Date and Time Question

What is the Date/Time question?

Date/Time allows you the ability ask respondents to enter a value for a date, and, if desired, a time. This can be useful for asking birthdays, store visit and time, website visit and time, desired date and time of an event, and other such questions.

How do I add a Date/Time question to my survey?

• Click on Add Question button to add a question.
• From the Basic select the Date / Time question.
• Enter the question text.
• Enable if you would like to display date or display time or both. Displaying the time will allow the time entry drop-down to appear next to the date drop-down. Note: The question cannot be added until at least one option from 'display date' or 'display time' is selected.
• You can also enable Default to Today's Date. This will always be the date that you or the respondent accesses the survey. Note: This option can be enabled only if the 'display date' option is enabled.
• Click Save Question.
