Respondent Time Tracker

Use this plugin to log the time respondents spend on voting. 

Please check the article to know how to insert plugins into your form.

It requires to be set up in its own Single Line Text question type with 8 answer options to store the plugin's parameters. Use the Show/Hide feature to hide this question from responders. 

The Plugin may only be applied to the form once.

The plugin records data when a respondent submits the form. If there is the branching logic outcome which could be sending respondents to the end of the form (the submit button is not used), some of the answers will be left empty, and the plugin parameters will not be recorded.

A possible workaround: set up a section header question on the last page of your form and set up your branching logic leading to the last page; in this case, respondents will be required to press the submit button. 

Use the Qx.Ay format where x is the question number and y is the answer number (i.e. Q2.A1). the plugin also supports question/answer identifiers.
