===Importation depuis l'écran d'administration===
From version 1.50 to 1.92 it was possible to import surveys from the command line (or shell). To use this functionality, you need to have access to the shell and the PHP interpreter has to be configured to allow shell execution of scripts.
 
If you have previously exported a survey structure, you can import it from the "Create, import, or copy survey" screen.
To get there just click the 'Create, import, or copy a survey' icon [[File:Add.png]] and in the following screen click on the 'Import' tab.
Click on the browse button to choose the file, and then click on the ''Import survey' button.
 
The import process reads the following formats:
*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_survey_structure_.28.lss.29|LSS files]] (XML-format created by LimeSurvey 1.90 or later)
*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_survey_archive_.28.lsa.29|LSA files]] (Survey archive which may include also token, responses and timings - available since LimeSurvey 2.0)
*.[[Exporting_a_survey_structure#Export_tab-separated-values_format_.28.txt.29_.28New_in_2.0_.29|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)
 
That way you can import old surveys from previous versions. The import 'intelligently' re-numbers the survey, group, question, answer, and condition IDs so that they all match each other - '''no existing surveys will be overwritten.''' See the section on [[Exporting a survey structure]] for more information.

We are often getting requests to import a survey from other applications or survey providers.

Import using the commandline utility

From version 1.50 to 1.92 it was possible to import surveys from the command line (or shell). To use this functionality, you need to have access to the shell and the PHP interpreter has to be configured to allow shell execution of scripts.

Cette fonctionnalité est très utile quand vous rencontrez des problèmes de timeout en tentant d'importer de gros questionnaires depuis l'interface web.

To use it, go to the limesurvey/admin folder in the shell and execute: 

php cmdline_importsurvey <File to import> [<user> <password>]
  • <File to import> has to be one of the described above;
  • <user> has to be a user with permission to create surveys;
  • <password> the password for the user;

If you need to see the parameters, you can execute: 

php cmdline_importsurvey -h

Import using RemoteControl API

Since LimeSurvey version 2.0, you can import a survey structure by using the RemoteControl 2 API.

Importing surveys from other applications

We are often getting requests to import a survey from other applications or survey providers. The problem is that providers (like SurveyMonkey) lock you in - it is not possible to export the survey structure (e.g. from SurveyMonkey), but only the response data.
