LimeSurvey version: 6.15.4 Own server or LimeSurvey Cloud: Own server (Ubuntu + Docker) Survey theme/template: Standard (Fruity TwentyThree)
==================Hello LimeSurvey Community,I’m designing a system for daily PC maintenance checklists and need guidance on best practices. Here’s the workflow:
Core Setup:
Each PC has a dedicated survey (or question group) acting as its checklist template.
These surveys must be cloned daily for daily logging (or re-used if feasible).
Key Requirements:
Auto-save during the day: To prevent data loss, partially completed checklists must save automatically (e.g., every 5-10 mins).
Template adjustments: How to safely modify template surveys during the day?
Should we deactivate the live survey → edit the template → reactivate?
Is there a better workflow for minor daily changes?
Daily replication: Is daily cloning of each survey necessary? Or can we reuse the same survey daily while preserving historical data per date?
Reporting: Must view/export responses filtered by:
Specific PC
Specific date
Access control: Should each PC’s survey have a unique participant (with access code)?
Main Questions:
How to implement reliable auto-saving for in-progress responses?
What is the safest way to edit checklist templates without disrupting active submissions?
Survey strategy: Daily cloning vs. reusing the same survey with date tracking? (Considering minor daily template changes).
How to filter/export responses by PC and date efficiently?
Is individual participant access per PC survey recommended for security?
