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.

|
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.
