Importing Quota was created by Salini
Hi,


I have a survey with some quotas which are exact the same as another survey I've done with the same questions numbering, type, format, answer options.

Can we important quota scritpting from one survey to another?

Thanks,
Salini

No, there is no tool to export quota settings.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
This is unfortunate as most of surveys have more or less the same quota criteria (age/ gender/ region...) and we need to create each time the quota setting though we are harmonizing the question numbering , answer codes etc.

Cheers,
Salini

Why not copying the old survey (this should bring in the quota with it) and then start the new survey from there?
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

My understanding is that the other surveys already exist.

Hello Tony,

Thanks you for your reply.
Yes, the other surveys already exist. The problem of copying is the basis language. Depending on the client, we need to adapt either english, french or creole.
I have tried to export the survey in text and change the language and import it again. But then I lost the quota setting.

Do you know how I can change the basis language without losing the quota setting?

Cheers,
Salini

In version 3.22.210, I am able to export as .lss, change the language in a plain-text editor and the quotas are present when importing as a new survey.

To change the language (for example, from English to German):

Change:
Code:
<language>en</language>
To:
Code:
<language>de</language>



Change all instances of:
Code:
<![CDATA[en]]>
To:
Code:
<![CDATA[de]]>

Dear Tony,

Thank you for your reply.
In my survey, I have 3 times the below:

<language>ht</language>
<language>en</language>
<language>fr</language>

as the survey is in French as basis language and Creole and English as secondary languages.

Should we be changing the order?

Noted for the instance. Will do some test.

Kind Regards,
Salini
