24-Hour Clock

Respondents can enter times in 24-hour notation. However, please note that the AM/PM dropdown menu appears no matter what, and respondents must choose either AM or PM in order to submit the question successfully without errors.

Analyzing Results

When you view your results in the Analyze Results section, dates and times will be presented together as a single text response. You can use tags to categorize responses.

If you added multiple rows, you can click Responses to expand each row label to see which dates or times respondents entered for each textbox. You can view each respondent's full set of answers under the Individual Responses tab.
