Survey theme/template:
==================Hi, all!I am a newbie in using of LimeSurvey, thus please excuse me, if my question is obvious or badly asked.I need to create two-part survey or two dependable surveys. At first step the survey will be without any restrictions for self-admission (free without a registration).  After that I will sample manually some respondents to be visited by an interviewer. For this step I will need to create a closed survey with tokens. My problem is that I need the interviewers to review and confirm/change the data collected at the first stage and to collect additional information at this visit.Is it possible to link two parts of the survey via Lime (version 3.28.76)?
Thanks for the help!

Easy! In your closed survey you'll have the participant table with their information, the token, etc. You can create custom attributes and save the data that was collected before into these custom attributes and you can reference these custom attributes from the participant / token table into your survey. There are a lot of examples in the forum on how to do that, but assuming that you want to reference custom attribute 1 in the survey, you use something like {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} either in the question text, or you can make a answer option preselected (default answers), or you can use it as a pre-written text in a text question. There are a lot of options.

You should read about expression manager / script in the manual, there are also examples on how to use this. E.g. here: manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager#Access_to_Variables
