Loop & Merge Timer Not Working Below 5 Seconds | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi Qualtrics Community,
I have a question I was hoping you could help with. I need my participants to be exposed to a series of images that need to automatically rotate without any interaction from the participant. They will not have any buttons or any actions from their side, they only need to be exposed to the series of images that will automatically advance in their screens after 1 second.
I have configured a Loop & Merge with the images and have added a Timing question to ensure I can use the Auto-Advance function. It works wonderfully. However, it only auto-advances after 5 seconds, even if I configure the Auto-Advance to 1 second.
I have noticed it is able to go above 5 seconds (I've tried 10 and 15 and it works great) but no less than 5 seconds.
Is there anyway I can configure this Timing to Auto-Advance at 1 second? Is this expected behavior or a technical issue?
Thank you!

Try using the below script in the OnReady function of add javascript:
setTimeout(function(){ jQuery("#NextButton").click(); }, 1000);
