Every trouble has solutions with them

As yesterday I am going for healing. I skip a day of writing on Medium, well the time is not good at all, I forgot to creating a backup plan so I didn’t writing at all. But today, I am panicked about losing all survey results from lime survey after deactived survey.

After that, I couldn’t access the response survey anymore.

Okay, the first thing I did, is search on Google for the solutions, and I found this from Lime Survey help center.

From that, I shouldn’t be panicked as it can be restored. First of all, start again the survey

For your note, don’t change anything at your questions, but go to the response

Click the Import button and click Import responses from a deactivated survey table

Choose all the survey responses backup

Click Import

All the survey’s responses will be going back

Conclusions

Congrats, right now you can access again the surveys that feels like gone before. Well, this article, is a note for me, for not being panicked at every situations. Instead of panicked, let slowly, but surely find the solutions. Thanks.
