I would like to have the same respondents answer the same brief questionnaire (10-15 items) repeatedly (up to 30 times) with two-day intervals. Is this possible in LimeSurvey, and can the respondent receive an email with a link to the next questionnaire in it?

Hello,
If you use tokens, LS let you set how many times a respondant can take a same survey (same ID) with the 2 possibilities of editing his previous responses or get a new form..

1) Active tokens

2) When you are adding a new token entry fill the field "uses left" with the number you want (30)


3) In the "tokens" tab of the general settings of the survey set the "Enable token-based response persistence?" to "NO"


For the email invitations you can maybe each 2 days turn all invitations to "not sent" and send it back to users.
I don't remember if this feature is directly available in the interface but it may be done on the database using SQL (UPDATE) command...

Thanks a lot, Ben, I will try that path.

...if this feature is directly available in the interface

Yes it is.. at the bottom of the "token summary"
( Set all entries to 'No invitation sent'.)

You can also have a look at the doc for the " iterate " feature
Keep in mind that the token related features have several behaviours depending if the survey is fully anonymous or not

I'm looking to see if limesurvey would be able to something similar: a journal-based survey, with respondents logging activities daily over a two-week period.

Is it possible to set things up so that:

1. If a respondent visits the survey more than once on a given day, they can resume their answers from where they left off
2. When they visit the survey the following day, the survey fields are reset initially

I hope this makes sense.

I'd also be interested to hear from the original poster of this question how he got on, if he's still around two years later.

Thanks in advance.

Friend
did a test and it worked as said.
Example ... the person answered 3 times because I limited the use of 3x only. Without sending an invitation.
