Set time limit and Create live survey sessions¶
Set time limit¶
In the Viindoo system, users can set a time limit for surveys, which allows enterprises to create more challenging tests.
When the time is exceeded, the question or survey will be automatically closed.
Survey Time Limit¶
To set a time limit for a survey, first, go to the Surveys module, then create or select an existing survey. Then, on the Options tab, navigate to the Question section and enable the Survey Time Limit feature to configure the survey time limit (by minutes).
Let’s set the survey time limit to 10 minutes. Press Save to save the setting.
Press Share to share this survey with participants.
When the participants start a survey, a countdown timer will appear to count the remaining time.
When the countdown timer ends at 0, the survey will automatically close. All unanswered questions will count as zeros.
Note
This feature can operate independently without having to create a live session.
Question Time Limit¶
To limit the time for each question of the surveys, follow these steps:
Go to the Surveys module, and select a survey.
At the survey view, press Edit, then choose or create a new question. See details: Create questions in a Survey.
At the question view, select the Options tab then scroll to the Live Sessions section.

Enter the time limit of this question (seconds).
When the live survey session begins, the time will start counting down automatically for the configured question. Users won’t be able to select any answers when this countdown ends.
Note
This feature only operates on the live session.
