Kiosk survey that resets

Kiosk survey that resets was created by BHS_Kez
Hello,

I need to create a survey that can be used in a browser as a kiosk set up.

I work with a school and during parents evenings the parents are given a link to complete a survey on their evenings' experience. However, very few actually do it so, I've been asked to create a kiosk-style one they can do on their way out the door.

I can't seem to find any setting to do this, would it be something I would have to get a plugin for?

The basic functions I need are:

Survey to restart on completion
Survey to reset after being inactive for 30-60 seconds (in case they wander off without finishing)
Have a simple interface and a popup onscreen keyboard for the 'any other comments' section.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi,

"Survey to restart on completion" : enter you survey's URL as end-URL, and set end-URL to load automatically (after finishing).
"Survey to reset after being inactive for 30-60 seconds " : No idea....?
"Have a simple interface": that's up to you as survey designer
"popup onscreen keyboard": you can set this somewhere in General settings - Presentation and navigation, something like "keyboardless execution".
Hope this helps a bit!

Thank you for helping.
I'm going to need to dig about to find how to get the survey to reset after inactivity.
I wonder if it can be done in the browser itself to auto-refresh, as long as I turn off the feature that lets the user continue from where they last stopped, it should just go back to the start of the survey

To get it to reset after inactivity, try placing something like this in your theme custom.js file:

Code:
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
  // Delay before redirecting in seconds
  var sleepTime = 60;
 
  var redirectTimeout;
 
  function startTimer() {
    redirectTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
      window.location.href = 'https://pathTo/limeSurvey/index.php/123456?newtest=Y';
    }, sleepTime*1000);
  }
 
  function stopTimer() {
    clearTimeout(redirectTimeout);
  }
 
  startTimer();
 
  $('input, textarea, button').on('click change keyup', function(e) {
    stopTimer();
    startTimer();
  });
 
});
Cheers,
