Configuring a Date Entry Question Type

A date entry question asks the respondent to respond by entering a date. To create a date entry question, you must configure a minimum and maximum valid date. You can optionally configure a default date that displays to respondents in the response field. Minimum, maximum, and default date parameters can be static or dynamic values.

Dynamic values are calculated from the point in time at which the respondent is responding to the question. For example, if the maximum date is dynamic with an offset of 3 days, the latest date in the future that a respondent can enter as a response is 3 days after the current date. If the respondent is responding on October 1, 2022, the latest date they can enter as a response is October 4, 2022.

Configuring a Time Entry Question Type

A time entry question asks the respondent to respond by entering a time. You can optionally configure a minimum and maximum valid time. If you don’t configure a minimum or maximum time, 00:00 is the minimum that is displayed by default,and 23:59 is the maximum that is displayed by default, meaning all times are allowed. You can optionally configure a default time that displays to respondents in the response field. Minimum, maximum, and default time parameters can be static or dynamic values.

Dynamic values are calculated from the point in time at which the respondent is responding to the survey. For example, if the minimum time is dynamic with an offset of -30 minutes, the earliest time in the past that a respondent can enter as a response is 30 minutes before the current time. If the respondent is responding at 11:00, the earliest time they can enter is 10:30.

Configuring a Datetime Entry Question Type

A datetime entry question asks the respondent to respond by entering a date and time. To configure a datetime entry question, you must configure a minimum and maximum valid datetime. You can optionally configure a default date, time, or datetime that displays to respondents in the response field. Minimum, maximum, and default datetime parameters can be static or dynamic values.

Dynamic values are calculated from the point in time at which the respondent is responding to the survey question. For example, if the minimum datetime is dynamic with an offset of -24 hours, the earliest datetime in the past that a respondent can enter as a response is 24 hours before the current datetime. If the respondent is responding at 11:00 on October 1, 2022, the earliest datetime they can enter is 11:00 on September 30, 2022.

Datetime Entry Question Universal Parameters

The following universal parameters apply for datetime entry question types.

Parameter Data Type Description JSON Code Example Requiredness
Survey block type String, with set option of dateTime Indicates a block is a datetime question type. "type": "dateTime" Required
Datetime entry question’s blockSettings container None Contains all minimum, maximum, and default value parameters for the datetime entry question’s configuration. "blockSettings": {
  "minValue": {...},
  "maxValue": {...},
  "default": {...}
}		 Required

Additional Details

If a date unit is used as the offset unit (days, weeks, months, years), the resulting datetime depends on whether the value is a negative or positive number:

  • If the offset value is negative, the resulting datetime is 00:00 on the day that’s [value] [units] from the datetime at which the respondent is answering the block.
    • Example: The minimum value is dynamic and -1 week. If the respondent is responding at 07:00 on October 20, 2022, the earliest datetime they can enter as a response is 00:00 on October 13, 2022.
  • If the offset value is positive, the resulting datetime is 23:59 on the day that’s [value] [units] from the datetime at which the respondent is answering the block.
    • Example: The maximum value is dynamic and +3 days. If the respondent is responding at 07:00 on October 20, 2022, the latest datetime they can enter as a response is 23:59 on October 23, 2022.
