=== Too many questions===
When you activate your survey you may have too many questions in your survey so that the response table cannot be created.
The error would say something like 'Too many columns' in older versions of LimeSurvey. In the latest version the error message would say "The survey answer table cannot be created. This is probably caused by too many questions or sub-questions in the survey. If possible try to remove questions from the survey."
In this case you could try one or more of the following things:
* Try to remove some questions in your survey.
* Did you always use the correct question types? A common error would be to use a Multiple-choice question type with a limit of one choice instead of using a List(Radio) question type. The former one would use a lot more data fields, while the latter one uses only one.
* The length of the column names seem to matter. If you copy the survey using a small survey ID (you can set that when copying the survey) you might be able to activate the survey
* If nothing of the above helps or it is impossible to shorten the survey you could split the survey to two surveys. In that case you would auto-load the second survey at the end of the first one. You could skip the welcome screen of the second survey and the participant would barely notice the switch.

Une fois que vous êtes satisfait de la structure de votre questionnaire, vous pouvez l'activer en cliquant sur l'icône "Activer ce questionnaire" () présent dans la barre d'outils des questionnaires. L'activation d'un questionnaire exécute plusieurs opérations :

  1. Elle crée une table spécifique dans la base de données pour accueillir les différentes réponses. Cette table est composée d'autant de champs que de réponses possibles.
  2. Elle permet aux participants de saisir leurs réponses et vous donne accès à d'autres fonctionnalités liées à votre questionnaire comme le parcours des réponses ou la gestion des invitations.
  3. Elle vous donne accès à la gestion des invitations. Une fois un questionnaire activé, l'icône "Editer/Activer les invitatons pour ce questionnaire" devient accessible. Voyez la section sur les Invitations.
  4. Si votre questionnaire n'est pas anonyme, une table des invitations sera automatiquement créée.
  5. Si vous désactivez (et non expirez) le questionnaire, la table des réponses sera renommée, les informations de participation seront perdues mais vous pourrez à nouveau ajouter des questions et des groupes et modifier les paramètres du questionnaire.



Before activation, a window will be displayed, asking you about some general survey-related settings:



  • Anonymyzed responses: This option allows you to determine whether responses to your survey are matched up with information from your survey's token table, or kept "anonymous". If you decide to enable it, your survey is set to anonymize responses - there will be no way to connect answers and participants;
  • Save IP address: If enabled, the IP address of the survey respondent will be stored together with his/her answers;
  • Save timings: If enabled, the time spent on each page of the survey by each survey participant is recorded;
  • Date stamp: Turn it on if you would like to see the date the answers were submitted;
  • Save referrer URL: If enabled, the referrer URL will be stored together with the answers.

Once you are done enabling the desired functionalities, click on the Save & activate survey button. The following message will be displayed:



Select the option that suits your needs. For more information on survey participants, access the following link.


Now, copy the link to your survey and start sharing it:






By activating a survey, LimeSurvey:

  • creates a separate database table where all survey responses are stored, a new entry being added for each new collected survey response
  • allows survey administrators to manually enter data into that response table or edit the existent data


Avant d'activer un questionnaire, prenez garde aux points suivants :

  • Quand un questionnaire est activé, vous pouvez modifier les textes des questions, des réponses et des descriptions du questionnaire. Mais il n'est pas possible de changer le type des questions ni le type des réponses.
  • Une fois le questionnaire activé, vous ne pourrez plus ajouter de nouvelle question ni en supprimer. De plus, il sera impossible d'ajouter des réponses possibles aux questions de type ligne mais cela restera possible pour les questions de type liste basique.

Problems when activating the survey

Activez un questionnaire en cliquant sur le bouton correspondant de la barre d'outils. Si cet icône n'apparaît pas, cela signifie que vote questionnaire ne peut pas encore être activé. Quand vous cliquez sur cet icône, LimeSurvey procède à quelques tests de cohérence pour s'assurer que vote questionnaire se déroulera correctement.

Too many questions

When you activate your survey you may have too many questions in your survey so that the response table cannot be created. The error would say something like 'Too many columns' in older versions of LimeSurvey. In the latest version the error message would say "The survey answer table cannot be created. This is probably caused by too many questions or sub-questions in the survey. If possible try to remove questions from the survey."

In this case you could try one or more of the following things:

  • Try to remove some questions in your survey.
  • Did you always use the correct question types? A common error would be to use a Multiple-choice question type with a limit of one choice instead of using a List(Radio) question type. The former one would use a lot more data fields, while the latter one uses only one.
  • The length of the column names seem to matter. If you copy the survey using a small survey ID (you can set that when copying the survey) you might be able to activate the survey
  • If nothing of the above helps or it is impossible to shorten the survey you could split the survey to two surveys. In that case you would auto-load the second survey at the end of the first one. You could skip the welcome screen of the second survey and the participant would barely notice the switch.


  Attention : If the survey is active and you open several tabs by clicking on "Execute survey", you may not be able to fill out the survey (an error will pop up suggesting you to use the index to navigate the survey) in tabs previously opened to the last one. When that happens, please close all the tabs and make sure to open only one tab at a time to test the live version of your survey.
