I am trying to figure out how I can automatically number just assessment within my survey as I have a section of demographics questions when the assessment begins which I do not want numbered and then some questions at the end (like a post survey) which I also do not want to number. Also the automatically numbered questions need to be randomized as well so I want the randomization to happen only for the assessment questions. It seems that the automatic numbering applies to every question you create so I am trying to work around that. I believe I can do randomization if I assign all the questions to the same group, is that correct?

I am not sure if I understand what you want to achieve. Could you please explain again by providing more details + working example? (.lss)

In my opinion you just want to randomize some questions.
And the answer to your last question is "Yes"

What you are talking about the question number is more or less irrelevant. This is just the auto increment value in the database.

I did not answer earlier, because I didn't want to read your post without any linefeeds / carriage returns. I am sure there is this key on your keyboard.

Thanks for your response. So when a survey is executed there is an initial page that captures demographics info. Then when the demographics info is captured the next page is the first question of the assessment. The users go through each of the questions and end with some post-assessment questions on a final page. So let's say I have 10 demo questions on page 1, 25 survey questions (all on their own pages) and then a final page of 5 questions to capture their impression of the survey.

If I turn-on automatic page numbering the first question of the survey (let's call it "How likely are you to collaborate as a member of this team") shows up like this "11. How likely are you to collaborate as a member of this team." It should show up as "1. How likely are you to collaborate as a member of this team" but it is numbering the demographics questions also. The reason I am using LimeSurvey's numbering is because I want the questions to be random so that #1 is not always "1. How likely are you to collaborate as a member of a team but could be another question." Question grouping should take care of my randomization solution but I am still unsure how to focus the question section as 1-25 without having the demographics and post-survey questions page added to the numbering. The only way I know how to do this is to manually place numbers on the questions but then I cannot randomize those questions. Hopefully that is more clear and provides you more info on what I am trying to do.

You can get the sequential number of a question with the Expression Manager Qcode.qseq variable - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...#Access_to_Variables

This is sequential regardless of group randomization.

So, in your example, you would want to use something like:
