Hi,

is it possible to add information for attributes in the participation table with a csv file to existing particpants?

I am planing a closed survey with a fixed number of participants, which I will upload before the survey starts. So I have a table of survey participants. But the participants will be able to fill in the survey several times and I would like to add some information to survey participants table (through the import of attributes in a csv file) after the survey started.

Thanks

I am not sure, but first I would try if it is possible to add an attribute to an active survey. If not, that will be a bottleneck which you can circumvent by (before activating) adding several attributes (empty attributes) which you can fill later. I guess you will have to keep track of what attribute contains what then...

Hi,
"to add some information".
If these informations are based on answers in the previous round, you may use a plugin "updateTokenByResponse".

Otherwise ???

Thanks for the tip with the plugin.

I want to show the respondents how often they have already filled in the survey. I assume this is something I have to do in a statistical program, which is totally fine for me. But I would like to upload the addtional information. And as the survey is taking part, I can't delete the particpant table and upload a complete new one.

If you have access to the server, you could use AJAX and the API to check for previous responses.

Yes, I have access to the server. But I think it is ok to download the data and run some routine in an external program. At the moment my bigger problem is to upload the additional data in Limesurvey to extend the participants table without editing each participants by hand.

Hi,
I think Tony is talking about an AJAX call.
Here you may query the survey for previous answers and update the attribute of the table

Here in "lime_tokens_123456"

Thanks. That seems to do what I need, but I think my technical knowledge isn't sufficient for this. I

With version up to 4.X : you can count number of answered response by token (if i don't make error)
