Iterar encuesta

Generales

En ciertos escenarios, es posible que desee realizar una encuesta recurrente: utilizar la misma estructura de encuesta para el mismo conjunto de participantes para comparar las respuestas anteriores de un participante con las enviadas en diferentes momentos. Este método es útil para analizar tendencias.

Por ejemplo, en una encuesta de satisfacción destinada a clientes que compraron un automóvil recientemente, podría realizar la encuesta un mes después de la compra, nuevamente 1 año después y comparar las respuestas.

For such recurring surveys, you may find it convenient to have the participant see the survey pre-filled with their previous answers when they participate for the second time in the survey.

Follow the steps below to make use of the "Iterate survey" functionality of LimeSurvey:

Prerequisites

Prerequisites:

• the survey uses a survey participants table (closed-access survey)

• survey is not using anonymous answers

Please note that all conditions above must be met in order to see the Reiterate survey button displayed in the responses and statistics panel!

How to run it

Activate the survey and collect the answers from your participants.

To run the same survey for the second time:

• Do not deactivate the survey after the first set of responses are recorded
• Click the Responses menu and then Responses & statistics:

• Click the Display responses option (located on the main toolbar) to access the response table
• Select all the submitted responses and export them so that you will be able to compare them to the new ones later:

• This will:
  • Reset all tokens statuses to "not used",
  • Reset all responses statuses to "not submitted".
