|
| All survey settings and functions are organized in tabs. The following is a description of each tab and field.
| | =Introduction= |
|
| |
|
| ==General==
| |
| *1. '''Idioma base''': Establece el idioma base de la encuesta. Una vez grabado no se puede cambiar. Este idioma es la base para posibles traducciones de la encuesta. Durante la creación de la encuesta no se pueden añadir idiomas, pero esto se puede hacer editando las propiedades de la encuesta una vez finalizada.
| |
| *2. '''Título''': Es un nombre breve y descriptivo para la encuesta. Este título estará presente en todas las páginas de la encuesta.
| |
| *3. '''Descripción''': Permite añadir una descripción de la encuesta. Se pueden incorporar elementos HTML como imágenes o videos en esta sección utilizando el editor WYSIWYG. La descripción es incluida en el correo electrónico de invitación.
| |
| *4. '''Mensaje de Bienvenida''': Permite crear un mensaje que será visible cuando el participante entre por primera vez a su encuesta. Se pueden incorporar elementos HTML como imágenes o videos en esta sección utilizando el editor WYSIWYG.
| |
| *5. '''Mensaje Final''': Permite crear un mensaje que será visible cuando el participante finalice su encuesta. Se pueden incorporar elementos HTML como imágenes o videos en esta sección utilizando el editor WYSIWYG.
| |
| *6. '''URL Final''': Este URL estará presente como un enlace al final de la encuesta, lo cual permite redirigir al participante a cualquier página en la web. Debe ser entrado con "http://" al principio. Puede usar {SAVEDID}, {TOKEN}, {SID} y {LANG} en el URL.
| |
| **SAVEDID es la identificación de una encuesta en particular, TOKEN es utilizado para identificar a un participante en particular, SID es la identificación de la encuesta como tal y LANG es el lenguaje del código.
| |
| **Ejemplo: http://www.limesurvey.org/test.php?var1={SAVEDID}&var2;={TOKEN}&var3;={SID}⟨={LANG}
| |
| **De la versión 1.82 en adelante se pueden usar campos URL como por ejemplo {INSERTANS:SGQA} en este URL Final. Esto permite añadir la respuesta a una pregunta específica al URL Final.
| |
| **Esto puede ser útil para enviar una respuesta particular a un "External Script". También puede usar el nombre de un campo y relacionarlo a un valor en el URL. En algunos casos usted podría querer pasar un valor en el principio de la encuesta y después utilizarlo en una "External Script" al final. En este caso usted empezaría la encuesta con el URL "index.php?sid=12345&passthru;=subsid&subsid;=9999". Luego utilizaría {PASSTHRULABEL} y {PASSTHRUVALUE} para reusar esos valores al final de la encuesta. Un URL como "http://www.limesurvey.org/test.php?{PASSTHRULABEL}={PASSTHRUVALUE}" se convertiría en "http://www.limesurvey.org/test.php?subsid=9999".
| |
| *11. '''Descripción del URL''': Una descripción para el enlace del URL final.
| |
| *12. '''Administrador''': Este es el nombre de la persona contacto quien administra la encuesta, será incluido en correos electrónicos enviados para invitar a los participantes.
| |
| *13. '''Correo Electrónico del Administrador''': Este es la dirección de correo electrónico del administrador previamente definido. Cualquier respuesta a correos electrónicos enviados llegara a esta dirección. Pueden ser varias direcciones separadas por punto y coma (;).
| |
| *14. '''Correo Electrónico de Rebote''': Esta es la dirección a la cual de haber un error de envío un mensaje es mandado. Usualmente es la misma dirección que la del administrador.
| |
| *15. '''Fax''': Este campo se utiliza para dar un número de fax en la versión impresa de la encuesta.
