Type de question - Tableau (Augmentation-Idem-Diminution)
From LimeSurvey Manual
Description courte
Il s'agit d'un type de tableau pré-rempli avec les choix de réponse suivants : "Augmenter", "Idem" et "Diminuer". Une option de réponse « Pas de réponse » est automatiquement ajoutée si la question est définie comme non obligatoire.
Exemple : Array increase decrease example.zip
Options générales
Obligatoire
Description
Cette option permet aux administrateurs de l'enquête de demander à leurs répondants de répondre à certaines questions de l'enquête. Si les questions obligatoires ne reçoivent pas de réponse, les répondants ne pourront pas poursuivre. Si vous avez une question comportant plusieurs sous-questions et que vous souhaitez répondre à certaines sous-questions seulement, utilisez l'attribut minimum Answer situé sous l'onglet Logique.
Options disponibles
- Activé - Il faut répondre à la question avant que le participant puisse passer à la page suivante - l'option de réponse « Pas de réponse » n'est jamais affichée.
- Soft - Si la question n'obtient pas de réponse, un avertissement s'affiche lorsque vous essayez de passer à la question. la page suivante - cependant, le participant peut choisir d'ignorer l'avertissement et de continuer. Notez que l'option « Pas de réponse » est toujours affichée (si elle est activée dans les paramètres de présentation de l'enquête)
- Désactivé (par défaut) - La question peut rester sans réponse
Condition (anciennement "Équation de pertinence")
Description
Si la valeur du résultat de la condition est « 1 » ou « vrai », la question est « pertinente » dans le contexte de l'enquête, c'est-à-dire qu'elle est présentée au participant à l'enquête. Sinon, la question est cachée. Toute question d'enquête vous permet de spécifier une équation de pertinence. Cette fonction est le successeur de conditions et prend en charge une logique conditionnelle beaucoup plus complexe.
Coloration syntaxique
Chaque fois que vous enregistrez la condition, elle est évaluée et mise en évidence par la syntaxe. Toutes les erreurs seront codées par couleur afin que vous puissiez les détecter et les corriger rapidement.
Valeurs valides
- Toute condition utilisant la syntaxe ExpressionScript, sans accolades.
Exemples
Voici de bons exemples de syntaxe highlighting.
Affichage
Answer width (answer_width)
Description
This value sets the answer column width by using a percentage system. For example, if you type in this field 40, then 40 percent of the width of the question will be used for answers. The remaining width will be equally divided between the subquestions.
Valid values
- Any integer value from 1 to 100.
Hide tip (hide_tip)
Description
Most questions will usually include a tip that says "Please choose one of the following options" or a hint text on how to fill out the question. This attribute allows you to turn off or on this tips/hints.
These tips/hints include validation criteria messages (such as min/max number of answers, min/max/equals sum value). If hide_tip is enabled, these messages will be hidden. However, if the user enters invalid data, the tips will appear. They will be coloured in red, getting changed to green once the validation criteria are met.
Available options
- On - the tips/hints are hidden;
- Off (default).
Random answer order (random_order)
Description
Deprecated for Answer Options : As of 5.5.0, this attribute is not longer used for ordering answer options. Please see QS:Answer_order
This attribute causes LimeSurvey to ignore the existing order of answer options/subquestions, and instead it orders them randomly. This option permits the survey creator to diminish the survey bias. Please note that if a question has subquestions, the order of subquestions will be randomized, not the order of the answer options.
Available options
- Yes - Randomize when participant enters survey
- No (default)
Question theme (question_theme)
Description
It allows you to use customized themes for the respective question.
Available options
- Your created question themes which are located under the Question themes in the Themes panel.
See: https://manual.limesurvey.org/Question_themes
Note: This feature is under development at the moment.
Relevance help for printable survey (printable_survey_relevance_help)
Description
If you wish to print a survey, you can also print the relevance equations for each question. But, if you wish to offer instead an explanation rather than the expression on the printed form, fill in this box with the text explanation for the relevance equation.
Valid values
- Any text and/or numbers you wish to be displayed on the printable form.
Logique
Minimum answers (min_answers)
Description
This function can be used to ensure that a user selects at least a certain number of answers in a multiple choice question.
Valid values
- Any integer value above 0
- Any number
- Any SGQA code
- Any question code (variable name)
- Any equation, using ExpressionScript syntax, without surrounding curly braces.
Example
If set to X (a random number), the users can submit the survey form if they select at least X checkboxes. If this option is utilised for ranking questions, this ensures that at least three items are ranked before allowing the respondent to submit the answers/survey.
Please note that if you use this attribute with Ranking questions, you have to set the question to non-mandatory. Otherwise, all the items need to be ranked which is counter-intuitive if you decide to use the min_answers function too.
Maximum answers (max_answers)
Description
It can be used to limit the total number of answers a user can select in a multiple choice question.
