Total Time Limit

  • Time settings are measured in seconds.

  • For example:

    • 90 seconds = 1.5 minutes

    • 180 seconds = 3 minutes

Note: If you want a total time of 3 minutes, set the survey timer to 180 seconds.

Page Time Limit

  • You can also set a time limit per page (for example, 60 seconds per page).

Timer Display Options

Choose where (or if) the timer appears:

  • Hidden

  • Top of the page

  • Bottom of the page

Timer Mode

Select how the timer applies:

  • Per page

  • Entire survey

  • Both

All changes are saved automatically.

Step 5: Preview the Quiz

  • Click Preview to see how the timer behaves.

  • You’ll see the countdown in action and how much time users have to complete each page and the full quiz.

Step 6: Apply or Duplicate the Quiz

Once saved, the quiz settings will apply to the next distribution of the survey.

If You Want to Keep the Original Survey

If you don’t want to overwrite the original survey:

  1. Open the survey.

  2. Go to Workflows Used.

  3. Create a new distribution.

  4. Apply Quiz Mode settings to the new workflow.

  2. Click Pause Workflow.

Only the new quiz distribution will continue going forward.
