# Response Time Validation Settings

Response time validation settings are used to control the answering time for the entire questionnaire and each individual question. These settings are typically employed in questionnaires or questions where time is a critical factor for quality control. Additionally, the duration of questionnaire responses is a crucial aspect of the respondent's experience; generally, shorter questionnaires lead to better experiences. The system provides a questionnaire response time statistics function to help users collect and analyze the duration of questionnaires, providing reference information for optimizing questionnaires.

### Maximum Response Time

Set an upper limit for the questionnaire response time and the prompt text that will appear when the limit is exceeded. Once the limit is reached, the questionnaire will be terminated.

### Minimum Response Time

Set a lower limit for the questionnaire response time and the prompt text that will appear when the limit is not met. Questionnaires with response times below the limit can submit data and be recorded in the results, but no rewards will be issued.
