Hi,

We're using RSForms Pro on Joomla 1.5

I have a rather complex form with over 30 fields (it's a survey) that one of my users has put togther.
At the end of the survey he plans to export the data to some sort of statistical analysis software using the excel or csv export function.

There are several radio groups in the form with options like this :

*******************************

I have just started my program
I am about half-way through my program
I am more than half-way through my program
I have completed all my program requirements except for my thesis
I have graduated (I am an alumnus)

*******************************

I'm looking for a way to export a value/option id (ie. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) for the submission rather than the full text of the chosen answer (ex. "I have completed all my program requirements except for my thesis").

Can anyone advise how I should go about this ?

Thanks,

Steve

If you want to save upon form submission another value, you will have to define your items in the form of value|text, like this:
value|text shown
value2|text shown2
...

Basically, in your case it will look like this:
1|I have just started my program
2|I am about half-way through my program
3|I am more than half-way through my program
4|I have completed all my program requirements except for my thesis
5|I have graduated (I am an alumnus)

Please note that this does not mean that your already submitted information will be updated - the current submissions will not be modified.
