Time Component

The Time component in Form Builder Pro is perfect for capturing specific times or durations in your forms. This tutorial explains the configuration options and guides you through creating both types of Time fields: specific time and duration.

Detailed Walkthrough Guide

  1. Question: Enter the question you’d like to ask. This will be the main text shown to respondents.
  2. Description: Provide additional context or instructions related to the question.
  3. Image URL: Add an image to enhance the question. Simply paste the image URL in this field.
  4. No/Required: Choose whether this question is mandatory. Selecting Not Required allows respondents to skip it.
  5. Point Value: Leave blank for no points or assign a value for quizzes.

Working with Time Modes

The Time component supports two modes: No/Duration and Yes/Duration.

No/Duration

When you select No/Duration, a time selector will appear in the generated form. Respondents can select a specific time of day. Add general feedback text or leave the Feedback Link blank if no additional guidance is needed.

Yes/Duration

When you select Yes/Duration, respondents can input a duration instead of a specific time. This is ideal for questions where you need the respondent to define a period of time (e.g., hours, minutes, seconds).

Here’s how you can configure it:

  1. Enter the question, description, and image fields.
  2. Choose Yes/Duration in the Duration field.
  3. Optionally, add feedback text for the answer key or leave it blank.

Generate Your Form

Once you've configured your Time components, generate your form:

  1. Go to the Extensions menu in Google Sheets.
  2. Select Form Builder Pro and click Generate Form.
  3. Open the generated form in View Mode to preview it.
