==================
Hi. I would like to have a survey but with a time limit for each user to answer all questions.
That is, each user has only 10 minutes to answer all the questions in a specific survey.
Is there any way to achieve this?
How can I get it?
TIA
PS: I am using the version 3.27.xx

Please, do not cross post in different parts of the forum at the same time.

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

No, at least not out of the box, I think.

If all questions are on one page you might be able to set a time limit for one of the questions as a work around, maybe.

But if the questions are on different pages, then you will need to find another workaround.

For example you could save the start time in a hidden question on the first page of the questionnaire and then on any other page you include a question that checks against this time. If the 10 minutes are passed, you will need to find a way to "submit" what has been done so far and prevent people from continuing. E.g. by automatically setting a question that triggers a zero quota and then auto submit the page. In this case the survey should close completely, even if you are somewhere in the middle. But this is probably quite some workaround and probably very open for errors.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
