Linking surveys: start of documentation - by: tammo

I recently fell into the pit of desiging a very large survey, without looking at the limitations. This became very frustrating, since after more than a day of defining questions, I found out that the survey had become too large. That is: the answers table had too many columns and the survey could not run.

At that time I did not have time to dive into the possibilities of linking surveys, but now I have. I started to write an article (for the documenation) about this, which I want to share and discuss here. After discussing, hopefully with some usefull additions by YOU, my dear reader, I will publish it in the documenation wiki of LimeSurvey.

You can find the stub at:
docs.google.com/document/d/1J4dCuS2Egxv4...ZfQ/edit?usp=sharing

Please look at it and add you comments, edits, additions. Don't be afraid, Google docs is defined thus, that errors in writing can be easily deleted. With your help and with help from others we can make this rock!

Thanks in advance,

Tammo ter Hark

PS: the linked surveys that are attached as files to this forum artcle, have been provided by user Deusdeorum. Thanks to him I got started on this article.
