I have created a survey, but the message 'No available surveys' is merely shown on my LimeSurvey homepage?

I have created a survey, but the message 'No available surveys' is merely shown on my LimeSurvey homepage?

Problem

Surveys don't appear on the LimeSurvey public index page by default, for privacy reasons.

Solution

To make your survey visible publicly, follow these steps:

  1. Open the survey and click Settings (the gear icon) in the editor's left icon rail — or choose General settings from the survey's "..." menu in the workspace.
  2. Open the Publication & access section.
  3. Turn on Link survey on public index page.

Settings save automatically (a "Saved at" indicator appears), so there is no Save button to click.
