Obvezno

Opis

Ta možnost skrbnikom ankete omogoča, da od svojih anketirancev zahtevajo, da odgovorijo na določena anketna vprašanja. Če na obvezna vprašanja ne odgovorijo, anketiranci ne bodo mogli nadaljevati. Če imate vprašanje z več podvprašanji in zahtevate odgovor le na določena podvprašanja, uporabite atribut minimalni odgovor, ki se nahaja pod zavihkom Logika.

Razpoložljive možnosti

• Vklopljeno - na vprašanje je treba odgovoriti, preden lahko udeleženec nadaljuje na naslednjo stran - možnost odgovora 'Brez odgovora' ni nikoli prikazana.
• Soft - Če na vprašanje ni odgovorjeno, se ob poskusu nadaljevanja prikaže opozorilo naslednja stran - vendar se lahko udeleženec odloči, da opozorilo prezre in nadaljuje. Upoštevajte, da je možnost 'Brez odgovora' še vedno prikazana (če je aktivirana v nastavitvah predstavitve ankete)
• Izklopljeno (privzeto) - Vprašanje lahko ostane brez odgovora

If the map is enabled as a google map, and the question is set to mandatory, the survey user must move the red point, or enter the Lat/Long text box.  The user may not merely rely on the default, and hit the "NEXT" button.  It is recommended that you so advise in the substance of the question text.

Preverjanje (z uporabo regularnih izrazov) (preg_validation)

Opis

Ta možnost vam omogoča, da določite regularni izraz, s katerim lahko potrdite vse dele vprašanja.

Če vrednost katerega koli vprašanja ali podvprašanja ne izpolnjuje zahtev za preverjanje veljavnosti, bo barva ozadja polja za vnos besedila spremenjena v rdečo, tako da lahko uporabniki zlahka vidijo, katere dele vprašanja je treba popraviti. Tako lahko opravite preverjanje na strani. Na ta način vam 'ne bo treba čakati, da uporabnik klikne na gumb za oddajo, da potrdi zadevno vprašanje.

'Veljavne vrednosti

• Vsak veljaven regularni izraz

Pogoj (prej "Enačba ustreznosti")

Opis

Če je rezultat pogoja »1« ali »true«, je vprašanje v kontekstu ankete »relevantno«, torej se prikaže anketirancu. Če ne, je vprašanje skrito. Vsako anketno vprašanje vam omogoča, da določite enačbo pomembnosti. Ta funkcija je naslednica pogojev in podpira veliko bolj zapleteno pogojno logiko.

Označevanje sintakse

Kadarkoli shranite pogoj, je ovrednoten in sintaktično poudarjen. Morebitne napake bodo označene z barvami, da jih boste lahko hitro odkrili in odpravili.

 Hint: Če želite preveriti, ali so vsi pogoji v vaši anketi pravilno uporabljeni, preberite o naši funkciji prikaži logično datoteko.

Veljavne vrednosti

• Kateri koli pogoj, ki uporablja sintakso ExpressionScript brez okoliških zavitih oklepajev.

Primeri

Tu so dobri primeri označevanja sintakse.

Napredne nastavitve

Predpona (predpona)

Opis

Besedilna vrednost, ki bo prikazana kot predpona pred poljem(-i) za vnos besedila. Predpona je prikazana levo od vnosa.

Če je zaslon majhen, bo nad vnosom prikazana predpona. Če ga želite pustiti na levi strani ^{(New in 3.0.0 )} : dodajte vprašanju razred suffix-prefix-force.

Veljavne vrednosti

• Vsak znak ali nabor znakov, ki jih želite prikazati pred vnosom

Primer

Če bi za ta atribut vnesli vrednost "$", bi bil neposredno pred poljem za vnos besedila prikazan znak za dolar.

Pripona (končnica)

Opis

Besedilna vrednost, ki bo pripona k polju za vnos besedila. Pripona je prikazana tik ob vnosu.

Na majhnem zaslonu: pripona je prikazana pod vnosom. Če ga želite pustiti desno ^{(New in 3.0.0 )} : vprašanju dodajte razred suffix-prefix-force.

Veljavne vrednosti

• Vsak znak ali nabor znakov, za katerega želite, da se prikaže po vnosu

Primer

Če bi za ta atribut vnesli vrednost »%«, bi bil takoj za poljem za vnos besedila prikazan znak za odstotek.

Prikaži vrstice (display_rows)

Opis

Nastavi število vrstic, ki so prikazane brez uporabe drsnega traku za preverjanje celotne vsebine. Če je več vrstic, kot je navedeno v tem polju, se prikaže drsni trak. Privzeta vrednost za "Vrsta vprašanja z dolgim prostim besedilom" je 5, medtem ko je za "Vrsta vprašanja z ogromnim prostim besedilom" 30.

