Survey menu

Introduction

In the classic editor, the sidebar of a survey has two tabs: Settings and Structure. The Settings tab lists the survey settings at the top and the Survey menu below them. This page covers the Survey menu.

• Overview questions & groups
• Participants
• Email templates
• Failed email notifications
• Quotas
• Assessments
• Panel integration
• Responses
• Statistics
• Resources
• Plugins

You only see the entries you have permission for. Responses and Statistics can only be opened after the survey is activated.

To find out about the survey options, including Survey permissions, see Survey settings.

Overview questions and groups

Click Overview questions & groups to open the Survey organizer. It has three tabs:

• Questions: a table of all survey questions, with quick action buttons in the last column. For more details, see List questions.
• Groups: a table of all question groups. For more details, see List question groups.
• Reorder: drag and drop questions and question groups to change their order. For more details, see Reorder questions and question groups.

Participants

You may want to invite a specific group of people to your survey, keep track of who has completed it and who has not, and make sure that each person can take part only once. To do this, click Participants and add only the people you want to take part in the survey.

For more details, see Survey participants.

Email templates

The email templates are used to send personalized invitations, reminders, confirmations and registration emails to survey participants (from the survey participants table). You can also edit the basic and detailed admin notifications that are sent to the survey administrators.

For more details, see Email templates.

Failed email notifications

Admin notification emails that could not be sent (for example, because of wrong SMTP settings) are saved here with their full content. After you fix the email settings, you can resend them.

For more details, see Failed email notifications.

Quotas

A quota is used to set a limit on responses from defined groups of people on an active survey. Common attributes used in defining quotas are gender, age, race or province/state. To add a quota, click New quota.

For more details, see Survey quotas.

Assessments

LimeSurvey lets survey administrators create survey assessments for participants, even for multilingual surveys. Assessments are rules that evaluate the responses to a survey immediately after it is submitted and show text blocks to the participant based on that evaluation.

For more details, see Assessments.

Panel integration

You can set up which additional URL parameters your survey accepts. These parameters are attached to the start URL of the survey.

For more details, see Panel integration.

Responses

Click Responses to view, edit, export and delete the responses of an active survey.

For more details, see Responses.

Statistics

Click Statistics to analyse the responses of an active survey.

For more details, see Statistics.

Resources

Plugins

Here you can change the survey-level settings of active plugins that offer them. If none of the active plugins has survey-level settings, this page is empty.
