I was wondering if it is possible to include a timer for the whole of the questionaire?

I already found timing options for each individual question, but I am specifically looking for options to include a timer on the whole of the enquiry.

For example: this enquiry (eg Multiple choice examination) should be filled in after 30 minutes. After 30 minutes the enquiry closes itself.

Thanks!

There is no built-in facility for this and I can't think of an easy workaround.

Hmmm, I am a little disappointed, Tony. You always find a solution... hahahaha.

But I also think this will be very difficult.

I was thinking of something like this:

On each page a hidden single choice question with a zero quota for one answer.

Then a hidden question with the start time and a Javascript reading the start time and check if the time is over or not. if time is over, javascript to check the quota question and submit (not sure if this works).

Well, that would probably work but since in the data quota-outs look like incompletes, I think you would also want a hidden question in each group to be clicked if time-out.

Well, I would have created this quota-out as something called "time out". Of course they look like incomplete, but they actually are and you just need to check the "time out" questions for "yes" to check which are just dropouts and incompletes and which are "timed out" questionnaires.

But this would also be a hell lot of work I guess, as you need various hidden questions and the Javascript on each page. If someone is clever enough to switch off Javascript still could take more time to finalize, etc.

Idea:
Create an hidden question text
Create a plugin using 'beforeSUrveyPage' plugin event
Update this hidden question text using $_SESSION in this plugin.

Then we can do some Condition based on this hidden question text
