Guidance on building a dashboard for one survey - how to access responses

Reporting is more cruical than dashboard. Since LimeSurvey is going SaaS first, the competition in reporting and dashboard is no longer limited to open source. In SaaS surveyspace nobody cares about opensource.
A usermanagement around shiny server or other html/js tools sound like a viable step.
Is the usermanagment accessible via plugin api? Adding own permission sets isn't possible, is it?

Offering a usermanagement for reports/dashboard would be nice. Could be a page with html editor like when creating a question page. You could add javascript and html. Second step would be exposing data via an interface. That would be a lot more stable than accessing via MySQL directly via a thirdparty tool. Allowing public report via a customized link with usermanagement to limit access.holch wrote: I think today Limesurvey has everything that you need when you want to create your own dashboard. With access to the database you can basically do whatever you want with the data.

In the SaaS space open source is less relevant for the buyer. So the competition is bigger and tougher.
E.g. SurveyGizmo offers a lot for 1,500 USD per year. No complete dashboard, but the integration of R scripts and Chartlibs into the reporting is very nice. help.surveygizmo.com/help/run-r-scripts-in-reports

There is no mission statement, in which market LimeSurvey wants to play a role. LimeSurvey as a SaaS seems to play a more important role that OnPremise. The redesign of the Website and the new pricing seems to confirm that.driz wrote: With the amount of dashboard tools out there, I am not sure whether LS needs to provide this functionality.

R-Scripts seem to be only available in the "market research" package for $ 1500. Yet with all it includes it looks pretty good (offline surveys, reports, crosstabs, r, Choice-Based Conjoint, Max-Diff, Highlighter, Semantic Differential, Heat Maps, Video/Audio Sentiment, Card Sorting).
If you cobine the LS package plus offlinesurveys, you are also basically getting there.

This "basically" turns into hours of workarounds.The different SaaS offers in the surveyspace are lowering the prices over time. The no-user-limit might be not enough for LimeSurvey since often the useraccount is shared in companies (I know some companies which are doing that). So you compete often with the one user price. Think about the time savings of having a skip feature. Can cost you hours in LimeSurvey and minutes in the competition. And that is only one feature. The manual is explaining the pro and cons of skip/relevance logic quite nicelyholch wrote: If you cobine the LS package plus offlinesurveys, you are also basically getting there.

That is exactly what I am saying. If you pay the biggest commercial package from Limeservice AND the offlinesurveys app, then you pay around 1300 Euros, which is probably around or above the 1500 Dollars for the "market research" package.
Advantages LS:
- More users
- The arguments "own server" and "control over data" doesn't work with the SAAS model
Advantages SG:
- unlimited responses (?)
- reporting
- some question types that LS doesn't have
- Conjoint, max diff
- ?
