Introduction
To view a list of survey questions, from the Settings tab, click List questions.
Once clicked, the following page will be displayed.
Questions Table
The screenshot above shows (on the top-right side of the table) a search box that allows you to look for a specific question. The group filter can be applied in the case you use similar question names across multiple question groups.
The table columns are:
- Question ID: Displays a numeric value representing the ID of the question.
- Question order: Lists the order in which the questions are displayed to the participants.
- (Question) Code: The question code is mainly used with expressions.
- Question: The question text is displayed under this column.
- Question type: Displays the question type. For further details on the available LimeSurvey question types, check the following link.
- Group: Shows the group a question belongs to. For more details on question groups, click here.
- Mandatory:: To find out more about what it means for a question to be mandatory, click here. Three options can be displayed in the table:
- Not specified: The question is not mandatory.
- Specified: The question has to be filled in by respondents.
- Not relevant: The attribute Mandatory cannot be edited (e.g., text display questions).
- Other: It refers to attribute Other. If enabled, another answer option will be displayed alongside the ones defined by you. Three options can be displayed in the table:
- Not specified: The question does not have the attribute Other enabled (no "other" answer option will be displayed alongside your defined answers).
- Specified: If specified, option Other is active. This means that an other answer option will be displayed alongside your defined question answers.
- Not relevant: Certain questions do not allow you to enable the Other option (such as text display or free text question types).
Note: For a quick introduction on questions, check the following wiki subsection.
- Quick-action buttons: The last column contains four quick action buttons:
- Question preview: Allows you to preview a question.
- Edit question: To edit the question text or other question-related attributes, click the green pencil.
- Question summary: Provides access to the most important details of the respective question, such as the question text and the enabled attributes.
- Delete: The red trash button - once clicked, you mustconfirm the question deletion, as well as the deletion of its contents (answer options and subquestions).
To check the structure of a LimeSurvey survey, please read the following wiki subsection.
