&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here is a simple solution to create question pools for Limesurvey.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will require access to the backend database. I&amp;#039;m not going to explain how to do this, as if you don;t understand it, then you shouldn&amp;#039;t really do it. Hopefully an option will appear in a new version.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Basically 3 tables exist that we care about&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
lime_surveys - id field  = sid&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
lime_groups - id field = gid&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
lime_questions id field = qid&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to show the questions correctly the id field from the lime_groups table exists in the lime_questions table. This then is used to create the parent/child relationship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, if you want to create a pool of questions all you need to do is to amend the gid field in the LIME_QUESTIONS table to a value that doesn&amp;#039;t exist in the lime_groups table. I would use 0 or a something silly like 10000. Try this with one question and you will notice it doesnt appear in the question list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&amp;#039;s a crude workaround, but allows you to create as many questions as you want, without having them visible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This could also be applied for groups as well just by using the sid field in the lime_groups table.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
