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.

Security for Survey Results

Written by bighiller the 20 Jan 10 at 19:01. Related project: 1.x all. Implemented

Basically there are situations where the results of a survey may need to be viewed by a number of people, but you do not wish to have these people be able to alter the results of the survey.

Case in point is one I worked on for a group of customer service reps. The survey was intended to determine how well each CSR was doing and the support in general. Now we want to have the CSRs be able to view the results across the board, but there is no option to disable their ability to alter the results of a response. So if they noticed that one customer gave them a bad rating, they can change it. Currently the only way to have the CSRs view the results is to give them permission, but that permission also allows them to alter the results.

I think there should be a way to give users/groups permission to view the results, but nothing else.
