Question toolbar options

Introduction

Once a question was created, more edits could be necessary in order to make it look properly for your survey respondents (e.g., adding subquestions, default answers or conditions). To check all the available options that correspond to the question type you have previously selected, click on the Structure tab located on the left side of the window and select the question you wish to apply further changes to:

Question 'TestQ' is selected, which is an array dual scale question type.

Once the question is accessed, the following window is shown:

Three sections can be distinguished:

• The question bar*

• The question summary - it provides a short overview on:
  • Question Group - the question group it belongs to
  • Question ID/Code
  • Question text - the text that is displayed and read by your respondents;
  • Question type - For more details on the available LimeSurvey question types, click here;
    • Warnings - whether it is the lack of subquestions or answers, a short warning will be immediately displayed below the question type row;
  • Whether it is mandatory or not;
  • Relevance equation - for complex question and survey customizations. For more details, check the Expression Manager wiki subsection.

• The question quick actions - only the add question to the group box is displayed. Once clicked, you will be redirected to the add question panel.

LimeSurvey provides you a menu bar that contains all the corresponding options that can help you edit a certain question type.

Please note that the available options slightly differ from one question to another. For example, the bar that corresponds to the long free text question differs from the one that correspond to the array dual scale question type because it does not make use of answers or subquestions.
