Overview

A Time question lets learners enter a time of day as their answer — useful for capturing things like a shift start time or the time an event took place. It's one of the question types you can pick when building a Form or quiz.

Add a Time question

1. Open the Form you want to edit — you'll land in the question builder in edit mode.
2. Click Add question at the bottom of the builder to add a new question.
3. With the new question selected, open the question type dropdown to the right of the question title and choose Time.
4. Type your question in the question field, and use the Required toggle if learners must answer. Your changes save automatically.

Good to know: When learners answer, they enter the hours and minutes and choose AM or PM.

Things to keep in mind

• Learners answer using a 12-hour time entry — hours, minutes and an AM/PM selector.
• An invalid entry (for example minutes above 59) is flagged so learners can correct it before submitting.
• Time questions record the time the learner enters and don't count towards a Form's pass score.

FAQs

What format is the time in?
A 12-hour format — Hours:Minutes with an AM/PM selector.

Is a Time question graded?
No. A Time question simply records the time the learner enters; it doesn't contribute to a Form's pass score.

Who can do this

Owners, Admins, Managers, Content Managers and Instructors can add and edit Form questions. People Managers, Employees and Restricted users have read-only access and cannot change a Form's questions.
