Date Time Options provides several check boxes that allow you to alter various aspects of the date time field you are adding or modifying. The following is a summary of each option, how it affects the answer field, and what additional fields you may encounter when the option is selected.


Response Required

To make this date time field require a response, check the option Response Required. With this option selected, when a survey respondent skips over this answer field, it will trigger an error message. To customize this error message, do so in the following Customize Error Messages section.


Restrict Response

This check box will provide the option to limit the acceptable dates in the date time field. Additional fields On or After and On or Before will appear below the section Restrict Response to limit the range of acceptable dates.


Fixed Position

This option will only appear if you have Randomize Answer Fields or Alphabetize Answer Fields enabled for the field Answer Order. When selected, this option prevents this particular answer choice from being randomized or alphabetized, leaving the answer choice in place.


Automatic Scoring

This feature only appears when scoring has been enabled for the survey. This option allows automatic scoring to be turned on. You can set validation rules to automatically score certain points when the validation condition has been matched.


Customize Template for this Answer Field

When creating a template, designers can specify fields that pertain to answer fields visuals. If you check this option, additional fields will appear allowing you to customize various aspects of this answer field in the template you have chosen. Some of the more common customizations are items such as field label style and text field style. The template designer, however, can include any fields they wish (and hopefully provide relevant help — click on the question mark icon next to each field to read more about it).
