General

LimeSurvey is a popular open source system for making and publishing surveys. All students and staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences can use it.

Log on to questions.socsci.ru.nl/admin with your university number and password to make a survey. Invitations to surveys can be send with a direct link to the survey (e.g. https://questions.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/123456?lang=en) or by referring to the main survey page questions.socsci.ru.nl. Note that in the latter case the participant has to find the survey in a list. By default surveys are not listed on the main page. Change this in the survey settings if you wish. The preferred way is using direct links.

There is no limit on the number of surveys that you can make or the number of participants in a survey.

Tutorial

There is a Limesurvey beginner tutorial for use of Limesurvey on the Radboud University Faculty of Social Sciences.

Callaboration

To work with multiple people on the same survey, follow the instructions on our Collaboration page.

Template

questions.socsci.ru.nl uses an unobtrusive Radboud-branded template called radboud. It is be applied by default. If you want to use a different template, go to:
Survey properties -> General settings -> Presentation & navigation -> Template -> Radboud -> Save

Sona integration

If you want to use Sona to invite people to take your survey, please follow the manual provided bij Sona. Furthermore, if this participant ID should be stored in LimeSurvey such that it is possible to link a response to a participant ID, then you would also have to follow the instructions in the manual provided by LimeSurvery. Please make sure to test whether it works with a pilot run.

Data Storage

Surveys and collected data are stored on campus. The server is not to be used for long term data storage. Surveys and data may be removed after a year without prior warning.

Support

The TSG provides limited technical support for Limesurvey. Users themselves are responsible for the creation and design of their surveys, as well as the data analysis. For Help on designing your survey you can contact Pieter van Groenestijn (RTOG). For questions about the use of Limesurvey, please consult the manual or the community support. For technical support, contact our administrator(s).

-== Video ==
+== Support ==
-LimeSurvey supports the use of video in surveys. The manual only describes the use of Flash video. Flash is not supported  by all browsers. It is better to use .mp4 video as described below.
+The TSG provides limited technical support for Limesurvey. Users themselves are responsible for the creation and design of their surveys, as well as the data analysis. For Help on designing your survey you can contact [mailto:p.vangroenestijn@maw.ru.nl Pieter van Groenestijn (RTOG)]. For questions about the use of Limesurvey, please consult the [http://manual.limesurvey.org/ manual] or the [https://www.limesurvey.org/community community support].
+For technical support, contact our [[LimeSurvey/Administrators|administrator(s)]].
-First upload the video. Do this the same way that you upload images. You will not see a preview. There is no need to change anything about the settings.

-Click the ''source'' button and change the img tag into a video tag. The 640x480 video ''monitor.mp4'' would show up as:<br/>
-<img alt="" src="/upload/surveys/397931/images/monitor.mp4" /><br/>
-''and must be changed into:''<br/>
-<video width="640" height="480"><source src="/upload/surveys/397931/images/monitor.mp4" type="video/mp4" /></video>

-[[File:Video3.png||]]
-Do the demonstration survey to see the result.
-==  Disappearing questions ==
-A similar trick as we used with the h.264 video is also possible to let text disappear after a while. Type some text, click the ''source'' button. Let's assume it looks like this:
- Following text disappears after five seconds:&lt;br/>
- Roses are red, violets are blue, I am gone, and so...
-now change it into the following:
- Following text disappears after five seconds:&lt;br/>
- &lt;div id="question17">
-   Roses are red, violets are blue, I am gone, and so...
- &lt;/div>
- <script type="text/javascript">
-   setTimeout("document.getElementById('question17').style.visibility='hidden'", 3000);
- </script>
-Make sure the id (''question17'') is unique on the question page. It must appear precisely twice (as shown above). The 3000 is the time before the text disappears in ms. Try it in [https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/615263?lang=en demo time].
-== FAQ ==
-;Does TSG support the making of surveys?: No. Survey design is considered a core competence of social scientists, not in the domain of technical support. Ask Social Sciences scientific staff to assist in the making of surveys.
-;Does TSG support the use of LimeSurvey?: No. Limesurvey does come with a [http://manual.limesurvey.org/ manual] and [http://www.limesurvey.org/en/community-services community] support. It may be covered in some courses as well.
-;Does TSG support the data analysis of LimeSurvey?: Data analysis is your own responsibility.
-;Does TSG store data collected with LimeSurvey?: Data must be collected from the LimeSurvey server as quickly as possible. Survey and data will be removed automatically one year after survey creation.
-;I understand the answers above, but still want to ask a question. Where do I go?: [https://organisatiegids.ru.nl/tabProfiel.aspx?isEngels=true&RBSID=636916 Chi Lieu] is system administrator. [https://organisatiegids.ru.nl/tabProfiel.aspx?isEngels=true&RBSID=102747 Eric Lieffers] is server administrator.
-;What version is installed?: The version installed is 2.05+build141113 with patch #225 for automatic user creation. LimeSurvey may be upgraded without notification.
