Attempts Allowed Type	Value
Unlimited	0
Editable	1
Limited	2

Surveys.SurveyReadData¶

When the service sends you information about a survey, it will send back a JSON structure like this:

{
    "SurveyId": <number:D2LID>,
    "Name": <string>,
    "SortOrder": <number>,
    "HasInstantFeedback": <boolean>,
    "IsAnonymous": <boolean>,
    "Description": {
        "Text": { <composite:RichText> },
        "IsDisplayed": <boolean>
    },
    "Submission": { <composite:RichText> },
    "Footer": {
        "Text": { <composite:RichText> },
        "IsDisplayed": <boolean>
    },
    "IsActive": <boolean>,
    "StartDate": <string:UTCDateTime>|null,
    "EndDate": <string:UTCDateTime>|null,
    "DisplayInCalendar": <boolean>,
    "UserResponses": {
        "AttemptsAllowedTypeId": <number:ATTEMPTSALLOWEDTYPE_T>,
        "NumberOfAttempts": <number>|null
    },
    "CategoryId": <number>|null,
    "PreventMovingBackwards": <boolean>,  // Added with LE API v1.43
    "Shuffle": <boolean>,  // Added with LE API v1.43
    "ActivityId": <string>|null  // Added with LE API v1.43
}

UserResponses: If the AttemptsAllowedTypeId property is 0, then the NumberOfAttemptsAllowed property will be null; if AttemptsAllowedTypeId is 1, then NumberOfAttemptsAllowed will be 1; if AttemptsAllowedTypeId is 2, then NumberOfAttemptsAllowed will contain the number of attempts allowed (default value is 1).
Description, SubmissionMessage, and Footer: These rich text properties can be displayed, or hidden, upon presentation of the survey to those taking it (based on the value of the IsDisplayed property).
PreventMovingBackwards: When true, prevents the survey taker from paging backwards in this survey.
Shuffle: When true, the order of the questions is randomized.

Surveys.SurveyWriteData¶

When creating or updating a survey, use a structure like this:

{
    "Name": <string>,
    "HasInstantFeedback": <boolean>,
    "IsAnonymous": <boolean>,
    "Description": {
        "Text": { <composite:RichTextInput> },
        "IsDisplayed": <boolean>
    },
    "Submission": <composite:RichTextInput>,
    "Footer": {
        "Text": { <composite:RichTextInput> },

    },
    "IsActive": <boolean>,

    "UserResponses": {
        "AttemptsAllowedTypeId": <number:ATTEMPTSALLOWEDTYPE_T>,
        "NumberOfAttempts": <number>|null
    },
    "CategoryId": <number>|null,
    "PreventMovingBackwards": <boolean>,  // Added with LE API v1.43
    "Shuffle": <boolean>  // Added with LE API v1.43
}

UserResponses: If the AttemptsAllowedTypeId property is 0, then the NumberOfAttemptsAllowed property will be null; if AttemptsAllowedTypeId is 1, then NumberOfAttemptsAllowed will be 1; if AttemptsAllowedTypeId is 2, then NumberOfAttemptsAllowed will contain the number of attempts allowed (default value is 1).
PreventMovingBackwards: When true, prevents the survey taker from paging backwards in this survey.
