- Show Question Number and/or Code: This function allows you to choose whether your survey will show participants the question number only, the question code only or both. You may also choose to hide both. Please note, the question number is shown the moment someone starts 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" option enabled and it is also not mandatory, an additional entry "No Answer" is displayed for each question/sub-question. In this way, the respondents may choose not to answer the respective question/sub-question. The following two options are available for survey administrators:
- On : If this option is selected, the respondents can choose the "No Answer" option 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 at the beginning of the questionnaire.
- Allow Backward Navigation: If enabled, this 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 will be displayed when answering questions that require typing in information.
- Show Progress Bar: When enabled, this function displays a progress bar that shows participants how much of the survey they have completed and how much is left to be completed.

- 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 at the end of the survey. Please note that the "Public Statistics" option has to be enabled to allow the survey participants to see the graphs.
- 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 options can be found under the Publication & Access Control tab:
- Start Date/Time: This is the date/time the survey starts.
- Expiry Date/Time: This function allows you to choose a date for your survey to expire. This is the last date on which the public survey script will let people participate. (Example: If you set the expiry date for the 31st of December, then people will no longer be able to fill out the survey on the 1st of January). To remove an expiry date, 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 a 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 this function if you want a survey participant to type in a CAPTCHA code when he or she loads the survey again after only a part of it was completed.
Notification & data management
The following options can be found under the Notification & Data Management tab:
- Date Stamp: Enable this functionality if you would like to see the time when the answers were submitted.
- Save IP Address: If "yes" is selected, the IP address of the survey respondent will be stored together with his or her answers.
- Save Referrer URL: If "yes" is selected, the referrer URL will be stored together with the answers.
- Save Timings: If this functionality is enabled, the time spent on each page of the survey by each 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/her responses and resume the survey at a later time. Please note that this is most useful with open surveys or surveys in which the participants are anonymous. 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 functions allow you to send notifications or survey responses to any email address once the survey is submitted. You can edit the templates for these emails from the Email templates menu. You can choose the option to send emails to multiple recipients simultaneously by separating the email address 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}").
There are different ways for entering an email address:
- Enter a specific email address (ie: yourname@test.com).
- Enter a SGQA code and the response will be sent to an email address entered as an answer to that particular question (use the format {INSERTANS:9999X88X12} in the same way you would reuse information from previous answers).
- The following is only possible if your survey is not anonymous. Enter a token code and the response will be sent to an email address retrieved from a token field. Use the format {TOKEN:EMAIL} or {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} in the same way you would re-use Information from the Survey participants table.
- Google Analytics Settings: If you would like to get details about the survey web traffic, use Google Analytics. Three options are available:
- None : Google Analytics will not be used.
- Use Settings Below : If this option is 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 ability 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 this option is chosen, 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 can be found under the Participant Settings tab:
- Set Token Length To: Usually, the default value of 15 digits does not need to be changed (the maximum supported value is 35). However, if you wish to change this setting, please enter a number (X) which is greater than 5. If the number entered is less 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: This functionality allows you to determine whether responses to your survey are matched 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 enable this feature, 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 be returned to the point in the survey where they left off with previous entries saved.
- 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 will 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:

The last tab contains the copy survey functionality and its options:
- Select survey to copy: Select the survey that you want to copy from the drop-down list.
