============================== Timed and randomized questions ============================== When creating a survey in Odoo, there are options to set a time limit on the survey and randomize the questions. Time limit ========== During a timed survey, participants must finish the survey within a specified period of time. A common use case for implementing a time limit is that it greatly reduces the chance of participants looking up responses via external resources (e.g. web search), and reduces the survey to a "closed book" testing environment. Find the :guilabel:`Survey Time Limit` setting in the :guilabel:`Options` tab of the survey form, under the :guilabel:`Questions` section. .. image:: time_random/time-limit.png :align: center :alt: Time limit field in the options tab of a survey template form. When the :guilabel:`Survey Time Limit` option is checked, a timer will be displayed on every page of the survey, letting participants keep track of the time remaining while the survey is active. .. note:: Participants that do not submit their survey by the preconfigured time limit will *not* have their answers saved. Randomized selection ==================== When a survey is randomized, Odoo shuffles the questions and reveals them in a random order every time a participant begins the questionnaire. Using randomization as a survey method discourages participants from looking at each other's responses, and helps control for individual testing. To randomize a survey, click the :guilabel:`Options` tab on the survey form. In the :guilabel:`Questions` section, select :guilabel:`Randomized per section` for the :guilabel:`Selection` field. After enabling, navigate to the :guilabel:`Questions` tab and look in the :guilabel:`Random questions count` column. From there, determine how many questions (per section) Odoo should select and display during the shuffling of questions. .. image:: time_random/random-questions.png :align: center :alt: Randomized question count in the questions tab of a survey. .. seealso:: :doc:`scoring`
