==Create users==

To create a new user you please open the user-management ('''main menu''' -> '''Create/Edit users ''' [[File:LimeSurveyBenuzerVerwaltung.jpg]]).

[[File:LimeSurveyBenutzerHinzufuegen.jpg]]
* Enter the desired username into the textfield '''Username'''.
* Enter the email adress into the textfield '''Email'''. Please note
** If you don't want the user to recieve the confirmation e-mail with a link to the LimeSurvey installation, username and password you can use your own email adress to send the confirmation email to you. After that you can change the email adress to the adress of the user.
** LimeSurvey sends out a confirmation e-mail to the adress enterd into '''Email'''. This email adress will be used as standard contact email adress for surveys created by this user.
* Enter the users full name into the textfield '''Full name''' . Please note
** The full name entered here will be used as standard contact person name for surveys created by this user.
* Click '''Add user'''

So you created a new user. You will find out more about setting user permissions if you continue reading further.

==Edit users==

You can use the pen symbol [[File:LimeSurveyBleistiftSymbol.jpg]] to edit a user.

You can set a new email adress, full name and even change the password. If you have finished what you want to do click '''Save'''.

==Delete users==

To delete a user account simply click the delete button [[File:LimeSurveyBenutzerLoeschen.jpg]] in the line with the user account that should be deleted and hit '''OK'''.

=Global permissions=

Global permissions apply to the whole LimeSurvey installation. If you want to set a permission only for a specific survey you can use the Survey permissions settings.

==Set global permissions for a user==

To set global permissions for a user just click the key symbol [[File:LimeSurveySchluesselSymbol.jpg]].

[[File:LimeSurveySetzeGlobalBer.jpg]]

You can now add or remove the following permissions.
* '''SuperAdministrator''': This permission can only be added or removed by the Diese Berechtigung user called '''admin''' and grants full rights to the whole LimeSurvey installation. '''Please note:''' This permission is very powerful and you should be very carfefully with granting this permission/right.
* '''Create survey''': This permission lets the user create a survey as well as start, stop and it . This is the standard permission for people creating their own surveys.
* '''Configurator''': With this permission a user can check data integrity, save the SQL database to an sql file and view the php info in the global settings.
* '''Create user''': Having this permission a user can create new users and delete users created with this account. The newly created users cannot have higher permissions than the parent. If this has to be done a '''SuperAdministrator''' has to grant the permissions.
* '''Nutze alle/verwalte Vorlagen''': Mit dieser Berechtigung kann der Benutzer auf alle Design-Vorlagen zugreifen und jene alle Nicht-Standard-Vorlagen bearbeiten. Diese Berechtigung ist vermutlich nur sinnvoll für Personen die Design-Templates bearbeiten müssen und über ausreichende HTML/php, Javascript und CSS-Kenntnisse verfügen. Für normale Benutzer empfiehlt es sich die Berechtigung über die Vorlagenberechtigungen nach Bedarf zu setzen.
* '''Beschriftungs-Sets verwalten''': Mit dieser Berechtigungen können alle Beschriftungssets verwaltet (neue erstellt, vorhandene bearbeitet und gelöscht werden).

Unter dem Punkt '''Anwendungsfälle''' werden die häufigsten Standardfälle für neue Nutzer aufgelistet.

==Vorlagenberechtigungen für einen Benutzer setzen==

Mit den Vorlagenberechtigungen kann festgelegt werden welche Design-Vorlagen der Nutzer beim Erstellen oder Bearbeiten einer Umfrage auswählen/verwenden kann. Es ist sinnvoll jene Auswahl einzuschränken um den Benutzer nicht zu überfordern und zu verhindern dass ungewollt Design-Vorlagen verwendet werden die nicht verwendet werden sollen.

'''Wichtig:''' Wenn es für bestimmte Benutzer-Gruppen oder Kunden eigene Design-Vorlagen gibt sollten wenn möglich auch nur jene auf verfügbar gestellt werden.

Zum Setzen der Vorlagenberechtigungen einfach auf das Schlüssel-Symbol für die Design-Vorlagen

[[File:LimeSurveySchluesselSymbolTemplates.jpg]] klicken.

[[File:LimeSurveyAuswahlDesignTemplatesLS.jpg]]

Nun können die gewünschten Design-Vorlagen die der Benutzer verwenden können soll ausgewählt werden. Am Ende werden die Einstellungen mit einem Klick auf '''Speichern''' bestätigt.

Unter dem Punkt '''Anwendungsfälle''' werden die häufigsten Standardfälle für neue Nutzer aufgelistet.

