想要实现在页面设置一个计时器 | XM Community
Skip to main content

hi,
Hi! We want to complete a design in the experiment. Specifically, we want to show participants a group of words (60 words in total), one page for each word, and participants can click on the next page to see the next word. In the process, they need to see a timer (the time is 1 minute). In the process of clicking on words, the timer counts down or counts up. We now encounter a difficulty: We design each word in a question, and all the words are in a block. We hope that this timer can only be displayed in the block, that is, at the end of 1 minute, it will automatically jump to the next block. If the participant reads all the words in less than one minute, he will wait for the end of the one-minute timer before jumping to the next block. At the same time, the timer should be eye-catching enough.
At present, the difficulties we encounter are:
How to automatically jump to the next block after one minute
Thank you for your help!

Hi,
I think what you are trying to do can be accomplished with Qualtrics' Timing question type. This lets you display a timer to the respondent (in seconds) and it also Auto-advances to the next question after a specified amount of time. You could add a Timing question for each relevant question in your survey block. A bit more on Timing question type can be found here:
Timing QuestionIf the Timing question does not suit your needs, I found a discussion that touches on something similar at the block level with Javascript, though it is much more involved:

Hope this helps!
