Ensuring EGRA Widget Requirements in KoBoToolbox Forms

Hello KoBoToolbox Community,

I am currently designing a survey in KoBoToolbox that involves the use of the EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment) literacy widget. I need assistance with making the following functionalities possible:

  1. Mandatory Timer Activation: I would like to set the widget so that users cannot proceed to the next section until they have started the timer. This would ensure that users do not skip the essential timing step.
  2. Alert for Timer Completion: I also want to include an alert or reminder message that prompts users to click “Stop” on the timer before they can submit the form or move on. This measure would help prevent incomplete data submissions.

Welcome back to the community, @abdoulbi! This post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

Thank you for your help, @Kal_Lam . Unfortunately, the problem persists. The widget still allows submissions without filling in the field, even though it is set as mandatory, leading to cases of missing data. Does anyone have a solution to ensure that the field must be completed?
