Uwaga: Pamiętaj, że jest to tylko podstawowy przewodnik szybkiego startu. Jego celem jest przyzwyczajenie nowych użytkowników do głównych cech i funkcji LimeSurvey. Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej o LimeSurvey i jego możliwościach, czytaj dalej nasz podręcznik. Jeśli pojawią się dalsze pytania, możesz zadać je na naszym forum lub dołączyć do [irc: //irc.freenode.net/limesurvey | LimeSurvey kanału IRC]. Czekamy na wiadomość od Ciebie!

Wprowadzenie - czym jest LimeSurvey?

LimeSurvey jest darmową aplikacją ankietową online o otwartym kodzie źródłowym napisaną w PHP i rozpowszechnianą na zasadach licencji licencje / gpl-2.0.html GNU General Public License 2. Oprogramowanie umożliwia użytkownikom tworzenie i publikowanie ankiet online, zbieranie odpowiedzi, tworzenie statystyk i eksportowanie uzyskanych danych do innych aplikacji. Możesz zainstalować LimeSurvey na własnym serwerze (LimeSurvey CE) lub możesz bezpośrednio rozpocząć korzystanie z niego przez jedną z naszych usług hostingowych (LimeSurvey Pro).

Poniższy przewodnik początkowy opiera się na wykorzystaniu LimeSurvey Pro. Aby zainstalować LimeSurvey na własnym serwerze, sprawdź sekcję [1] z podręcznik LimeSurvey.

Utwórz darmowe konto LimeSurvey

LimeSurvey pozwala każdemu użytkownikowi utworzyć darmowe konto w celu przetestowania jego możliwości i podstawowych funkcji. Aby go wypróbować, najedź myszką na zakładkę „Pricing”, która znajduje się na górnym pasku narzędzi LimeSurvey i poszukaj linku o nazwie "Editions & Pricing" znajdującego się pod napisem "LimeSurvey Pro":




Pojawią się cztery opcje: "free", "basic", "expert" i "enterprise" . Kliknij przycisk "Register Now" w polu wyboru "Free option box":

Four options will be displayed when Pricing is selected: Free, Basic, Expert, and Enterprise. Click on Register Now in the FREE option box (you will be redirected to the registration page).





Następny krok obejmuje wypełnienie następujących pól:

  • 'Nazwa użytkownika:' nazwa użytkownika twojego konta, która będzie również używana do uzyskania dostępu do instalacji LimeSurvey;
  • 'Email:' adres e-mail, na który zostanie wysłana wiadomość z linkiem aktywacyjnym;
  • 'Password:' hasło do konta, które będzie również używane do uzyskania dostępu do instalacji LimeSurvey.



Po najechaniu myszką na każde z pól, pojawią się pola tekstowe z dalszymi szczegółami. Opcjonalnie możesz także subskrybować biuletyn LimeSurvey, aby uzyskać pomoc, porady i wskazówki, zniżki na usługi i najnowsze wiadomości.

'Uwaga' : Możesz zrezygnować z subskrypcji w dowolnym momencie uzyskując dostęp do menu profilowego i odznaczając opcję newslettera LimeSurvey z listy mailingowej, która znajduje się pod Twoim profilem społeczności.
 ! N! ! N! Aby przyspieszyć proces rejestracji, LimeSurvey pozwala każdemu użytkownikowi zarejestrować się za pomocą własnego konta Twitter, Gmail lub GitHub. LimeSurvey zbierze podstawowe informacje wymagane z wybranego źródła.


Po utworzeniu konta LimeSurvey, klikając przycisk „ZAREJESTRUJ SIĘ”, otrzymasz od nas wiadomość e-mail. Ta wiadomość zawiera link aktywacyjny, który należy kliknąć, aby uzyskać dostęp do nowo utworzonego konta. Po kliknięciu zostaniesz przekierowany na stronę LimeSurvey, automatycznie logując się do swojego konta LimeSurvey.

Setting Up Your Survey Site

Aby uzyskać dostęp do linku ankiety, musisz najpierw utworzyć instalację. Kliknij swoją nazwę użytkownika na głównym pasku narzędzi, a następnie przejdź do 'your LimeSurvey profile' :



Wybierz 'Instalacje' z menu profilowego znajdującego się po lewej stronie ekranu i utwórz instalację:

The process can take up to 20 seconds. When the process is complete, the window will close and you will be taken back to your account page.



