-===== Using LimeSurvey ===== 
- 
-==== Creating a New Survey ==== 
- 
-You can create a new survey, or you can create a copy of a survey. In general, it's easier to create a copy than to create a survey from scratch. This allows you to use a survey as a template. 
- 
-  - Click on "Surveys" at top of the page. 
-  - Click on "Create a New Survey" button at the top left. 
-  - Click on the "Copy" tab. 
-  - Select the survey to copy and give it a different name. 
-  - Click "Copy survey" button at the bottom of the page. 
- 
-If you want to make changes to **this survey only**, make changes //after// you copy the survey. If you want to make changes to **the template survey**, make changes to the template survey and *then* copy it. 
- 
-==== Activate a Survey ==== 
- 
-  - Click on "Surveys" at top of the page. A list of surveys will appear. 
-  - Click on the status icon in the "Status" column. 
-  - Click on the "Activate this survey" button. (Make sure that "Anonymized responses?" is set to **Off**.) 
-  - Click on the "Save and activate this survey" button. 
-  - LimeSurvey will ask if you want to initialise the participants table. Click "Yes". 
-  - Add participants. (See below.) 
- 
-==== Adding Participants ==== 
- 
-Prepare a comma-separated CSV file that contains three fields in this order: firstname, lastname, email. (Those fieldnames **must** be int he first row of the csv file.)

-  - Click on the "Survey participants button. 
-  - Click on the "Create" button. In the drop-down menu, select the "Import participants from: CSV file" option. 
-  - Select your csv file and click "Upload". 
-  - Browse through the list of participants and make sure everything is correct. (This is your last chance to fix any mistakes in your csv file.) 
-  - Click on "Generate tokens". Click through twice more until this process is complete. 
-  - Click on "Invitations and Reminders". Select "Send email invitations." 
-  - Set up the email as you would like. Be sure to include a greeting, and the survey url shortcode. 
-  - Click on "Send invitations". LimeSurvey will email everybody on your list. Depending on your server's email configuration, this may take a while, or it may send them out in groups of 50. 
- 
-==== Exporting Results ==== 
- 
-LimeSurvey will send an email to the survey administrator every time a survey is completed. You can click on the link and follow these instructions starting from step 7.
