(Write here your question/remark)

Hello,

I have a closed-mode survey, and if the survey is not completed and closed, it will keep the progress for some time, but I guess if the session is closed, then the survey starts from the beginning. I know there is the option to save the progress by entering user and password and then loading it-but my question is: is there a way to save the progress without having to enter that information?

Thank you.

Hi,

but I guess if the session is closed, then the survey starts from the beginning

Did you encounter this behaviour with "Enable participant-based response persistence:" set to "ON"?
As you read here
[url] manual.limesurvey.org/Participant_settin...response_persistence [/url]
there is no mention of "session"

And if you have a look at the answer table you will see that this value (lastpage) is stored here, not in the session.
Of course this is only usable in a not anonymized survey.


And this

to save the progress by entering user and password

is usually used in open surveys or anonymized surveys, where there are no other informations about the participant.

I wonder why you always ignore the questions at the beginning.
