How can I remove a question i have added to a survey.
This might be a simple thing but i can't find how to do it.
Can anyone please help me?

Hello,

1. If you have already responses, export them with the "vv file" export feature available in the result tab of the survey
2. desactivate the survey
3. select the question & remove it (red cross icon)
4. reactivate

Your old answers will be automatically saved in a separate table and you will start with a fresh empty one...
If you want to reimport them you have to manipulate the data (table or vv file) because you'll get an extra column (deleted question)

Thank you benitov!
I didn't realize that the survey was active in the time i wanted to delete a question.
Thank you for your help again!

You can set "condition equation" to 0 to remove a question (or use "allways hide this question attribute)

Ben,

Is this also possible with a answer?

Is this also possible with a answer?

Sorry I don't understand what do you exactly want to know... how to delete an answer?

No. I mean the following.

1. What is your age?
Choose one of the following, answers
A 0-10
B 10 to 20
C 20-30
D 30-40
E 40 +

-When a number of people to choose answer A
-After a while answer option A removed.
-What happens to the people who answer A then chose?
-How can I unhide these answers?

If you have vv files, you can merge those files without any problem because answer options appears as a result (inside the table) and not as a row or column label.. In other words adding and removing answer options is not changing the table structure...
The problem is that the final data analysis for this question may be unclear if an answer option was not available during all the time.

/!\ If in addition of removing answer options you have canceled another question, remember that you have to edit (adapt) the first vv file, removing the corresponding column, because the 2 first lines (headings) of the vvfile have to be 100% similar to be marged & reimported. More info here .

Thanks for your reply.
But is this also possible with answers en not the heading ?

A proposed by Denis (see your other similar post), try to (re)add the answer option deleted before working on the results.

Remember that you don't have to desactivate your survey for this (because when you desactivate & reactivate a survey, a new answer table is created and old answers are stored in a separate table)

Another approach could be to let your answer in place and hide it using javascript....

Thanks Ben!

The last option might be the solution.
But where can i find that separate table ?

For the last option (hide an answer option) you don't have to manage tables* only use javascript with a code similar than: You have to look to the source code of your survey and adapt this snippet, with correct question type (radio, dropdown etc...) and IDs (search at the doc for SGQA code)

*Answer tables present in the database:
For current answers (active survey): "lime_survey_10000"
For old answers (includes date of desactivation): "lime_old_survey_10000_20121217110331"