'Veljavne vrednosti

• Kakršno koli pozitivno celo število, večje od 0

Širina vnosnega polja (text_input_width)

Opis

Ta atribut nastavi širino polj za vnos besedila ("ovija" polj za vnos besedila). V polje za vnos vnesemo odgovor na (pod)vprašanje. Če je vrednost širine dovolj visoka, se polje za vnos besedila prikaže v naslednji vrstici. Upoštevajte, da ta možnost ne nastavi velikosti vnosa ali širine celotnega stolpca!

Razpoložljive možnosti

• Privzeto: če je izbrano, bo temu atributu dodeljena privzeta vrednost tako, da sta oznaka in njeno ustrezno polje za vnos besedila v isti vrstici. Če je na primer širina polja za vnos besedila 41 %, bo vrednost širine polja za vnos besedila vrednost, ki omogoča, da sta oznaka in polje za vnos v isti vrstici (v tem primeru 58 %). Če bi bila širina polja za vnos besedila višja od 58 %, bi bilo polje za vnos besedila prikazano v naslednji vrstici.
• 8%; 17 %...92% , 100 %: večja kot je izbrana vrednost, večja je širina polja za vnos besedila.

Primer

• Če želite, da se vnosni del prikaže pod podvprašanjem/oznako, na spustnem seznamu izberite možnost 100 %.

Vedno skrij to vprašanje (skrito)

Opis

Če je omogočeno, bo vprašanje vedno skrito – ne bo prikazano udeležencem ankete. To funkcijo je mogoče uporabiti v naslednjih scenarijih:

• Če želite vprašanje vnaprej izpolniti z URL-jem in ne želite, da se prikaže na zaslonu. To preglasi vse pogoje, uporabljene v anketi, ker zadevno vprašanje sploh ne bo vdelano na stran.
• Če želite sproti shraniti ali izračunati vrednost prek ExpressionScript - Presentation.

Opomba: Pogosta vrsta vprašanja, ki se uporablja s to funkcijo, je Equation.

'Razpoložljive možnosti

• Vklopljeno
• Izklopljeno (privzeto)

Največje število znakov (maximum_chars)

Opis

To vam omogoča, da nastavite največje število znakov, ki jih lahko vnesete za besedilno vprašanje. Vnos vrednosti, na primer 20, pomeni, da udeleženec ne more vnesti več kot 20 znakov.

'Veljavne vrednosti

• Katera koli cela vrednost nad 0

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.

Use mapping service (location_mapservice)

Description

If this option is activated, then the free text question type will display a map and not a text box to the respondents (they cannot be used both together concurrently).

Available options

• Off (default)
• OpenStreetMap via MapQuest
• Google Maps

  Google Maps needs a valid Google Map API Key!

If the Google Maps option is selected and the question is set to mandatory, the respondent must move the red point or enter the geographical data in the latitude/longitude textbox. The user cannot rely on the default values and hit the "Next" button. It is highly recommended to advise the users about this beforehand in the question text.

Advanced

OpenStreetMap via MapQuest uses GeoNames for the search box (with a user created for LimeSurvey). If you need to be sure that your access has not been restricted or if you use the GeoNames API a lot, the best best solution is to use GeoNames Webservices and set it up in your config.php file.

IP as default location (location_nodefaultfromip)

Description

If enabled, the default position on the map should be based on the user's IP address.

For this to work you have to set a valid key in IP Info DB API Key.

Available options

• Yes (default)
• No

Save country (location_country)

Description

If enabled, the country information will be stored in the survey results table. Only usuable with google map and a valid google map API key.

Available options

• Yes
• No (default)

Save city (location_city)

Description

If activated, the city information will be stored in the survey results table. Only usable with Google Maps and a valid Google Maps API key.

Available options

• Yes
• No (default)

Save state (location_state)

Description

If activated, the state information will be stored in the survey results table. Only usable with Google Maps and a valid Google Maps API key.

Available options

• No (default)
• Yes

Save postal code (location_postal)

Description

Enable this option if you wish the postal code to be stored in the survey results table. Only usuable with google map and a valid google map API key.

Available options

• Yes
• No

Default position (location_defaultcoordinates)

Description

Type in here the latitude and longitude where the map will be centered when loaded.

Example

Latitude [space] longitute: 52.1605 9.8438

Zoom level (location_mapzoom)

This options allows the survey administrator to set the zoom level for the map.

Valid values

• The minimum value that can be inserted is 0, while the maximum is 11.

Example

The below image shows a 500x300 map using zoom level = 5:

Map width (location_mapwidth)

Set in this field the width of the map in pixels. The default value is 500px.

Map height (location_mapheight)

Set in this field the height of the map in pixels. The default value is 300.

Numbers only (numbers_only)

Description

If you enable this option, the participant can only enter numbers in the text box(es).

