NO, in plugin.

Because question attribute bis really complex and have more option than really needed.

Not Unique to LimeSUrvey but most important:
- GPL : free like a speech.

My little list with multiple items per line to ceate the impression it complies with the one-feature-rule-only of jelo:
  • Unique feature: GPL (hear, hear), Expression Manager & community
  • Missing: creating graphs using EM & reporting tools
  • Other tools used: PSPP, R, some GNU/Linux distro

Missing:
#Ability to get quota counts in survey.
#Implementation of screen-outs without hacks.
#Question loops
#Multiple Other specify in any question without hacks
#Able to freeze desired answer options while others randomize.
#Page objects so that we can place more than one question on a page even in question by question layout.
#Column relevance in Arrays (numbers , texts)
#Improvements in documentation specially EM.
#We are not able to use programming language loops (for,while,do while) in equation type question.
#custom question layout designer www.limesurvey.org/community-services/fo...tion-layout-designer

Unique and more important than all above is its community and opensource.

* solid integration with R


Limesurvey supports R export, it can be enabled at the Plugin settings.

To my knowledge that should work pretty well, or did you already use it and miss certain features?

- Some classification for survey (surveylist level)


What are you talking about? Grouping surveys at the survey list into sections like "Customer Feedback Surveys", "360° Surveys", "Test Surveys"?

Denis has recently coded a plugin to mark surveys as a kind of "master survey" which allows to create copies from. Only users with special rights are allowed to edit such "master surveys"/drafts.
- Download: github.com/SondagesPro/surveysModel
- Info: manual.limesurvey.org/Available_third_pa...lugins#Other_plugins
Mark surveys as "Survey Model/Template" : Allow admins to mark a survey as "Survey Model", a kind of "master survey" or "survey template" which only users with appropriate rights are allowed to edit. The common user is only allowed to create copies based on such a survey template.

Yes that's what I mean... Requiere a way to define & set categiories for surveys. Some (admin) users may be interested by survey types, other by departments, other by courses etc.

I agree with Ben. I have an installation, where I try to save good solutions that I find on the forum or that I developed myself, so I don't have so search each time in the forum (often solutions get lost as well).

However, I try to have one survey per "problem" and it is getting quite complicated. At the moment I put codes in the sample like [sample], [playground], etc. so that I have a certain overview. But it would be great if we could have "folders". Because most of the time I don't need to see those sample and playground surveys. I will have a look at Denis' plugin, if this helps in any way.
