Since LimeSurvey™ is highly flexible in what types of surveys can be implemented, this single Survey based Risk Data Collector can be seen as a "meta" collector, in that is can collect any type of user input collectable from LimeSurvey™ (Creating LimeSurvey Questionnaires provide instructions to create surveys compatible with this RDR).

The LimeSurvey™ Survey based Risk Data Collector requires 4 input values in addition to the mandatory "targetEntity" input value. They are as follows:

Name Meaning
username The user name of the user account with which the LimeSurvey™ Survey based Risk Data Collector should log in to the running LimeSurvey™ instance.
password The password of the user account with which the LimeSurvey™ Survey based Risk Data Collector should log in to the running LimeSurvey™ instance.
url The domain for the LimeSurvey™ instance which contains the survey to collect from, for example: http://limesurvey.merit.unu.edu/
surveyID A numeric ID of the LimeSurvey™ survey which should be collected from.
responseID A numeric ID of the specific response instance of the LimeSurvey™ survey which should be collected.

The results of the Survey based Internal Risk Data Collector are specific to the individual survey which is collected so therefore cannot possibly be enumerated here but for a given survey, all of the results from the survey will appear in the results of the LimeSurvey™ Survey based Risk Data Collector. The following table include the set of data inputs defined in the survey for gathering contextual indicators for the adopter organization.