=Berechtigungen nur für eine einzelne Umfrage=

Diese Berechtigungen gelten nur für eine einzelne Umfrage. Sollen einem Benutzer Berechtigungen für das ganze System übergeben werden müssen die globalen Berechtigungen verwendet werden.

'''Wichtig:''' Auch für Berechtigungen für einzelne Umfragen muss ein Benutzer-Account vorhanden sein bzw. angelegt werden wenn er es noch nicht sein sollte. Der Benutzer muss jedoch keine globale Berechtigung besitzen, es reicht wenn er nur existiert.

==Benutzer-Berechtigungen für eine Umfrage ändern==

Um die Berechtigungen für eine einzelne Umfrage zu setzen wählt man im Menü '''Umfragen-Einstellungen''' den Menüpunkt '''Umfrageberechtigungen''' aus.

[[File:LimeSurveyUmfragenBerechtigungen.jpg]]

Im nächsten Schritt wird der Benutzer ausgewählt dem die Berechtigung gesetzt werden soll und auf '''Benutzer hinzufügen''' geklickt.

[[File:LimeSurveyBenBerHinz.jpg]]

Nach einem Klick auf '''Bearbeite Umfrageberechtigungen''' wird die Benutzerberechtigungsmatrix für die Umfrage angezeigt.

[[File:LimeSurveyBenutzerBerechtigungMatrix.jpg]]

In dieser Matrix können die Berechtigungen für die einzelnen Bereiche festgelegt werden. Durch einen Klick in die Checkbox in der ersten Spalte nach den Bereichsbezeichnungen können alle Berechtigungen für einen Bereich ausgewählt werden. In den weiteren Spalten können wenn benötigt die einzelnen Berechtigungen hinzugefügt oder entfernt werden falls nicht alle Berechtigungen ausgewählt/möglich sein sollen. Nach einem Klick auf '''Speichern''' werden die Änderungen übernommen.

Unter dem Punkt '''Anwendungsfälle''' werden die häufigsten Standardfälle für neue Nutzer aufgelistet.

=Anwendungsfälle=

Hier wird für die häufigsten Anwendungsfälle und Vorkommnisse festgehalten welche Berechtigungen in diesem Fall gesetzt werden sollten.

To be moved somewhere else once better defined:

There are several classes of possible people who access a LimeSurvey installation. But only one set of people is actually termed a '''user''' in the code and documentation. So lets understand what these classes of people are so we can better understand the terminology of the program.

{|
|Class||Description
|-
|Installation Administrator || Those people who create login user accounts to allow others to create, edit, activate and/or view surveys and their results. Often can be given access to edit the templates, labelsets and other key features independent of any particular survey stored.
|-
|Survey Administrator || A person with a login account that is given some management access to a particular survey. Each survey can have its own set of users with specific rights to manipulate the survey. These rights can be as broad as to activate a survey and possibly edit its question base. They can be as minimum as simply able to review the results to date.
|-
|Participant || Those people who simply respond or participate in taking a survey. They may or may not have token access. They do not need a login account to the administrative interface and thus are not termed users.
|-
|Installer || A special class of person who has access to the MySQL (or similar) database server and possibly the command line interface of the computers operating system in order to install and configure the survey software. This person is asked to setup the initial SuperAdmin user account from which other user login accounts can be created.
|-
|Developer || An very special class of person who has access to the source code and can manipulate it to change the programs behavior. Generally only done with versions of the survey that are not available for live, active surveys.
|}

=Use one time passwords=

Since version 1.81 a user can call the limesurvey login at /limesurvey/admin and pass username and a one time password which was previously written into the users table (column one_time_pw) by an external application.

To enable this login method [http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Optional+settings#Use_one_time_passwords a setting has to be turned on] ($use_one_time_passwords = true;) in config.php.

The URL has to contain the following variables:
* '''user:''' The username normally used to login into Limesurvey. This username has to exist in the 'users' table of the database.
* '''onepass:''' The plain text password which is then compared to the password in the 'users' table

A valid URL to login using a one time password will look like this:

<div class="simplebox">http://www.yourdomain.org/limesurvey/admin/admin.php?user=myusername&onepass;=secretpassword</div>

'''Things to watch out for:'''
* One time passwords have to be enabled by setting $use_one_time_passwords = true; in config.php
* The passed username has to exist in Limesurvey's ''users'' table
* The one time password, which can be set by an external application, has to be stored as [http://de.php.net/md5 MD5 hash] in column ''one_time_pw'' of table ''users''
* The passed plain text password will be hashed using md5() function and will then be compared to the stored hash in column ''one_time_pw'' of table ''users''. Both passwords have to match.
* After the first login with the one time password this password is deleted from the database. The user won't be able to login with this password anymore. If you are confronted with session timeout problems [http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Optional+settings#Survey_Behavior raise the setting for $sessionlifetime] (default is 3600 seconds).

