Hi

I see that for each survey there's a section about "Publication and access settings" where there's info on Start date/time and Expiration date/time. Sometimes I stop and execute surveys to test or correct things and I'm not sure if Start date/time is the last time the survey was started or the first time it started. The same for Expiration  date/time. Is there somewhere a log file where Stop and Execute events get registered and timestamped? Sometimes it's useful to know the total amount of time a surveyed was open.

Thank you.

Hi,
this is not an Info but a setting.
Here you decide in which datetime range an active survey is accessible.

E.g. You activate a survey (about a special event starting at 10 o'clock) before you leave the office, but want to make sure that the survey only can be answered after the end of that event, and not before.

Same with the expiration. The survey cannot be accessed after a certain date.
This way you do not have to sit in front of your computer to deactivate the survey exactly on midnight, 22nd of June.

As you might have seen in the participants table each participant can have his own start and expiration date.

I am not really sure what you want to log.
The time you worked on a survey?

Please, explain.

Hi, thanks Joffm for your answer.

I realize I can configure start and expire times under "Settings > Publication & access control settings". I was referring to where that info is displayed under "Overview > Publication and access settings". I though here times were registered according to Activate/Stop manual actions but it seems that it is only to display the info configured under "Settings > Publication & access control settings".

As I was trying to explain, sometimes I activate and stop surveys to test them and would like to see a log where this manual actions get registered with timestamps, for example if I forgot what date I activated and stopped the survey manually and need to know for how long the survey was open.
