The following question types support timers:

Time limit (time_limit)

Description

Setting the time_limit attribute on a question will cause a countdown timer to begin counting down as soon as that question/page is loaded. At the expiry of the countdown timer the question will either automatically move on to the next page, or become read-only.

The timer attributes work best with surveys displayed in "Question by question" mode. It is possible to use them in "Group by group" mode, but can break survey with mandatory question.

Valid values

  • Any positive integer number

Example

Set it to 240 to count down from 4 minutes (240 seconds)
