Label Set Administration:
You are currently viewing the Label Sets Administration section of LimeSurvey.
From this point you can create, edit or delete Label Sets for use in the 'flexible labels' question type(s). Label Sets allow you to pre-define a series of options against which various answers can be checked. For example, in may surveys you may want to ask the participant for a response to a particular statement or scenario and give them a list of choices for each one. An example is show below:
Please indicate the extent to which you agree with the following statements: | |||||
Agree Strongly | Agree Somewhat | Neither Agree Nor Disagree | Disagree Somewhat | Disagree Strongly | |
I am a very strange person | |||||
I love ice cream | |||||
Green is a lovely colour |
Using Label Sets you can create your own column headings for these sorts of questions.

Adding a New Labelset

to create or
import a new label set.
A labelset requires just a name. Each label set is also automatically given a unique "LID" (or Labelset InDex) number. You can create a labelset with the same name as another label set, although generally this is not recommended (as it tends to confuse things). The label set will be distinguishable from any with a different name by its LID number.
Importing a Label Set
You can use the Import Label Set option at the bottom of the screen to import a
label set. Click
on browse, choose the LimeSurvey *.sql file containing your label set and then
click on the Import button.
