total question response time recorded  
Written by opirnia the 25 Nov 09 at 17:20. Related project: 1.x all. New
We would like to keep track of how long respondents take to answer each question.

This would be a little like the timing feature but backwards; that is, instead of counting down we would need it to count up, record the time somewhere, and then begin again for the next question.

Solution #1: copy question timestamp & response together to response datafile
Written by opirnia the 25 Nov 09 at 17:20.
sorry, I'm not sure how things are saved. The idea though is I would like a timestamp sort of function recorded along with the response for each question.

reset slider answer  
Written by opirnia the 22 Nov 09 at 17:13. Related project: 1.x all. New
we are running limesurvey version 1.85+ (7337).

In questions using multiple numeric answers with sliders, sometimes we have answers that the participant can skip if they wish.

If they have clicked at all on the slider answer before deciding to skip it, however, a value is recorded. They can then slide back and forth after that but cannot go back to no value (so are in effect at that point forced to answer/have an answer value recorded).

We would like a way for participants to reset the slider value to nothing (not zero but no value) as if they had never clicked on the slider at all.

Solution #1: reset slider box/button
Written by opirnia the 22 Nov 09 at 17:13.
perhaps a button directly to the right of the slider answer might somehow reset it. Text on (or next to) the button might say "skip" or "no answer"

Track time respondents use for each question  
Written by opirnia the 11 Oct 09 at 05:48. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented
I am doing surveys that involve showing participants a message; at some point in the questions that follow (after reading the message) their responses begin to differ from participants who did not read a message. It would be nice to know more about when that happens.

messages aside, this would also allow us to omit questions that are taking participants an excessively long time to complete (compared to other questions)

Selected solution (#2): Record time in minutes spent on a question/question group
Written by izahn the 16 Oct 09 at 07:24.
I don't think time stamps are the way to go. Just calculate the actual time spent.

It's actually kind of complicated I think.

1) If presenting one-question-per-page, have a question attribute "record time".
2) If presenting one-group-per-page, have a question group attribute "record time".
3) Store the value in a field named "QUESTIONID_time" if survey is presented question-by-question or "QGROUP_time" if survey is presented group-by-group.

If you have these all turned on in question-by-question presentation mode then you've just doubled the number of fields in your data set. So I don't think this should be and option at the survey level, only at the group/question level.

A related request is to set time limits for questions/question groups. After the time limit has expired the survey moves on to the next question/question group.
