Can I move a question on after a participant has been on it for two minutes? | XM Community
Skip to main content

I'm currently doing my Masters dissertation, and I'm trying to do a memory task on here whereby participants have 2 minutes to study a list of words, followed by a further 2 minutes on the next page to recall as many of these words as possible. Is there a way of making it so that the page with the words is only displayed for 2 minutes, and then participants are automatically moved onto the next page of the questionnaire?? I don't want there to be a choice for them to move on just by the arrow appearing after two minutes, I want them to be forced onto the next page once the time limit is up.

Add a timer question to the top of the page and set the autoadvance after 120 seconds.
Alternatively you could use JS:
var quest = this;
setTimeout(function(){
quest.getQuestionContainer().hide();
quest.clickNextButton();
}, 120000);

The inbuilt approach is simpler, but it may not be exactly 120 seconds. If you are looking millisecond level precision, then go with the JS.
