So I want to do a survey with seven question-groups (participants should answer the same questions for seven different videos).
As one group takes pretty long to answer, I want every participant to only answer four of the groups. This should happen randomized, so that in the end I have about the same amount of data for every group.

As I found out so far, this "X out of Y"-problem is easy solvable as long as it is about questions in the same question-group (as shown here )

It's as well solvable if you want only 1 out of Y groups, by using a random-element (as shown here )

But how is it done if you want to show - like in my case - more than one group out of a number of groups?


Edit: Sorry for the double post, but I think this question actually belongs rather here than in "Installation & update issues".

Need to show x out of y groups.

1: Create a multi question with y number of answer options. Randomize this question
2:Select top x number of checkboxes using javascript
3:Hide this question using javascript or preferably CSS.
4:Have group relavance from this question.

Attached is dummy lss and working demo placed at LS demo installation.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much!

One small thing for people trying to do the same:
I guess you meant to put "showNumberOfGroups" into the for-loop instead of writing "2" in there directly, right?
(so the line would be )

Your version:

Got got it right ..

Nice solution, Trivender.

Can you please port this to www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_Survey_behaviour so it doesn't get lost?

Thanks!

Sure I will post it there . But I curious to know if someone can suggest how we can tick(auto select) x number of options in a multi choice question using EM only. That way we wont have to hide question using CSS and auto submit via js.

Equation question type can SET value.

Even if the multi question is hidden, exemple with MULTI / SQ01, SQ02,SQ03

equation question:
{MULTI_SQ01="Y"}{MULTI_SQ02=""}{MULTI_SQ03="Y"}

PS: see the manual : www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...t_Operator_.28.3D.29

See : demonstration.sondages.pro/676785?newtest=Y# MULTIPLE2 don't use JS, but only EM.

Hi Denis, the requirement here is to randomly select X number of option in a multi select question using EM. I am not able to see this happening in your example.

You speak from 'tick' multi choice with only EM ....

Now, i don't search for the alea function

Looking for help for the guru's around here.

Using the information provided in this topic, I am able to replicate the functionality described showing X out of Y questions. This is perfect because it provides similar functionality as the Question by Question and allowing us to use a timer on each question.

I have four groups of questions, when using this process each question would have its own group.

1st question: can i have questions groups by using the relevance field?
2nd question: would i then be able to create a additional random group/question to match the relevance grouping?
3rd question: Is it possible using javacript/jscript to just to the next random group once number of questions have been reached?

What I am trying to do is to be able to present X number of questions from four different groupings of questions, using this proven workaround?

I hope someone can help and look forward to everyone's suggestions.

Hi there,


I have a MR-question1 in the middle of my survey.

This MR-question1 is automatically filled based on previous answers, so certain answers are checked.

Now I want a limited random selection of these checked items as a basis for conditions on further questions.

I thought I use another MR-question2 with a filter on MR-question1 and then use the script below to random select certain number of answers answers.

However, the script uses all!! the answers from the MR to randomize, not all only the filtered ones.

Kind regards,

Dirk

Hi guys, I successfully replicated this behavior, but I noticed that participants are able to return via “previous” button, so that this form is evaluated again. Is there a way to disable that, so that the selected question groups stay intact?

If not showing the "previous" button at that page solves your problem, please provide a link to an activated test survey. I can then provide some javascript to hide that button on the given page.

Thanks to @first I added this if around my code, so it does not get executed again if checkboxes already have been marked. Hiding the previous button to prevent users from getting back to this page is not possible, as I shuffle all following question groups by a randomization group. I want users to be able to go back and forth as they want. So this code did the job!

Thanks guys for your quick and great support!
