Hi all,

Is it possible to track - maybe by creating a variable - whether someone has clicked the "next" button on the intro page? My survey has only one page and I would like to know where people decide to not proceed with the survey.

Since the survey consists of one page only (excluding the welcome page), Limesurvey won't save any questions a participant has filled in because this only happens when someone goes on to the next page, afaik. Therefore, I could make a difference between full responses and no response, but as I said, I'd also like to know whether participants stopped on the intro page or the "survey" page.

Best wishes,
Pascal

If i don't make error

Welcome page : no response line was created
Next on welcome page : an empty reponse page was created (all answer set to NULL in DB)
Save, try to submit etc : current response line was updated : all (shown) answers except date and numeric set to [empty string]

You see here,
lastpage = 2: complete (this small sample only has two pages)
lastpage = 1: stopped on first page
lastpage = empty: did not proceed to first page, stopped on welcome page
lastpage=-1: proceeded to first page, then clicked "back" to welcome page

I don't reproduce

Enter : do nothing or change language : nothing, no response
Move next : lastpage : empty, datestamp set
