Hi,

I want to send out an email to our guests with something like the following:

Please let us know how you enjoyed your stay with us:
❶ ❷ ❸ ❹ ❺ ❻ ❼ ❽ ❾ ❿
Not at all satisfied … Extremely Satisfied


For each of the 1 to 10 dots, I would add a hyperlink to our survey with a parameter R=01 to R=10. Eg:
I would like the survey to display with the rating pre-populated from the URL. However, I do want the guest to see this and be able to change their rating in the survey if they wish.

I have setup an array question called Welcome, with one sub-question called W1. This has answers W01 to W10.

I have setup a hidden short text question called Rating, which I then set using panel integration.

I have setup another hidden equation question with the following equation:
However, this doesn't seem to work.

I have tried various combinations, but come up against problems every time.

I can get the rating and the calculation works, but it does not populate the array.

Has someone else done something similar and can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Ross

Hi,

I do not see an issue


In this case I didn't use the panel integration. I just assigned the question code
www.example.com/survey/index.php/983555/newtest/Y/Q1/06

Hello Joffm,

Thanks for the reply and the sample. I reviewed your survey and found a couple of issues with my settings.

I also wasn't aware that you could pass in default answers directly to questions, so I changed my approach to make it simpler by just passing in the Welcome_W1 value on the URL and deleting the first 3 questions.

eg: www.example.com/survey/index.php/983555/...est/Y/Welcome_W1/W06

This works much better.

Cheers,
Ross

I also wasn't aware that you could pass in default answers directly to questions

Therefore there is a manual:
manual.limesurvey.org/URL_fields#Prefill...using_GET_parameters


But there is one more thing:
You have a scale 1-10. I am sure you want to calculate some statistical tests later, like mean, t-test, ...
To do that you need numerical values, but now your array uses "text" values.
Either you recode later in your statistc tool, or you'll only be able to do tests on nominal data, like CHI².
Or you change your codes to 1-10 and pass the numerical value "http:www.example.com/.../Welcome_W1/6"

All the best

Joffm