__TOC__

Once your survey is active you can start browsing responses and export them. To get to the survey response overview click...

[[File:browse_results.png]]

=Export to application (Excel/.csv)=

On top of the browse responses page several export options are listed, beginning with ''export to CSV/application''.

[[File:export2.png]]

When exporting results to an application there are several filter options which are separated into:
*'''General'''
** Set a range like export records X to Y
** Set to export all records OR completed records only OR incomplete records only
*'''Questions'''
** Set how the heading should look like: Abbreviated heading OR full headings OR question codes
** Convert spaces in question text to underscores
*'''Answers'''
** You can either export full answers or convert answer codes Y and N to a defined variable
*'''Format'''
** Microsoft Word (latin charset)
** Microsoft Excel (all charsets)
** CSV File (all charsets)
** PDF
*'''Column Control'''
** Set which answers should be exported. All answers in this list are represented by their [http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=SGQA+identifier&structure;=English+Instructions+for+LimeSurvey SGQA identifier]
** Set which '''''token''''' data should be exported. This option is only available if your survey is '''''not anonymous'''''!

[[File:export_tokens.png]]

=SPSS Export=

==General==

To export your response data to SPSS go to Responses & Statistics section and click the icon to export to SPSS.

[[File:spss_toolbar.png]]

==Export and filter data==

When exporting data to SPSS there are two filter options. You can select '''which data''' should be selected (''all records/completed records only/incompleted records only'') and for '''which SPSS version''' the export files will be used (''prior version 16/16 or up'').

SPSS export includes two files:
# a syntax file (''survey_xxxx_SPSS_syntax_file.sps'')
# and a data file (''survey_xxxx_SPSS_data_file.dat'').

After having downloaded these files you can open them using a raw text editor like notepad to take a look how the exported data looks like. The syntax file holds the commands that should be run to import the data. It is like a programming language inside SPSS. The data file contains a comma separated file with all data. If you just import this data as csv via a wizard you loose information about questions, labelsets etc. so we don't do that.

==Import data in SPSS==

Place the two files in the same folder on your drive (example: ''c:\data\survey_xxxx_SPSS_syntax_file.sps'' and ''c:\data\survey_xxxx_SPSS_data_file.dat'')

We have two options now:

1. When using Windows use the explorer to browse to the folder used above. If SPSS is connected to the .sps file extension you can just open the file by double clicking it:

[[File:spss_explorer-screenshot.jpg]]

Now you can just choose Run->All from the opened window and after some time have your output dataset that you can save as a normal .sav file.

2. Sometimes the easy solution above does not work. Then you can proceed as follows:
* Open SPSS
* Choose File->Open->Syntax
* Choose the appropriate file: c:\data\survey_xxxx_SPSS_syntax_file.sps
* Now the syntax opens.
* Change the line that reads ''/FILE='survey_xxxx_SPSS_data_file.dat''' to include the path where the files are: ''/FILE='c:\data\survey_xxxx_SPSS_data_file.dat'''
* Now mark the whole command text and choose Run->All from the menu and after a while (please be patient) you have the dataset with all info like questions, labels etc.

=R Export=

Feel free to add more information if you have some!

The freeware software [http://www.r-project.org/ R] is an alternative for SPSS. It is closely linked to the SPSS export in LimeSurvey. Instructions on how to import your dataset in R:
#Download the data and the syntax file from the browse response screen.
#Save both of them on the R working directory (use ''getwd()'' and ''setwd()'' on the R command window to get and set it).
#Enter: ''source("Surveydata_syntax.R", encoding = "UTF-8")'' on the R command window

=VVExport ([[File:exportvv.png]]) and VVImport ([[File:importvv.png]])=

Once you've begun collecting responses, there may be occasions where you need to be able to directly edit and modify large quantities of data from your responses table, where a spreadsheet tool may be more useful.

VVExport and VVImport (the "VV" stands for vertical verification) allow you to export your responses table into a .csv file. So long as the general structure of the file remains intact, you can then edit values within it, and the import the file again into your responses table using the "VVImport" feature.

Things you should be aware of:
* If you want to import answers using "VVImport" make sure to check whether the answers should be added to the existing answers or all answers should be overwritten.
* If you are trying to import answers from a diffrent yet identical (e.g. identical questions/answers from another survey) make sure you are using the correct vv file and that the first two lines of the .csv-file are correct.