Możesz teraz uzyskać dostęp do swojego serwera, klikając „administracyjny adres URL”. Aby zalogować się do instalacji LimeSurvey, użyj poświadczeń LimeSurvey.org:




Zacznij korzystać z LimeSurvey

Po zalogowaniu znajdziesz się na stronie głównej instalacji LimeSurvey. Zawiera pasek narzędzi znajdujący się w prawej górnej części okna i zestaw pól, z których każdy odpowiada sześciu skrótom funkcji LimeSurvey, umieszczonym na środku strony głównej.

Pasek narzędzi zawiera następujące opcje:



  • Poradniki: Jeśli klikniesz tę opcję, uzyskasz dostęp do wbudowanych samouczków LimeSurvey. Na przykład jeden samouczek, do którego można uzyskać dostęp z dowolnej instalacji LimeSurvey 3+, to ""Przewodnik dla początkujących""
  • Konfiguracja: Po wybraniu pojawi się okno dialogowe, z którego można administrować twoją instalacja LimeSurvey.
    • Ustawienia: W tej zakładce możesz znaleźć opcje, które pomogą Ci dostosować instalację LimeSurvey.
      • Ustawienia strony startowej: Użytkownicy mogą użyć tej opcji, aby dostosować ustawienia strony głównej zgodnie ze swoimi potrzebami;
      • Ustawienia globalne: Zmiany dokonane tutaj wpływają na całą instalację LimeSurvey;
      • Menedżer wtyczek: Pozwala każdemu użytkownikowi aktywować szereg wtyczek zaprojektowanych przez zespół LimeSurvey. Nowe wtyczki mogą być również dodawane.
    • Użytkownicy: W tej zakładce możesz znaleźć opcje związane z zarządzaniem użytkownikami i uczestnikami ankiet.
      • Administratorzy ankiet: stąd można dodać nowych administratorów ankiet;

The boxes are shortcuts (click on them) for the different LimeSurvey functionalities. The boxes and their number can be changed from Configuration -> Home page settings.




Create a Survey

To create a survey, click on the Create survey box.



The Create survey page will be displayed.



The following options will be displayed:

  • Survey Title: Type in your survey title here. This is a required field. The title of the survey can be changed later.
  • Basic Language This is the language used in the survey. The settings of the survey can be modified later to support additional languages.
  • Sample Question: This feature is disabled by default. You can enable it to add a question group and question examples to your survey.
  • End URL: If users finish filling out the questionnaire you have the option to redirect them to another page. If you wish to redirect them, place the URL into the field and activate the "automatically load URL" option that is located under the Presentation & navigation tab.
  • URL Description: A brief "End URL" description can be added if the user is re-directed to another webpage not related to the survey. It may be helpful to add a note (explaining the reason for the redirection to the respective URL).
  • Date Format: This option is important when you want to record timestamps together with the survey participants' answers. You can click on it to display a drop-down list of date formats. Choose the date format that your survey respondents will recognize (remember that different dates are used across the world).
  • Decimal Format: Two options are available: dot (.) and comma (,). Select the one that is most widely used in the region where your survey will be conducted (e.g., US vs Germany).
  • Description: A short description of the survey can be added here.
  • Welcome Message: The survey participants will receive this welcome message if anything is typed in.
  • End Message: Enter the message that participants will see once they submit their answers to the questionnaire (when the survey is complete).


There are six options on the top toolbar. The one you just read about is Text elements. The other five are: General settings, Presentation & navigation, Publication & access control, Notification & data management, and Participant settings (known as Tokens). Clicking on each will display more advanced menus. You can use them to enhance your survey. The survey can be enhanced later from its settings once it is created, so selecting enhancements here is not required.


After completing the fields, click the Save and Close button located in the upper-right corner of the window. You will be redirected to the home page of your newly added survey.


Create a Question Group

A question group is used to group different elements of a survey like descriptions, questions, and responses.

To create a question group, first choose the survey you want to add the question group to. You will find this option in the top toolbar of LimeSurvey's home page.



Click on the survey you wish to add the question group to. The survey page will be displayed. The menu on the left contains two tabs: settings and structure. It is necessary to work from the Structure tab when adding questions and question groups.


The menu will appear as follows when the Structure tab is selected.



Next, click on the Add question group button. The following page will be displayed.



  • Title: This is the name of the survey group.
  • Description: A short description of the question group can be typed in. It will be displayed to the survey participants if the corresponding option is enabled from the settings of the survey.
  • Randomization Group: This function is used to randomize certain question groups (the same must be allocated to the respective question groups).
  • Relevance Equation This feature is used as a way to limit respondents to certain question groups based on their previous responses.

