I would like to get the current time of my participants based on their time zone so that I can use "branches" in survey flow to direct them to different pages/blocks. I need some support in developing codes to do this. Thanks!

@echongsk,You can use JS to get the local time, save the hour to an embedded variable, and use it for branching.```Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {var d = new Date();Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("hour", d.getHours());});```

> @echongsk said:> @TomG,> >May I also know if there's away to get the _date_ based on the local time of my survey taker as well? It depends on the format you want, the easiest way to get detailed date/time info in a string is this:```Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var d = new Date(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("date", d.toString());});```> Also, is the javascript getting the local time based on the IP address of the survey taker? I'm trying to see if there's a way to still get the local time of the person even if they use VPN. JavaScript gets the date/time from the client device where the browser is running. So, it should be correct if they are using a VPN (but not a a proxy).

How do you get the current time of people based on their time zone?