For the equation question types, this setting indicates that the result could only be a number, not a string. This will guarantee proper calculations/conversions in follow-up equations regarding the decimal mark.

Behavior by question type

1. Default: If the subject enters a value that is not a number, that value is immediately cleared from the text box so that the subject can enter an appropriate value.
2. Array (Texts): If the numbers only option is disabled, the "Show totals for" and "Show grand total" options will be overruled, while the total text boxes will not be displayed.
3. Equation: Enabling this option will force the equation results to be converted to a numeric value. If the equation result is not a number (and not blank), the equation will return NaN, being saved as an empty string in the response table.

Available options

• On
• Off (default)

Insert page break in printable view (page_break)

Description

This attribute is only active when you actually print a survey from the Printable View. It forces a page break before the question.

Available options

• On
• Off (default)

Time limit (time_limit)

Description

Setting the time_limit attribute on a question will cause a countdown timer to begin counting down as soon as that question/page is loaded. At the expiry of the countdown timer the question will either automatically move on to the next page or become read-only.

Valid values

• Any positive integer number

Example

Set it to 240 to count down from 4 minutes (240 seconds).

<translate>

<onlyinclude>

Time limit action (time_limit_action)

Description

Sets the action performed when a time_limit has expired. By default the action for a time limit is "Warn and move on", which means the system will give a short warning that the time limit has expired before saving the question and effectively automatically clicking "Next >>". The alternative choices are to:

• "Move on without warning", which automatically clicks the "Next >>" button after the timer is finished but without any warning message.
• "Disable only", which disables changes in the question so the participant can't change anything, but doesn't automatically click the "Next >>" button.

This setting is only applicable if the general time limit setting is activated.

Available options

• Warn and move on (default): will warn the participant that the time has expired, and then click the next button
• Move on without warning: will immediately click the next button after the time limit has expired
• Disable only: will disable the answer after the time limit has expired but not automatically click next

Additional information

  If the question is mandatory, or a question in the group is mandatory, a JavaScript loop will be created if the mandatory question(s) is/are not answered. As a result, an error will be displayed on the screen that certain questions have not be filled in, which in turn will trigger the refresh of the page.
Instead of relying on mandatory questions, you may use expressions (read more about question and subquestion validation equations) to make the user not leave empty the answer fields. To see how the validation equations work, check the following example.

In the case in which you want to apply a timer to a question group, activate the group-by-group survey mode, set up a question to use the time limit functionality, and choose the warn and move on (default) option as time limit action. Once the question timer expires, the survey will move to the next page.

Time limit disable next (time_limit_disable_next)

Description

It allows disabling the "next" button while a time_limit countdown is occurring. Normally, even if the time limit countdown is active, if the participant wants to click "Next" and move on to the next question or question group, they can simply click on the "Next" button (thus cutting short the time spent on the question or question group). By activating this function, the next button will appear greyed out and will not be available until the countdown timer has finished.

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit setting is activated.

Available options

• On - The "Next" button will be disabled until the time limit countdown is complete.
• Off (default)

Note: If your survey uses the group by group format, this function applies to the whole group this question belongs to.

Time limit disable prev (time_limit_disable_prev)

Description

It allows disabling the "previous" button while a time_limit countdown is occurring. Normally, even if a time limit countdown is active, if the participant wants to click on "Previous" and move to the previous question or question group, they can simply click on the "Previous" button (thus cutting short the time spent on the question or question group). By activating this function, the previous button will appear greyed out and will not be available until the countdown timer has finished.

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit setting is activated.

Available options

• On - the "Previous" button will be disabled until the time limit countdown is complete.
• Off (default)

Note: If your survey uses the group by group format, this function applies to the whole group this question belongs to.

Time limit countdown message (time_limit_countdown_message)

Description

Write in this field the text message you wish to be displayed in the countdown timer during the countdown. This setting is applicable only if the general time limit setting is activated. If nothing is written, the the field will use the default value: "Time remaining".

Time limit timer CSS style (time_limit_timer_style)

Description

It allows (and overrides the default) css styling used to display the countdown timer. The default style value for this attribute will be used if it does not exist, which is: 'width: 150px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 1px solid #111; text-align: center; background-color: #EEE; margin-bottom: 5px; font-size: 8pt;'.

Any text entered into this attribute will overwrite the entire default css style, so you should ensure that care is taken when entering a value for this attribute. A simple way to hide this is to copy the default style into this attribute and add 'display: none;' to the end.

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit setting is activated.

Time limit expiry message display time (time_limit_message_delay)

Description

This attribute sets how many seconds the time_limit_message is displayed before the time_limit_action occurs. If this attribute is not set, it defaults to a value of 1 (1 second).

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit settings is activated.

