Do you ever feel like your forms take forever to complete?  Maybe you're running a quiz or a contest, and you want to encourage quick thinking and fast responses.  Formaloo's timer feature is here to help!  By setting a time limit for form completion, you can:

• Boost Engagement: A ticking clock adds a layer of excitement and urgency, keeping users focused and motivated to finish the form.
• Improve Data Quality: Time limits can help prevent users from giving rushed or incomplete answers, leading to more accurate data collection.
• Create a Fair Playing Field: For quizzes and contests, a timer ensures everyone has the same amount of time to compete.

Pro Tip:  Be considerate! Include a clear message in your form description about the time limit to avoid surprising users.

How to set a timer in Formaloo forms and quizzes?

1. Open the form you want to edit in Formaloo.
2. Click the "Settings" tab at the top of the editor.
3. Locate the "Timer" option on the left menu.
4. Choose your desired time limit (hours and minutes).

What users see:

• A prominent timer will be displayed on the form, showing remaining time.

• Once the timer hits zero, a message appears indicating the time is up.

Important Note: Users cannot disable or pause the timer once they begin the form.

When the timer is enabled, the users can not submit the form after the time is up. You can enable partial submission (auto-save) so that the form URL will automatically update as the user fills out the form.

This way you will receive their responses on the result page even if they haven't submitted the form.

Time to take action!

Adding a timer to your Formaloo forms is a simple yet powerful way to improve user experience, gather better data, and even inject some excitement into your surveys and quizzes. So give it a try and see how the timer can help you achieve your form-filling goals!
