Forms duration stamp

Marijan · 05/22/20

Is there a way to add a START and END timestamp to the Form/Sheet that will enable me to determine the duration it has taken for each respondent to complete the form?

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment to get the time the form was opened, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, you could maybe continue to use the Microsoft Forms, Google Forms or similar.

Would that work?

This is a new task which I would like to timestamp so will do without it for now but it would be a very useful "nice to have". Many thanks Andree

Hi @Marijan

Do you want to measure the time from when you share the form until submitted or something else?

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hello again Andree!

I want to measure the duration it takes respondents to complete the Form process as I want to know which respondants just process the answers and not read the text above. Therefore a START date/time column and an END data/time column, then I could calculate the time in DURATION=END-START. Here is an example I use in Excel which is extracted from a Microsoft Form:
