How to calculate per page data entry duration (in ENKETO, pages theme)?

kabira_namit · November 3, 2019, 6:31pm

Hi everyone,

Here’s a simple yes/no question that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. Is it possible to calculate the start and end time per page if the survey is being filled in Enketo (pages theme) (in Chrome or Firefox)? Or is it only possible if we use the KoBoToolbox app?

Hi @kabira_namit,

Would you mind looking at the discussion that has been discussed earlier, it should solve your issue:

GOOD DAY!

Hi,

Sorry - quick question, would it be possible to use the calculate function to do so? Rather than having our enumerators select the start and end times? For example, we are interested in learning how long enumerators spend on the ‘consent’ page.

Now() at the beginning and at the end with Enketo pages theme doesn’t seem to work.

Best,
K.

Hi @kabira_namit,

Welcome back to the community! If that is what you require, you could do it as outlined in the image shown below:

In the survey tab of your xlsform:
