey) or are kept "anonymous". The default is "No". If you choose "Yes", then your survey is set to anonymize responses - there will be no way to connect answers and participants. Even the survey administrator will not be able to link response data and participant/token data. However, you will always be able to specifically view each response entered by your participants in the survey. Thus individual and anonymous analyses can still be done;


 * Enable token-based response persistence: If your survey uses tokens and your responses are not anonymized, you may want to enable this feature. If you turn this on, your participants will be able to leave the survey and resume later at any time without using the Resume later function - for example, when they get distracted or their browser crashes. Upon clicking the invitation link again, they will find their survey answers still in place when they return to the survey and will even find themselves on the same page where they were before leaving;


 * Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token: If this option is activated, participants will be able to return to their survey by clicking the invitation link, even if they have already submitted the survey. If the survey is anonymous or "Enable token-based response persistence" is set to "No", this will add a new response. If the survey is not anonymous and "Enable token-based response persistence" is enabled, the user will update the existing responses;


 * Allow public registration: If you use tokens to control access to your survey, the only people who can use the survey are those who have an entry and a unique token code allocated in the Survey participants table. If you would like to use tokens, but also allow public registration, set this to "Yes". The "Yes" setting will allow visitors to register his or her name and email address. The script will create a new entry in your Survey participants table for this person, then send them an invitation email. The script will ensure that only one person per email address can complete your survey;


 * Use HTML format for token emails: When enabled, all emails sent by the token management interface (invite, reminder, confirmation) will be formatted as HTML. You'll then be able to use rich formatting for these emails. The default value is "Yes";


 * Send confirmation emails: If enabled, the participant will receive a confirmation email that the survey was submitted.

Import a survey
If you wish to import a survey, you can do that from the "Create, import, or copy survey" screen. To get there, click the Create, import, or copy a survey button and then on the Import tab. Next, click on browse to choose the file you wish to import, and then on the Import survey button.



The import process reads the following formats:
 * .LSS files (XML-format created by LimeSurvey 1.90 or later);
 * .LSA files (Survey archive which may include also token, responses and timings - available since LimeSurvey 2.0);
 * .TXT files (Text-format created by Excel - available since LimeSurvey 2.0);
 * .CSV files (Created by early LimeSurvey versions from 1.50 to 1.90).

The import function "intelligently" re-numbers the survey, groups, questions, answers, and condition IDs so that they all match each other. No existing survey is going to be overwritten during the import process.

By default, the resource links and expression fields are also imported. Basically, the more advanced type of questions are going to be also imported along questions that include complex branching, assessments, validation, and tailoring.

Once the import process is completed, a survey structure import summary will be displayed, showing whether it was successful or not:



If you wish to use another method, read our wiki on import alternatives for more information.

Copy a survey
The last tab contains the copy survey functionality and its options:




 * Select survey to copy: Select from the drop-down list the survey you want to copy;


 * New survey title: Type in the title you wish the copied survey to have;

 * Exclude survey permissions: If enabled, no survey permissions will be copied into the new survey;


 * Exclude answers: Exclude the answer options;


 * Reset conditions/relevance: Reset the conditions set in the original survey;


 * Reset start/end date/time?: Reset the set start/end date/time;


 * Reset response start ID?: Each response has a corresponding ID. If enabled, the ID of the responses will be reset. However, bear in mind that it is better not to have an id with two matching responses because it might influence the output of your survey.
