It would be great if you could add a time delay ability to your redirect option. Right now it’s a little disorienting to suddenly take users to another page without a confirmation that the survey is complete. I know this can be done in javascript but would prefer a form where I could just check “delay” and then type in the number of seconds. Thanks!

Good thinking Lisa. I’ll add this to our list of future improvements!

I second that proposal! A time delay or Next button would be most helpful.

Third vote for this – i have spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how to display a confirmation “your survey has been submitted” AND get a redirect – i had to post links in a message and skip the redirect – this would seem like a very basic expected requirement – people need reassurance that their survey was indeed successfully submitted!

As a general note, you can always place a link on the thank you page so that the redirect is done manually. But thanks everyone for the feedback!

Has this feature been added? If so, I can’t find it. If not, I would like to renew the request for a delay of the redirection on the thank you page.

Hi, Colin.

Try this. Go to the Thank You/Redirect page and click ‘Add descriptive text/image’. When that page opens up, click the text option. Then click on the Source icon in the WYSIWYG editor. When the page opens up, paste in this code:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”5; url=next_page.html”>

You can change the ‘5′ to however many seconds you want the delay and, of course, put in the URL you want to redirect the respondent to. Save changes. This should work to delay the redirect.

I hope this helps,
Cheri