| |
|
| |
|
| <div class="simplebox">'''Caution''': the HTML WYSIWYG editor doesn't allow you to upload files during the survey creation process. Trying to do so will end up with an error message like: "''This file uploader is disabled''". If you need to upload pictures or any other ressources, please do so after survey creation, by editing the newly created survey.</div>

| |
|
| ==Notification & data management==
| |
| #'''Send basic admin notification email to:''' and '''Send detailed admin notification email to:''' These fields allow you to send notifications or survey responses to additional email addresses once the survey is submitted. You can edit the templates for these emails under 'Email templates'. Multiple recipients can be set by seperating the entries with a semicolon (;) - eg "yourname@test.com; myname@test.com;hisname@test.com" OR when using placeholders "yourname@test.com;{INSERTANS:82733X12X73};{TOKEN:EMAIL}". Make sure that at least your administrator email is set properly in the survey settings - otherwise no email will be sent or there will be an 'Invalid address:' message when a participant finishes a survey. Please note that there are three different ways for entering an address:
| |
| ##Enter a specific ''email address'' (ie: yourname@test.com)
| |
| ##Enter a ''SGQA code'' and the response will be sent to an email address entered as an answer to that particular question (use the format {INSERTANS:9999X88X12}, in the same way you would [[Adding a question#Information from previous answers|Re-use information from previous answers]])
| |
| ##Enter a ''Token code'' (only possible if your survey is ''not'' anonymous) and the response will be sent to an email address retrieved from a token field (use the format {TOKEN:EMAIL} or {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} in the same way you would [[Adding a question#Information from tokens table|Re-use Information from the Tokens Table]])
| |
| ##''As of Version 1.92:'' Enter a valid expression conforming to [[Expression Manager|Expression Manager]] syntax. This lets you use question code instead of SGQA syntax (for easier readability), plus conditional logic (e.g. route the notifications to different people depending upon the data entered into the survey).
| |
| #'''Date stamp?''': This field allows you to determine whether the survey will datestamp all responses. If you choose "Yes", then when a response is submitted, a field will be included in that response indicating the time and date that the response was made. (See configuration settings for $timeadjust setting.)
| |
| #'''Save IP address?''': This field allows you to determine whether the survey will save an IP-address for all responses. If you choose "Yes", then when a response is submitted, a field will be included in that response indicating the ip-address of the participant.
| |
| #'''Save referrer URL?''': This field allows you to determine whether the survey will save the referrer URL for all responses. If you choose "Yes", then when a response is submitted, a field will be included in that response where this URL is saved. A referrer URL is the URL from which the user was led to your survey URL.
| |
| #'''Enable assessment mode?''': With this setting you can enable/disable [[Assessments|assessments]] for this survey.
| |
| #'''Save timings''': If activate then on survey activation a separate table will be created where timings for your questions will be saved, e.g. how long a user stays on one page during taking the survey.
| |
| #'''Participant may save and resume later?''': This setting allows a participant to save his responses and resume to answer the survey at a later time. Please note that this makes most sense with open surveys or surveys with anonymized answer. If you are using tokens and the survey is not anonymous in most cases it is better to activate 'Token-based response persistence' in the token tab.
| |
| #'''Google Analytics API Key for this survey''': Allows for integration with Google Analytics. The API key can be inserted into templates using {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_API_KEY}. The full JavaScript that Google Analytics expects (including the key) can be included in templates via {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT}
| |
| #'''Google Analytics Style for this Survey''': Choices are:
| |
| ##'''Do not use Google Analytics''' - so {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} is an empty string
| |
| ##'''Default Google Analytics''' - {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} uses the standard Google Analytics code, inserting the proper Google Analytics Key
| |
| ##'''SurveyName-<nowiki>[</nowiki>SID]/GroupName''' - {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} contains customized Google Analytics code to log the URL as {SURVEYNAME}-<nowiki>[</nowiki>{SID}]/{GROUPNAME}. This can be helpful if you want to analyze navigation paths through your survey, time spent per page, and drop-off rates per page.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Google API howto''':
| | *[[Survey settings#Overview|Overview]] |
| # Register/login on Google Analytics (GA): [http://www.google.com/analytics/ www.google.com/analytics/] | | *[[Survey settings#General settings|General settings]] |
| # Create a key (the site should not point to the survey, but to the part before 'index.php?') The key should be UA-xxxxx. | | *[[Survey settings#Survey texts|Text elements]] |
| # Go to your survey's global settings in LimeSurvey. | | *[[Survey settings#Data policy settings|Data policy settings]] |
| # Put the key in appropriate field (Google Analytics API Key). It's probably the best to set GA Style to track all pages as you can have more info. | | *[[Survey settings#Theme options|Theme options]] |
| # You don't need to do anything in shipped templates, as the {GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_JAVASCRIPT} part is already there. | | *[[Survey settings#Presentation|Presentation]] |
| # Activate the survey. | | *[[Survey settings#Participant settings|Participant settings]] |
| # Do the survey. | | *[[Survey settings#Notifications & data|Notifications & data]] |
| # Go to GA panel mainsite. (select appropriate account in left-hand upper corner if you have more than one). You should see some graphs with the statistics. Beware of the dates in upper right corner. | | *[[Survey settings#Publication & access|Publication & access]] |
|
| |
|
| ==TOKENS==
| |
| *1. '''Respuestas anónimas''': Esto permite escoger entre recopilar información de los participantes (utilizar TOKENS) o mantener la encuesta anónima.
