Limesurvey offers a wide range of features. Some of them are a little complex to set up in a survey. To help new users getting familiar with these feature, we intend to create several sample surveys which users can easily download from our manual and import for testing.
Each survey should contain 8-10 questions, depending on the feature that is demonstrated.

  5. Demonstrate the use of ~10 different question attributes.