Example

time_limit_message_delay: 5 = the message displays for 5 seconds

Time limit expiry message (time_limit_message)

Description

This is the text of the message that appears to the participant when the time_limit has expired. By default, this message is "Your time to answer this question has expired". If the time_limit_action attribute is set to "Move on without warning" this message is not displayed. You can set the CSS style for this text in the time_limit_message_style attribute (see below).

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit settings is activated.

Example

time_limit_message: The time limit on answering this question is now up.

Time limit message CSS style (time_limit_message_style)

Description

It allows (and overrides the default) css styling used to display the time limit message. The default style value for this attribute will be used if it does not exist, which is: 'top: 10px; left: 35%; width: 30%; height: 60px; padding: 16px; border: 8px solid #555; background-color: white; z-index: 1002; text-align: center; overflow: auto'.

Any text entered into this attribute will overwrite the entire default css style, so you should ensure that care is taken when entering a value for this attribute. It is strongly recommended that you re-use the z-index value, or that, at least, the z-index value is higher than that used for the time_limit_warning_message_style attribute (which defaults to 1001).

Example

Set to: top: 10px; left: 35%; width: 30%; height: 60px; padding: 16px; border: 8px solid #555; background-color: black; color: white; z-index: 1010; text-align: center; overflow: auto

Time limit warning message timer (time_limit_warning)

Description

With the help of this attribute, you can set the time (in seconds) when the time_limit_warning_message will be displayed before the time limit expires. Setting a value for this attribute activates the time limit warning message.

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit settings is activated. This setting also exists for a second warning message.

Example

If you set this to '20', then the time limit warning message will appear 20 seconds before the time limit countdown reaches zero.

Time limit warning message display time (time_limit_warning_display_time)

Description

It sets for how long the time_limit_warning_message is displayed before it is removed/hidden from the screen. By default, if the time_limit_warning_message appears, it will remain visible until the countdown timer has completed the countdown. If a value greater than zero is introduced in this field, the message will be hidden after that many seconds.

This setting is applicable only if the general time limit setting is activated. This setting also exists for a second warning message.

Example

time_limit_warning_display_time: 10 = The time limit warning message will disappear 10 seconds after its moment of appearance.

Time limit warning message (time_limit_warning_message)

Description

If set up, it displays the text of the warning message which is displayed for a fixed period of time before a time limit expires. The default text is "Your time to answer this question has nearly expired. You have {TIME} remaining." {TIME} is replaced by a formatted description which represents the amount of time left (i.e. "30 seconds", "1 minute or 5 seconds"). This message only appears if the time_limit_warning attribute exists. You can set from the time_limit_warning attribute when the message (time_limit_warning_message) appears.

This question attribute is only applicable if the time limit setting is activated and you set some text in the time limit warning message field. This setting also exists for a second warning message.

Example

Attention: In {TIME} the time limit to answer question will expire.

Time limit warning CSS style (time_limit_warning_style)

Description

It allows (and overrides the default) css styling used to display the time limit warning message. The default style value for this attribute will be used if it does not exist, which is: 'top: 10px; left: 35%; width: 30%; height: 60px; padding: 16px; border: 8px solid #555; background-color: white; z-index: 1001; text-align: center; overflow: auto'.

Any text entered into this attribute will overwrite the entire default css style for the warning message, so you should ensure that care is taken when entering a value for this attribute. It is strongly recommended that you re-use the z-index value, or that, at least, the z-index value be lower than that used for the time_limit_message_style attribute (which defaults to 1002).

This settings is only applicable if the general time limit setting is activated. This setting also exists for a second warning message.

Example

top: 10px; left: 35%; width: 30%; height: 60px; padding: 16px; border: 8px solid #555; background-color: gray; color: white; z-index: 1001; text-align: center; overflow: auto

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.

 Hint: In order to create complex validation messages, read about the usage of the ExpressionScript.

If you wish to import the example from above into your LimeSurvey installation, download the following .lsq file: Em_validation_q_example.zip.

 Hint: Remember, LimeSuvey uses the Perl syntax for regular expressions, so they should start and end with / (slash character)!

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.

Sub-question validation equation (em_validation_sq)

Description

This is an equation that is used to validate each subquestion (text field) individually. Any text field that does not pass these validation conditions will have its background color turned pink (using the .em_sq_fn_validation CSS style) to highlight the error. Note that this is available in addition to the regular expression-based validation option.

Valid values

Any equation that makes use of the ExpressionScript syntax, without surrounding curly braces.

Examples

For example, if you want to allow only numbers that are a multiple of 3 as answers, the equation would be:

(this / 3) == floor(this/3)

The reserved variable this is automatically replaced by a reference to the active text entry cell.

Tip for sub-question validation equation (em_validation_sq_tip)

Description

If you are using em_validation_sq, this is an optional message/tip that will be displayed if the introduced answer is incorrect.

Valid values

• Any string

Example

• Continuing the example of validating emails, the tip might be "Please enter valid email addresses."
