Hi,

I'm new to LimeSurvey and I'd like to know if somebody could just point me to a solution so I could be on the right track from the start.

Basically there will be students, this summer that will have to go to more than 2 000 adress to survey the building caracteristics (e.g. roof type, window types, etc.). I wanted to create a list of those 2 000 adress so they could pick one from a dropdown menu and when the survey for that adress is completed, that choice disappears from the dropdown menu.

The 2 000 adresses are in an excel file.

Thank You for your help!

There are no dynamic lists or database-lookups in LimeSurvey. The responses of others are not available during a survey taken by one of your students. So no internal way to check and modify the list of objects left to visit.

You have to use some external web-application, which manage the list.
I have no ready-made workaround at hand.
