Appendix: Creating a Time Question

A Time question accepts a date value in a specified format (e.g. HH:mm:ss). This question type is very similar to the Date type, except it does not display a picker, and as such the end user is required to enter the time manually in the text field.

Implementation:

  1. Switch to the Definition tab.
  2. Select the intended question group.
  3. Add a question and change its type to Time.
  4. Use the Question Text field to enter the text you want to appear alongside the question.
  5. Enter a unique keyword in the Question Keyword field.
  6. (Optional) If you want to pass the provided response to a variable, select the intended one in the Target Model Variable drop-down menu.
  7. (Optional) If you want to add a default numeric response that will appear in the question field before the end user has provided their own, tick the Default Response Value check box and enter the default response in the text field.
  8. (Optional) Use the text field in the Date Time Format section enter a custom date format to use for the question. If you enter anything into this field, it will override the default time format set by your model.
  9. (Optional) Switch to Further Question Options and change the settings as required.
  10. Click Save Question.
