With the Page Turner element, participants interact with a magazine-like layout, while the system tracks the time they spent on each page. The Page Turner element utilizes a number form and must contain multiple pages (i.e., rows). It is compatible with desktop and tablet devices but is incompatible with smartphones and feature phones. It does not utilize Flash.
1: Adding a Page Turner Element
Note: You can set the "Show" filter to display only elements that are compatible or optimized for the devices allowed for your project. See Project Settings Summary to learn how to verify your project settings.
To add a Page Turner element via the Survey Editor, first click the "+ Element" button to add a new survey element. Then click "Stimulus" under Question Types and select the "Page Turner" element. Then click "Add".
Once you have added the Page Turner element, enter your desired question text, instructions, and response options.
Click "Add Pages" to add the pages to be used for the element display. Then click into the product field and click the image icon in the Rich Text Editor (RTE) to add images.
See Adding and Managing Images to learn about adding images.
Here are a few tips for adding images to the Page Turner element:
- All images should be the same size, and the ratio of the images should match the ratio set in the element's style settings. If the ratios are off, the image may look distorted.
- Images should be large enough to read the text when a participants zooms in (e.g., 1188px (height) by 918px (width).
- Images should be compressed as much as possible for the web while maintaining a good resolution (e.g., 72px / inch).
1.1: Adding Images
Select the image(s) you want to insert in the image manager. Then click "Insert Image(s)".
Each image must be added on a new line, so click "Enter" and repeat the process until all of the images have been added with each on a new line.
