Hello,

I want to create an archetype survey. The question goes as follows:

You will need to give 4 points in total to every line of 4 adjectives. Give the score you think that suits the most. For example

Angry 0 Happy 1 Sad 0 Content 3 Total OK (max 4)
.... 4 .... 0 ...... 0 ..... 0 Total OK (max 4)
.... 1 .... 1 ...... 1 ..... 1 Total OK (max 4)
.... 1 .... 1 ...... 1 ..... 0 Total NOT OK (max4)

I use this information to create archetypes. I will need to be able to see all the information about the participants because the archetype test is peronal in this case.

Can you please assist me?

Regards,

Question type: Array (Texts) - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Question_type_-_Array_(Texts)

Question advanced settings:

• Numbers only: ON
• Show totals for: Rows
• Question validation equation (given y-scale sub-question codes "Y001, Y002, Y003, Y004"):
  Code:

  sum(self.sq_Y001) == 4 && sum(self.sq_Y002) == 4 && sum(self.sq_Y003) == 4 && sum(self.sq_Y004) == 4

Thank you for your answer! Can I build it like this?

I would use separate array questions for each row.

I have a lot of problems with this survey. How can I create the 4 columns, 4 boxes?

What does Y001 stand for? Just a random code?

sum(self.sq_Y001), validation doesn't work

Could you show me how I do 1 row?

Subquestions?

The "sq" is the question code and "Y001" is the subquestion code that Tpartner defined in his example. Of course you need to adapt this to the question code and the subquestion code that you gave it in your survey.

Because of you I was able to build build the questions separately . Thank you so much!
Now I have 2 more questions.

1. Can I put a zero in every box? All questions are mandatory, so if they leave a blank, they can't submit the survey. So a zero to start with would be nice

2. I need to build a validition equation. The sum of every question has to be 4.
Would it be sum(self.V1) == 4 ? And how can I add this in very question?

Thank you!

Set up your survey to use JavaScript and place the following script in the source of the question:

This was already answered In my post above. Given the sub-question codes in your screenshot, this should work: This effectively says "the sum of all elements within SQ001 of this question must equal 4".

Thank you Tony. Because of you I was aible to create the test! Works perfectly!

Now I want to export and import the questions groups. I use this groups in different surveys.

When I import the file I see 3 validition tips. I only need 'Give 4 points'. The questions has to be

mandatory. Without '*please complete all the parts ' and '*this question is mandatory'. The zero's need to stay.

Can somebody help me please? :silly:

Deactivate help/tips in the advanced options of the question. That will reduce the number of hints and warnings.

Thank you but the 'hide question tip' didn't work. I managed to fix it another way. I only get the wrong validation tips in the first en second question group. I added 2 questions groups so my test could start correctly in 3 and 4. Very strange. I add the survey as an attachment.

Also, does somebody know how I can get rid of the red boxes?



Thank you :woohoo:
