I want make 360 degrees survey. The respondents is supervisor, myself, co-worker and subordinate. Could I using limesurvey for this one?

Yes, you can.

I know a Limesurvey developer who has coded some kind of extension for this to handle the assignment of surveys. If you are interested I can forward his contact details.

I'm also intrestested in knowing if I can make a 360 degree survey with limesurvey.

For example:
in a group one respondent is the object of the survey, he answers about himself, and the rest of the group answers the same survey about him. And the result sheet will have the response of the first compared to the responses of the rest of the group.

is it possible? how can I menage it?

If it is that simple you can simply use tokens, set the survey to be non anonymous and use additional token attributes to indicate if the user is the target person or someone who rates that person. This way you can even show/hide certain questions depending on the additional attribute value.

thank you for the quick answer!
I'm now tryng to figure out how to do it..

My surveys are not anonymous. they are common 360 degree survey.
What about reports? I need to compare the target person answers with the answers of the rest of the group so to understand if the tatget person has an appropriate image of himself.

thanks

We offer different Export formats and when exporting data e.g. to Excel you can include data from toekn table if your survey is NON anonymous so you could easily differentiate between the different data sets.

Please,can you send me the contacts of the developer?

The company I work for has done many 360 surveys with limesurvey. They are most easily done with the token based surveys but we have other ways we have done it depending on the client needs, such as drop down boxes, or sending out the survey link and giving individuals tokens to use. The reporting is done easily by exporting the results through the excel export and then we read it into crystal reports.

I am interested... I would like to have the contact details... Need to set up a 360 survey.
When you say extension is this a script?

It was some kind of portal but is based on a quite old Limesurvey version which didn't offer features the later versions offer.

Limesurvey 1.92 and later offer a great feature called Expression Manager to show questions to certain participants only or adjust question texts according to the current user's role at the 360 degree survey.

If you need help setting up your 360 degree survey, feel free to contact me at marcel.minke(at)limesurvey.org and have a look at www.limesurvey-consulting.com/survey-creation/

All questions will be the same... not sure how expression manager would help 360 survey... I would rather have some answers to my other outstanding questions in this forum which would help me complete a 360 survey

Often question texts differ for different user groups, so using the Expression Managers piping feature helps a lot here.

When using tokens,m you can define an additional token attribute called "user_group" and assign each group a certain number or letter, Then you can use the Expression Manager to show certain questions to certain groups only.

When analyzing results late, you can export answer data + token data and filter by user group based on that new token attribute.

Thank you for your response... This is getting clearer to me.
When you say assign a certain number or letter, can I use a word or two words in the attribute field?

In a simple 360 all questions are the same for each group. (Self, Manager, Direct Report, Peer, Customer / Vendor and Other)

So when you say export do you mean with the export feature built in? The answer data, token data are two different tables that are joined? What field are they joined with?

I appreciate the fact you have so many questions to answer and limited time... Once I complete this test of creating a 360 survey I will publish my results here...

Please send me the developer contact. I really need that kind of survey.
Thank you!

I completed a 360 Survey using limesurvey last year and now I have to do a new survey... has anyone made any changes or know of any changes made where I can use groups in a way to create Peer, Manager, Subordinate, External resource as a way to mark relationships with takers of the survey? I had to create multiple surveys for each person to establish the relationships.
