General

There are two ways for closing a survey: Expiry or Deactivation. It is strongly recommended to use the expiry option to close a survey. - See below why.

Expiry

→ Edit the survey details and choose "Expire?" and a "Expiry Date".

  • No results lost
  • No respondent information lost
  • Change of questions, groups and parameters is limited
  • An expired survey is not accessible (you only see a message that the survey has expired)
  • It's possible to perform statistics on responses inside LimeSurvey

Deactivation

→ Click on "De-activate this survey" in the administration panel.

  • All results lost (at least you can not access them via LimeSurvey)
  • All respondent information lost
  • All questions, groups and parameters are editable again
  • A deactivated survey is accessible (you see all the questions, you only can not save data)
