===Time limit action (time_limit_action)=== <!--T:661-->


<!--T:662-->
'''Description'''


<!--T:663-->
Sets the action performed when a '''time_limit''' has expired. By default the action for a time limit is "Warn and move on", which means the system will give a short warning that the time limit has expired before saving the question and effectively automatically clicking "Next >>". The alternative choices are to:
* "Move on without warning", which automatically clicks the "Next >>" button after the timer is finished but without any warning message.
* "Disable only", which disables changes in the question so the participant can't change anything, but doesn't automatically click the "Next >>" button.

<!--T:664-->
This setting is only applicable if the general '''time limit''' setting is activated.

<!--T:665-->
'''Available options'''
*Warn and move on (default): will warn the participant that the time has expired, and then click the next button
*Move on without warning: will immediately click the next button after the time limit has expired
*Disable only: will disable the answer after the time limit has expired but not automatically click next

'''Additional information'''


<!--T:670-->
{{Alert|title=Attention|text=If the question is mandatory, or a question in the group is mandatory, a JavaScript loop will be created if the mandatory question(s) is/are not answered. As a result, an error will be displayed on the screen that certain questions have not be filled in, which in turn will trigger the refresh of the page.</br>

<!--T:672-->
Instead of relying on mandatory questions, you may use [[ExpressionScript - Presentation|expressions]] (read more about [[QS:Em_validation_q|question]] and [[QS:Em_validation_sq|subquestion]] validation equations) to make the user not leave empty the answer fields. To see how the validation equations work, check the following [[Expression_Manager_sample_surveys#Validation_Equations|example]].}}


<!--T:671-->
In the case in which you want to apply a timer to a question group, activate the [[General_settings#General_settings_panel|group-by-group survey mode]], set up a question to use the [[QS:Time_limit|time limit functionality]], and choose the warn and move on (default) option as time limit action. Once the question timer expires, the survey will move to the next page.