| |
| *2. '''Permitir editar respuestas después de completar''': Esto permite que el usuario pueda re-acceder la encuesta mediante la invitación y cambiar sus respuestas (solo funciona con encuestas no anónimas).
| |
| *3. '''Activar persistencia de respuestas basadas en TOKENS''': Esto permite que cada vez que el participante conteste una pregunta se grabe la encuesta automáticamente (solo funciona si la encuesta tiene TOKENS y no es anónima).
| |
| *4. '''Permitir registración pública''': Si usted utiliza TOKENS en su encuesta las únicas personas que pueden acceder la misma son las que tienen un TOKEN único de la tabla de TOKENS. Si usted quiere utilizar TOKENS y permitir registración publica seleccione esta opción. Esto permite que un visitante se registre con su nombre y correo electrónico; se creará un TOKEN nuevo para esta persona y luego se le enviará la invitación.
| |
| *5. '''Usar formato HTML para correos electrónicos con TOKENS''': Seleccione Si o No para que todos los correos electrónicos enviados por la administración de TOKENS (invitación, recordatorio, confirmación) sean formateados con HTML.
| |
| *6. '''Definir el largo de un TOKEN''': El número definido debe ser mayor que 5 y menor que 99.
| |
|
| |
|
| #'''Anonymized responses?''': This allows you to determine whether responses to your survey are matched up with information from your surveys tokens table, or kept 'anonymous'. The default is 'No'. If you choose 'Yes' then your survey is set to radically anonymize responses - there is really no way to connect answers and participants. Even the admin can't link response data and participant/token data. However you will always be able to specifically view each response entered by your participants in the survey. Thus individual, but anonymous, statistics is still possible to do. '''''Attention:''''': If this feature is activated the response submission date and the token completed date are always set to 1980-01-01 00:00, no matter of other settings. Why? Invalidating the submission date ensures no match with webserver logs where the token key might show up when a survey is started. Invalidating the token completed date makes sure that you can't align the order of submitted responses to the order of the token date/time.
| | In the screenshot above, two buttons are emphasized. They can be used by users to rearrange the survey settings menu dimensions. If you wish to rearrange the main survey settings menu, drag the right side of the menu to the left or to the right by clicking the '''three-dots'''. If you click the '''left arrowhead''', the menu collapses and is minimized until the only a side menu with icons is left. To go back to the default view of the survey settings menu, click the '''right arrowhead''' located above the survey settings menu. Hover the mouse over each option to see what each icon does. |
|
| |
|
| #'''Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token?''': Default: No . If you activate this setting the participants may return to his survey by clicking the invitation link, even if he already submitted the survey. If survey is anonymous or Enable token-based response persistence is set to NO, this add a new responses. If survey is not anonymous and Enable token-based response persistence is Yes, user update existing responses.
| | <div class="simplebox">[[File:help.png]] '''Note''': The menu can be changed/edited from the [[Menu configuration]] and [[Menu entries configuration]] pages. They can be accessed from the LimeSurvey configuration dialog. '''We recommend that only advanced users edit menus.'''</div> |
|
| |
|
| #'''Enable token-based response persistence''': If your survey uses tokens and your responses are not anonymized, then you may want to enable this feature. If you turn this on, then your participants can leave your survey and resume later at any time without using the 'Resume later' function - for example if he/she gets distracted or his browser crashes. Upon clicking the invitation link again he will find his survey answers so far still in place when returns to the survey and will even continue on the last page seen.
| |
|
| |
|
| #'''Allow public registration''': If you use tokens to control access to your survey, the only people who can use the survey are those who have an entry and a unique token from the token table. If you would like to use tokens, but also allow public registration, set this to "Yes". The "Yes" setting will allow a visitor to register his name and email address. The script will create a new entry in your tokens table for this person, then send them an invitation email. The script will ensure that only one person per email address can complete your survey.
| | {{Note|The survey menu (located below the survey settings) is described [[Survey menu|here]].}} |
|
| |
|
| #'''Use HTML format for token emails?''': When set to yes, all emails sent by the token management interface (invite, reminder, confirmation) will be formatted as HTML. You'll then be able to use rich formatting for this emails. Default is Yes at survey creation. Caution, when you switch on/off this feature, you'll have to double check that your email templates are still displayed as you want.
| | =Overview= |
|
| |
|
| #'''Set token length to''': Usually you don't need to change this, the default setting of 15 digits (max. supported value: 99) is fine. If changing this setting please enter a number (X) which should be greater than 5 (if the number entered is <5 it will be converted to the default value of 15). When generating tokens all tokens will use a length of X digits.