==Exporting a VV survey file==

When you choose to export responses using VVExport you will be given the option to choose which survey to be exported, whether you want to export all responses or complete responses only or incomplete responses only. The file extension allows you to choose which extension the exported file will have. For easy use .csv should be chosen.

A 'vv survey file' allows you to import the responses to a survey when the question/answer combinations have changed. Effectively this allows you to add or remove questions in an active survey.

Clicking on "Export a VV survey file" will then produce a tab delimited file that can be opened by Excel or similar style spreadsheet program. The first two rows of the spreadsheet are the column labels. The first row is a "human readable" column heading that details the name of the question/answer field. The second row is the internal PHP/database column name for that response.

You should not modify the first two rows of this spreadsheet if you want to be able to "import" the data back into LimeSurvey at a later point.

==Importing a VV survey file==

As long as the first two lines are intact, you can then import the data in your vv survey file back into an active LimeSurvey survey. If you deactivated the survey when you exported the data you will need to activate the survey in the normal way when doing this.

Then, from the browse screen, choose the "Import a VV Survey file" icon.

The "Import a VV Survey File" screen needs you to choose the "vvexport" you are importing. If you choose to "Exclude Record IDs" the records will be imported and brand new Record ID's will be generated for them. If you un-check this box, then the original record id's will be imported.

There are a range of options you can choose that tell LimeSurvey how to deal with double or multiple entries.
*Report an error (and skip the new record).
*Renumber the new record
*Ignore the new record
*Replace the existing record

==How to use VV-Export and VV-Import:==

The VV-Import function is not particularly smart. The spreadsheet being imported has to be massaged into shape so that it matches the new survey.

The idea of VV-Export/VV-Import was to allow import of results from a survey table that had changed. My standard procedure for the VV-Export/Import process is to:
#Create the new survey
#Activate the new survey
#Perform a VV-Export from the _new_ survey (first export)
#Perform a VV-Export from the _old_ survey (second export)
#Cut the two top rows from the first export and insert them as the top two rows in the second export.
#While leaving the first two rows unchanged, cut and paste the columns below so that they are now in the right place according to the first two rows.
#Once all the data is in the correct spot, delete the 3rd and 4th row (ie: the headings from the second export)
#Save it all as a CSV file
#Perform the VV-Import into the _new_ survey

=Other export options=

==Export a single response==

If you want to export an individual response, you can do it in 3 ways:

1. Login to limesurvey admin backend, choose your survey, goto "Edit survey settings" -> "Notification and data management" and make sure you receive basic email notifications.

Every time someone has completed a survey, you will receive an email with a link: "Click the following link to see the individual response"

This will take you to a page with a button above the data saying "Export this response"

2. Login to limesurvey admin backend, choose your survey and "Browse responses for this survey". Click on "Display responses" and the id number you want to export in the left column. Then you can click on "Export this survey" above the data.

3. Login to limesurvey admin backend, choose your survey and "Export results to application". In the last field above "Export data" you can choose which entry you want to export.

==Match Responses From Different Surveys (longitudinal survey)==

If you want to track survey responses for particular individuals over time, Limesurvey can help you do that. A possible use case is to track group responses before and after the group takes a particular seminar.

The steps to implementing this are as follows:

1. Create the survey

2. Make sure the survey is non-anonymous and uses tokens. To create a non-anonymous survey:

a) Click on the edit survey button:

[[File:editsurvey.png]]

b) Then under the Notification & data management tab select "No" for Anonymous answers:

[[File:make_private.png]]

3. Activate the survey.

When you activate the survey, click on the "switch to closed-access mode" button to create the token table:

[[File:switch_to_closed.png]]

4. Populate the tokens table with whatever method you wish (follow the instructions found at the [[Tokens]] page ).

5. Export the survey results and make sure you include the token information.

To export click ''browse results''...

[[File:browse_results.png]]

...and then ''export'':

[[File:export2.png]]

Remember to choose one or more elements from the token table to associate with the survey responses:

[[File:export_tokens.png]]

6. When you run the survey again, which can easily be done by copying the survey and tokens table using export/import, just repeat the steps, and make sure the same query is used to build the csv token import file.

=Problems & Solutions=

==Excel==

===Modifying responses in Excel prior to Import===

In order to make multiple changes to responses, you may choose to Export and open a file in Excel. Make changes to the data (other than the top lines) and then save as a .txt file. If you save as .csv, Excel uses comma-delimits which will not import into LimeSurvey. By saving as a .txt file, Excel saves as a tab-delimited file which imports back into LimeSurvey.

