Hello,

I have to implement the survey, that I am currently designing, in a preexisting survey on another server. What would be the best methode for this migration?
I am yet not sure how i have to download a file of my survey for it to be usable by someone else...

Thanks in advance!

You can export your survey as an lss or lsa archive, but there's no functionality to merge two surveys. Although it is possible to redirect from one survey to another.

So if I export the survey, I can open it wih another pc. But if I am on the other pc I can't integrate the survey, that came from me, in a preexisting Survey?
How would you recommand to solve this issue?
By redirecting from one survey to another?
And do the 2 surveys have to lay on the same server?

I've never done this, but it might be possible to export both surveys as lss files, and then merge then manually using a text editing tool (notepad or whatever), and then import the new, manually created lss file.

What kind of integration? If you want to make one survey out of two you might follow Olle suggestion. LimeSurvey supports currently importing of questions.

If you want to bridge surveys (that a participant is getting to a second survey after answering the first survey) you can use the EndURLfield in the first survey to redirect to the second survey. These surveys don't need to placed on one server.

Where is LimeSurvey installed? On your PC? Or on a dedicated webserver connected directly to the internet?

Hey jelo,

so I am currently designing the survey on my pc. Afterwards it is supposed to be integrated into an existing survey (that is probably running on a webserver)

Export the question groups, then import then into the new survey.
