Measure amount of time it takes to complete protocol

Users
#1

Hey commcare users, another question…

Is it possible to include the xform the amount of time it took to
complete the xform? The simplest way would be to record the time when
the xform was opened and record it again when the xform was completed.
This would of course be different from the time when the form was
submitted. Or, if this data is already available, do I need to do some
tricky xml to get at it?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
I think that already exists, in most of the xforms that I build, I include;-

My guess is that, this records the time when the xform is launched (opened) and the time it is completed before sending it.

Happy to receive correction is this is not what these does! Gayo

this is already standard in the block, via the timestart and timeend
fields.

That’s right. The one thing I would like to add is that while some forms
have been using

we now advocate the use of lowercase names:

as laid out in the OpenRosa standard for meta blocks:

thanks! tested it out and is working perfectly.

now, is it possible to get a timestamp when a question is completed? for
example, to get the timestamp of when i click on the “Next” or “OK” button?

Jon,

That’s been pretty high on the list of prospective features for a long time.
Do you want to be able to get timestamps only for triggers (IE: You
capture the time the OK button was pressed) or do you want to be able to get
timestamps for every question answered?

Hi CommCare users,

I’m reviving this old thread to see if it was ever answered or if this
feature was ever added: is it possible to get timestamps for “triggers”
(i.e., when a button is pressed, take a timestamp)? Open to hackier ways of
doing this also.

Sarah,

This is still something that is on our roadmap, but hasn’t found an
implementation yet.

I will keep you posted here regarding any progress on capturing timestamps
for question timing.

Hi Sarah,

I don’t believe that a timestamp trigger feature has been implemented in
CommCare yet. Have you made this suggestion via our idea forum at
http://dimagi.uservoice.com/ ? If you are able to describe how you would
best benefit from this feature, perhaps we can get momentum behind the idea
to have it implemented.

Thanks,

Hi Rachael!

We’ve made some progress on this, it would be helpful for us to chat a bit
about your use case. I’ll email you off the thread.

Hi all,

I’m reviving this again a year later! Has this been implemented yet?

If not, I’m happy to describe how it is of use to our organization (and
likely many others) on the idea forum.

Thanks,

Rachael

Hi Sarah,

I don’t believe that a timestamp trigger feature has been implemented in
CommCare yet. Have you made this suggestion via our idea forum at
http://dimagi.uservoice.com/ ? If you are able to describe how you would
best benefit from this feature, perhaps we can get momentum behind the idea
to have it implemented.

Thanks,

Hello, two years later,

Just wondering if this feature is anywhere closer to being available.
This is something that is an ongoing need in my organization and not widely
available with other platforms.

Thanks!

Sarah,

This is still something that is on our roadmap, but hasn’t found an
implementation yet.

I will keep you posted here regarding any progress on capturing
timestamps for question timing.

Hi CommCare users,

I’m reviving this old thread to see if it was ever answered or if this
feature was ever added: is it possible to get timestamps for “triggers”
(i.e., when a button is pressed, take a timestamp)? Open to hackier ways of
doing this also.

Thanks,

Jon,

That’s been pretty high on the list of prospective features for a
long time. Do you want to be able to get timestamps only for triggers
(IE: You capture the time the OK button was pressed) or do you want to be
able to get timestamps for every question answered?

thanks! tested it out and is working perfectly.

now, is it possible to get a timestamp when a question is
completed? for example, to get the timestamp of when i click on the "Next"
or “OK” button?

Hi Jon,

I think that already exists, in most of the xforms that I build,
I include;-

My guess is that, this records the time when the xform is launched (opened) and the time it is completed before sending it.

Happy to receive correction is this is not what these does! Gayo

Subject: Measure amount of time it takes to complete protocol

Hey commcare users, another question…

Is it possible to include the xform the amount of time it took to
complete the xform? The simplest way would be to record the time
when
the xform was opened and record it again when the xform was
completed.
This would of course be different from the time when the form was
submitted. Or, if this data is already available, do I need to do
some
tricky xml to get at it?

Thanks,
Jon

Hi clayton?
Can I get a time stamp for the first time a question was answered

#16

Hi!

I think it is currently possible to do this on the Android platform using the ‘now()’ function, although it is somewhat limited by the declarative nature of XForms, so there may be edge cases where it doesn’t work.

There’s a forum thread discussing the topic and an implementation here: https://forum.dimagi.com/t/once-function-from-odk-in-commcare/7913/2

Let me know if you have any questions or issues implementing this approach.