===Edit .csv with Excel===

In general '''''we do not recommend to use Excel to edit the exported .csv files''''' because Excel does some changes to the internal data structure which results in a failing import. If you nevertheless want to use Excel you have to set the seperator for Excel to a comma in System Control (Windows Systems):

System Control|Region- Languageoptions|Regional Settings, customize...|Tab Numbers|Digit grouping symbol| replace ; with ,

===Workaround to edit .csv files with Excel===

Using Excel for editing questions can prevent you from being able to re-import them. But editing is the way to go if you have more than 5 or so options or ranking options, want to use Excel capabilities like sorting, etc.

This is a partial workaround that seems to work in 1.82-essentially, only use Excel on the part of the file that is the data:
* Export a question similar to what you would like to reuse as .csv file
* Open the CSV file in a rawtext editor
* Copy the part that has the answers to Excel, and parse it with Text to Columns or equivalent.
* Use the talent of Excel to allow pasting text in columns to paste in 20, 50, 100 answers, as you wish
* Save the file as Excel CSV, which will likely have no quotes.
* Open this file in the editor, and Select All, Copy
* Go back to the file you opened in 2)
* Paste over the answers there
* Save AS, with a different name, maybe one that you can remember for reuse
* Import this file.

===Excel - export limited to 255 columns===

Due to limitations in Excel (versions lower and equal to 2003), LS can export only 255 columns at the same time. Microsoft has proposed a [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272729/en-us workaround as a VB macro].

Although newer spreadsheets (Excel >= 2007, OpenOffice) can display more than 255 columns, the internal module used by LimeSurvey still can't export more than 255 columns.

Two workarounds are however possible, use one of the following solutions:
* Either export to CSV and import in your spreadsheet
* Or use multiple exports (selecting at most 250 columns at a time), then merge the exported results

===Excel/.csv - export fails===

If you are unable to export your data to excel or into a .csv file please try to clear your browser cache and cookies.

==SPSS export==

===General steps===

To import the LimeSurvey response data please use the following steps:
#Click on the 'Export to SPSS' icon.
#From the select boxes select which responses you want to export and your SPSS version.
#Download both files, the .sps (SPSS syntax command file) and .dat file (data file)
#Open the .sps file with SPSS by opening SPSS, then select 'Choose another type of file' and select the downloaded .sps file.
#Now an editor opens inside SPS where you can edit the commands in that file. Look for the line that starts with '/FILE=...'
#Edit that line and adjust the path so it points to your .dat file. Example: Your *.dat file is in c:\temp so set this line to /FILE='c:\temp\survey_(xxxx)_SPSS_data_file.dat'
#Now select all commands inside the editor by pressing CTRL-A.
#From the SPSS menu select Run/All.
#Be patient, it will take some time to import all data and labels. Check the status bar for the progress.
#Done!

===Possible error messages in SPSS===

====ERROR. command name:Get Data====

If you receive the error message ''ERROR. command name:Get Data. 2267 Unexpected Token missing.'' please edit the forth line of your syntax file so it points to the absolute path of the data file like

<div class="simplebox">C:\spss\Data\limesurvey\SPSS\survey_35276_SPSS_data_file.dat</div>

====Error: "Text value unmappable in the current server locale"====

This error can happen if you try to open an exported syntax file in SPSS 16. The solution is to force SPSS to interpret the syntax file as unicode.

<div class="simplebox">Open SPSS. Go to Edit > Options > Character encoding for data and syntax. Change the option to "unicode".</div>

LimeSurvey data can now be exported to SPSS 16 without any problem.

===Define the scale to use for your variable by setting a question attribute===

It is possible to override the default scale used for a variable by setting the question attribute [[Advanced question settings|#scale_export|scale_export]] to the appropriate value.

==VV Export/Import==

===VV - Problems with vv import===

If you have difficulties importing a vv file, try a Tab-delimited file and it should work fine.

==Other problems and solutions==

===Copying responses into a different survey (using tokens)===
# Create new survey, add a dummy response, export the response file, open in Excel. This creates the format for the new import file.
# Export the responses from the old survey, including tokens, open in Excel.
# Use this data to create an Excel worksheet for the standard token file import (eg. Firstname, Lastname, Token, Email address, Email status (OK), Language (En). Save as .csv and import tokens to the new survey in LimeSurvey.
# In Excel, copy the response fields from the old survey responses that you want in the new survey (including token) into the appropriate Excel column of the new survey format.
# Save as .txt file.
# Use VVImport to import the new data into the new survey.
# Possible import errors include date format - some system date fields do not allow a NULL value, some do. If the date looks okay but gives an error, use the Excel cell format "2009-12-01!
