Is there a way to set inactivity time after which the survey would expire? | XM Community
Skip to main content
I want to have a survey where after a certain time of inactivity - the survey sends the user to an end of survey message. This should prevent a case where one user (in this case a student) starts to fill the survey, then "forgets" about it but leaves it open, and another student continues the survey from the same point (they are using the same computer in their class, for example). I know that I can set a total duration limit, but is there any way to measure inactivity time? Thanks in advance!

@bansalpeeyush29 i.e. is about inactive survey message, however, here @yinbar need to know about the inactive time (session kept open for the longer duration). I don't think we have something directly available however, you can have a timer question associated with each block and you can check if certain block took more time to answer than expected then you can send that user to "end of survey"



There is two similar topic discussion which you should look as well:

Hi @yinbar

you can set a timer question after each question and find the difference between the the first click and last click by saving the data from the timer question in embedded data and then check if it is greater than (your required time in secs).

This will close to the be inactivity time that you require but cant be called as inactive time.

cons will be that every question would require to be in different block and there would be branch logic after every question

Hope this Helps 🙂
