Creating Survey
A survey in LimeSurvey is a set of questions and response options that are designed to collect data from respondents. Surveys can be created and customized using LimeSurvey's interface. They can include various question types such as multiple choice, open ended, rating scales, and more. To create a survey in LimeSurvey, you can use the survey editor provided by the platform. This editor allows you to add, edit, and arrange questions, as well as define survey logic and conditions. You can also customize the survey's appearance and layout to match your branding or specific requirements.
Importing Survey
Import in LimeSurvey allows you to import surveys from external sources into your LimeSurvey instance. This can be useful if you have surveys created in other formats or platforms that you want to migrate to LimeSurvey. The import process typically involves selecting the file or source from which you want to import the survey, mapping the survey elements to LimeSurvey's structure, and then importing the survey data. This allows you to quickly bring in existing surveys without having to recreate them manually.
Creating Group Survey
A group survey in LimeSurvey refers to a collection of related questions within a survey. It allows you to organize and group questions together based on a specific theme or topic. This can help in structuring your survey and making it more manageable for respondents. Groups can be used to break down the survey into sections, categories, or pages, making it easier for respondents to navigate and complete the survey. You can create, edit, and manage groups within the LimeSurvey survey editor.
New Label
A label in LimeSurvey is a text or descriptive element that is used to provide additional information or context within a survey. Labels are used to provide instructions, headings, or explanations for the questions or sections in the survey. They help guide respondents and provide clarity on what is expected from them. Labels can be added and customized using LimeSurvey's survey editor, allowing you to format and style them according to your needs.
Global Settings
Global settings in LimeSurvey refer to the configuration options that apply to the entire LimeSurvey application. These settings allow you to customize and control various aspects of LimeSurvey's functionality and behavior.

By configuring the global settings, you can tailor LimeSurvey to suit your specific needs and preferences.
