using 2.50+ Build 160506
the default behaviour is active/inactive. i'm looking for a tags functionality. example: political, personal, recreation, sports, etc
is there a way to do it?

This is a missing feature. There are no tags or folders to organize the surveys. You only can use the Surveyname and rename it from time to time to reflect the status.

What I am doing is putting certain "tags" when I name them. I have for example the following tags:

[playground] for things that are just to play around
[external] when I imported a survey from somewhere else, which is not mine
[sample] An example survey that I use to showcase certain things.

But of course these tags show in the title, so this is not the best solution in all cases.

Unfortunately sorting and categorising surveys is not very good in Limesurvey.

Hi,
It's a quiet old request in this forum.

I've seen your other post about the control of surveys IDs (SID) and I think you can probably use jQuery to hide or show a link based on the SID related digits contained in the [href] attribute... Maybe a good start to sort your surveys by categories.

Place all your code in the surveylist.pstpl file of your installation default template...playing around the following approach:

It's extremely easy to add this feature.
We could do it for next major release.

Since there are few ideas in this thread may I ask what specific feature will be extremely easy to add?
Then we could add a feature request to ensure it won't get lost.

The tags to organize surveys. It's just a table to add, and then update the list/search to take it in account; and add a real Yii grid view for survey part. So can be done very fast, very easy.

Adding a survey category system would be easy too (BTW: in general, "group" is a term rather used as a "category of users"). But the goal of categories is not just to organize the items, but rather to build a permission system on top of it. So that would take more time, and will not be easy (cause there is an existing permission system to deal with...)

About the public survey list, the main problem is rather there is only one specific survey list by LimeSurvey installation. Maybe it would be a good thing to build a new system for that too, with user control to choose which surveys to show in which public list. That can be pretty easy to do too, cause we can start from scratch writing two specific tables (one for a public survey list (id, name, publish date, the usual...) and a relation table (survey_list, survey_id), and then just adding a new controller, view, model. But then it would need to be tested, debugged, etc. So easy: but would cost a little bit of time.

Let's start small and only add one new table that allows the user to define tags and based on that the list gets structured.

Used by less than 50% of our user's i think, then , maybe more a core or external plugin ?

Used? You mean needed or demanded by less than 50% of "your" users?

Hi,

demand by 0% of my client.

I think of LimeSurvey users more : i think if we add it : this is used by less of 50% of LimeSurvey users . A lot of system have only 4/5 survey maximum.

I'd say it's reasonable to bet that it will be widely used once implemented.

I think that when you leave out features of LimeSurvey that are used by less than 50% of the LimeSurvey users, a lot of features would disappear. Just a thought...

I agree. There are so many different use cases that we see here in the forum and besides a few key features that most will use, there are many features that only few use, or are only used very infrequently. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be missed if they wouldn't be there.