Valid values
- Any number value
- Any SGQA code
- Any question code (variable name)
- Any equation, using ExpressionScript syntax, without surrounding curly braces.
Example
If set to 2, the user will only be able to check at most two checkboxes or one checkbox + fill the "Other" field (if any). For the Ranking question type, the participant would be able to select maximum two items.
Afficher dans les statistiques publiques (public_statistics)
Description
Cet attribut permet à l'administrateur de l'enquête de choisir si les résultats d'une question particulière doivent être affichés aux participants à l'enquête après avoir soumis l'enquête.
Remarque : Pour avoir les statistiques affichées sur la dernière page, n'oubliez pas d'activer cette fonctionnalité depuis le paramètres de présentation et de navigation. Dans le cas contraire, aucun lien de statistiques ne sera affiché à la fin de votre enquête.Le paramètre par défaut pour chaque question est « Désactivé » (= Ne pas afficher les statistiques de la question aux personnes interrogées). Vous devez l'activer pour chaque question si vous souhaitez afficher les statistiques d'enquête de cette (ces) question (s) particulière (s) aux participants à l'enquête après la soumission de l'enquête.
Options possibles
- On
- Off (par défaut)
Insérer un saut de page dans la vue imprimable (page_break)
Description
Cet attribut n'est actif que lorsque vous imprimez réellement une enquête à partir de la « Vue imprimable ». Cela force un saut de page avant la question.
Options disponibles
- On
- Off (par défaut)
Array filter style (array_filter_style)
Description
This function allows you to choose how the array filtered subquestions are displayed. They can either be "hidden" or "disabled".
To learn how to filter subquestions, please read the following wiki section.Available options
- Hidden (default) - if this option is selected, then the previously selected subquestions will not be displayed in the second question.
- Disabled - if this option is selected, then the previously selected subquestions will be greyed out and become unselectable.
Example
If you wish to use the "disabled" option, then the previously selected subquestions will be displayed like this:
Exclusive option (exclusive_option)
Description
The exclusive option attribute takes the code of an answer in a multiple option question so that when clicked on its corresponding checkbox, all the other previously checked options will get unchecked and get marked as read-only (=disabled). This function was created to ensure the data integrity when one of the multiple options in a multiple option question implies that no other option can be selected too. Basically, this feature marks the other attributes as being irrelevant.
Example
For a short explanation on answer codes, check first the following wiki section. Once understood, introduce the "AnswerCode" that will trigger the function once selected.
Below, you may see an example where the exclusive option attribute is used.
You can see in the first screenshot that some non-LimeSurvey options are selected:
If you click on the marked option (which is entered in the exclusive option box), the other options will get unmarked and disabled, being left only with the current option checked:
To take a closer look at our example, import the .lsq file into your LimeSurvey installation:
File:Example exclusive option question.zip.
Randomization group name (random_group)
Description
It places the questions into a specified randomization group, all questions included in the specified group being displayed in a random order to the survey respondents.
You can find a sample survey using randomization group name in ExpressionScript sample survey.
Valid values
Just enter any string you like (for example: 'group1'). All question which have set the same string within the randomization group name box will have their place in the survey randomized (=randomly exchanged among each other).
Preview
To preview the questions use the preview survey instead of the preview question group function, as the second has been reported to not show the questions in a randomized order.
Question validation equation (em_validation_q)
Description
This is an equation that is used to validate the entire question (e.g, all of its parts collectively for a multi-answer question). If the question fails the validation criteria, then em_validation_q_tip message will be displayed (it uses the CSS style .error). This tip uses the .em_q_fn_validation CSS style, which is hidden by default within template.css.
The main difference between this feature and the subquestion validation equations (em_validation_sq option) is that for this feature, if the question (or question parts) fail validation, then an error message could be shown. For the subquestion validation, each text entry cell (e.g., in an array question type, but it can also be applied to single entry question types) will be styled so that the background color is (light) red.
Valid values
- Any equation that makes use of the ExpressionScript syntax, without surrounding curly braces.
Example
- You want to collect demographic information from users via a multiple short text question, and you want to validate that the user has entered a valid email address and phone number.
This example shows how the question looks with invalid answers:
And here is what it looks like with one invalid answer:
Here is how you edit a question to enter that information:
And here is part of the Show Logic File output that lets you check the accuracy of your expression and ensure that there are no syntax errors:
As you can see, the validation equation tests that both the email and phone number are either empty or match a regular expression filter.
The validation tip only shows the warning message if the phone or email appears invalid.
If you wish to import the example from above into your LimeSurvey installation, download the following .lsq file: Em_validation_q_example.zip.
Tip for whole question validation equation (em_validation_q_tip)
Description
If you are using the question validation equation, you can use this box in order to display an optional message as question tip on how the question has to be filled out.
Valid values
- Any string or equation that makes use of the ExpressionScript syntax.
Example
See the example from the question validation equation wiki section- it shows how the tip can be tailored to show which parts of a multiple short text question fail the validation criteria.