Click the Save button in the upper-right part of the window once you are done.

The last two fields on the screenshot, Randomization Group and Relevance Equation, are left empty because knowledge about the expression manager of LimeSurvey is required. If you would like to read more about them, start with our wiki on question groups.
  Warning : You must create a question group first in order to start adding questions to your survey.


Create a Question

Remember that you must first create a question group in order to create a new question. Please check the steps presented above to see how you can add a question group to a survey.

Once you have finished creating the survey and adding a question group, select the Structure tab again and click on the add question button or click on the “add new question to group” button under the "Group quick actions" heading.



Once clicked, the Create question page will be displayed. It contains the following options:



  • Code is a representation of the individual question name/code with which the survey is stored in the database.
  • Question: This is the name of the question as it will appear to survey participants.
  • Help: This is a short text that can be provided to help the survey participants better understand the question.
  • General Options: The functionalities found in this option allow you to change the most important question-related settings. It includes four options:
    • Question Type: Many question types can be used in LimeSurvey. To better understand them, hover the mouse over each option or read our wiki on questions.
    • Question Group: Here you can choose which question group you would like to add the question to.
    • Validation: This feature is available on all free text type or numeric questions. It is used for response validation. If the response is not validated, the user will be prompted to try again before they can progress.
    • Mandatory: This option is available for all question types. This setting allows you to require users to answer the question before they can move on to the next question.
    • Relevance Equation: This is a setting for advanced users. We recommend that the default value of "1" is used (it means that the item will always be shown).

Please note that, depending on the type of question selected, different tabs will be displayed below the General settings tab. To find out more about this, we suggest that you to first read the following wiki section.

For example, if the Long free text question type is selected (the default option), then the following tabs will be displayed: General options, Display, Input, Logic, Other, Statistics, Timer. Click on the Save button. You will be redirected to a page that contains the summary of the recently added question.



To add more questions, follow the same procedure described above.

Add Subquestions and Answers

Different types of questions require subquestions, predefined sets of answers, both or neither. For example, a question that requires the age of a survey participant does not require any subquestion or predefined set of answers. On the other hand, a simple array question requires both subquestions and answers.

The lack of subquestions and/or sets of answers is highlighted if they are absent in the questions summary.

The next screenshot contains an array-type question.



Add subquestions

To add subquestions, go to the top toolbar and click on Edit subquestions. Type in the subquestions you wish the survey participants to answer.



Click on the green plus sign located under the Actions column to add more subquestions.

Add Answers

To add a set of predefined answers, go to the top toolbar and click on Edit answer options. Type in the answers.



Click on the green plus sign located under the Actions column to add more answer options.

Save the set of answers and preview the question (look for the Preview question button located on the top toolbar).



Our question looks like this:



Congratulations! You have successfully created your first array-type question.

Organize Questions

If your survey contains dozens of questions, it is a time-consuming process to access each question and/or question group and edit the order one-by-one. The survey Structure menu allows you to quickly reorganize your questions and question groups. Select the Structure tab from the menu on the left and click on the three-line symbol that is located in front of the question or group name and drag it to its new location.


Activate/Stop Survey

Now that you have at least one question and question group added to your survey, you can activate it. Select the Settings tab from the menu on the left and click on the Overview option. The following page will be displayed.



Click the Activate this survey button on the toolbar.




Before activation, a window will be displayed asking you about general survey settings.



  Attention : You will not be able to add or delete groups, questions, subquestions or change their codes once the survey is activated.


  • Anonymized Responses: This option allows you to decide if the information in your survey's token table is matched to the responses in your survey or kept anonymous. If you decide to enable it, your survey is set to anonymize responses. You will not be able to link answers to respondents.
  • Save IP Address: If enabled, the IP address of the survey respondent will be stored together with his/her answers.
  • Save Timings: If enabled, the time spent on each page of the survey by each survey participant is recorded.
  • Date Stamp: Turn this option on if you would like to see the date the answers were submitted.
  • Save Referrer URL: If enabled, the referrer URL will be stored together with the answers.

Once the desired functionalities have been enabled, just click on the Save & activate survey button. The following message will be displayed.



Select the option No, thanks to disable the closed-access mode! This will allow everyone to access to your survey using the survey link.

Click the 'Expert mode' button in the upper-right part of the window to access more statistics-related filters.

Once you have chosen your filters, click on the View Statistics button in the upper-right corner of the window.
