Array dual scale with checkboxes and scale, adding "others" and "no response" was created by mresibois
Hi there,
New to LimeSurvey, I am planning to use it to make a survey that is hosted on limesurvey.org (plan is to create it, and then take a subscription while running it), so I will be using LimeSurvey's interface.
What I would like to do is to create a question that follows this logic :
Participants have a series of projects, and they can use a checkbox to tell whether they have heard about it, and if they took part in this project.
When they checked that they took part in it, they can fill in a scale (from 1 to 4 + N/A) to indicate their percieved utility.
At the end of the list of projects, they can add 5 additional ones (short text inline).
This could look like this :
Please indicate our projects that you know of and those in which you took part. When you took part in it, can you assess their percieved utility from 1 (no utility) to 4 (total utility), or check "n/a" if no opinion.
(colours are only for redability here on the forum)
I have searched for several solutions on the forum but I can't seem to decide what's best :
- Use a dual array, but tiggeling it a lot to follow this format (is it even possible ?)
- Divide the questions between the list of projects and a possibility to add projects in the next question
- Conditionnaly show a sub-question displaying only lines for which participants have checked that they took part in the project (including the "others" ones)
Problem is that, being relatively new, it is quite hard to me to know what is possible (or not) and how to achieve it.
Would be great if you could give me some help here.
Best Regards,
Maxime

Projects | Known | Took part | Utility | N/A |
Project 1 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
Project 2 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
... | |||
Other projects : inline 1 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
Other projects : inline 2 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
Other projects : inline 3 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
Other projects : inline 4 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |
Other projects : inline 5 | Checkbox | Checkbox | Scale (radio button) : 1 2 3 4 | Checkbox |

I think you would be better off breaking it into several questions.
- Q1 (multiple-choice) - "Please indicate our projects that you know of."
- Q2 (multiple-choice) - "Please indicate our projects in which you took part."
- Q3 (multiple-short-text) - "Please indicate other projects in which you took part."
- Q4 (array) - "Please assess their perceived utility..." - sub-questions shown via array-filter or relevance based on Q2 and Q3.
- Q1 (multiple-choice) - "Please indicate our projects that you know of."
- Q2 (multiple-choice) - "Please indicate our projects in which you took part."
- Q3 (multiple-short-text) - "Please indicate other projects in which you took part."
- Q4 (array) - "Please assess their perceived utility..." - sub-questions shown via array-filter or relevance based on Q2 and Q3.

Thanks for the tips.
I think it would be better to keep the first two together, but I think this can be easily done with array (number).
It is, however, unclear to me how to achieve Q4 based on Q2 and Q3 using LimeSurvey user interface ; any idea (or particular resource that I could consult)?

If you use an array-numbers type question, you will not be able to use
an array filter
.
If you attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only those questions, I can give an example of the sub-question relevance required.

Thanks for your help.
Please find attached the group of question (the survey is in French but I quickly translated them - I probably made many mistakes).
Question 2 is a matrix that would have more or less looked to what I had in mind (but having to change the first scale to checkboxed, and short text spaces for additional projects).
Question 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 are splitted according to your answer (but still keeping array numbers so far). Note that, as indicated in the group, there would be around 50 projects, so it would be tedious to have to split "known" and "attended" into two very long lists.

Hi, Maxime,
Because the respondent can only attend "known" projects the second list will be shorter.
But what is more important: In your approach (array(numbers)) you have to validate that there is no project checked as attended, but not as known.
Well, you may insert an equation to check all "attended", but "not known" projects to "known", or
to uncheck all "attended", but "not known" projects to "not attended".
Or you may use a simple matrix with the answer options "not known", "known, not attended", "attended"
Therefore tpartner proposed the two questions with matrix filter.
It is a much more clean approach.

Hi Joffm,
Thanks for joining in.
Let's say I take that solution, and I create a first question with all projects "known". If I understood you both, it becomes "Please check all project that you know of" and the list of project with a multiple choices-type of question, am I right?
If yes, let's say that I create the question and give it a code (let's give the code Q1 for ease). Then I create a subquestion for each project (let's give them the codes SQ001, SQ002...).
What would be the next step ?
I have read the filter part given by tpartner but I am not sure exactly how to adapt that to the subquestions...
I have understood that I should use codes (I guess SQ001) but, when creating the subquestons of Q2 ("attended"), all subquestions appear even though I used as a "conditional equation filter" Q1==1. Checking logic tells me that Q1 is an "undefined variable".
When I use "Q1_SQ001==1" (and change the number), I do not have logical error anymore, but this time no subquestion appear, even when checked at Q1.
Edit : I read this thread and thus adapted my question, but I cannot make it work nevertheless.

Here is a sample survey using array filters. Note that the sub-question codes in Q2 exactly match those in Q1 and the sub-question codes in Q4 exactly match those in Q2 and Q3.

By the way,
multiple questions are stored as "Y" or "".
So your equation should be: Q1_SQ001=="Y"
