Temporal Questions (ADV)
Time Intensity
Time intensity question types are used to measure an attribute during a certain amount of time.
After panelists click the START button, the mouse pointer is needed to indicate the strength of the attribute during the time of perception. If resetable is activated in the settings, a RESET button will appear after the pre-set up time.
When Mandatory is set to Yes the panelist is forced to answer the question.
- Horizontal: Display the time intensity slider horizontally or vertically.
- Interval Time: Number of milliseconds between each measurement.
- Show Timer: Show the on screen time for the panelists.
- Timer Countdown: Enable a countdown timer. Disabling this option will show a counter.
- Max number of intervals: Maximum number of measuring intervals.
- Auto drag: Disable mouse click, the the value will be automatically selected when dragging the cursor.
- Resetable: Add a reset button after each measurement.
- Multi Sample: Enable / Disable multi sample.
- Value Left: Set up the left value.
- Value Right: Set up the right value.
- Anchor Left: Set up the label on the left side of the time intensity slider.
- Anchor Right: Set up the label on the right side of the time intensity slider.
- Marker / REF: A marker that can be placed on the line.
- Line Width: Set up a custom line width (335px default).
Extra Anchors can be added. In the advanced settings tab messages can be added to be displayed during certain times.
Time Intensity with Time Pinching
Time Intensity with Time Pinching is a mobile version of the Time Intensity questiontype, with the added ability to let panelists pinch the field on the tablets. The principle is the same, pinch the field using the touch screen with each pinch representing an interval. Before panelists start the time intensity, they will have the option to calibrate the question if this option is enabled. This has been set up due to the possible difference in hand size of the panelists.
- Calibrate: Calibrate the pinch size before the measurement begins
- Field Color: change the field color.
- Interval Time: Number of milliseconds between each measurement.
- Show Timer: Show the on screen time for the panelists.
- Timer Countdown: Enable a countdown timer. Disabling this option will show a counter.
- Max number of intervals: Maximum number of measuring intervals.
In the advanced settings tab messages can be added to be displayed during certain times.
Temporal Dominance Sensation (TDS)
A Temporal Order of Sensations (TOS) questiontype is used to determine the order of the perceived sensory attributes.
Panelists have to click the START button and select which attribute is dominant when it is perceived. Multiple attributes can be selected. Clicking the STOP button will stop the time and the question will be finished and no longer usable. The order of the selected attributes will be displayed on screen.
The question comes with pre-loaded attributes, which project managers are free to replace with their own project appropriate attributes.
Clicking the 
will display a 
icon next to the attribute description. Clicking it will delete the item. Clicking the 
icon will unlock the value field, indicated by a 
icon, where you can enter the value of the attribute. Display refers to the value which is visible to the panelist. Value refers to the actual value stored in the database.

Value refers to the actual value stored in the database.The TOS questiontype can be somewhat personalized by adding specific messages at specific times, adding the Maximum Selected amount of attributes or setting up the orientation of the question to be horizontal, vertical or a circle.
There are various layout options available.
- Increase button spacing: Increases the spacing between the buttons.
- Button Size: Adjust the size of the buttons.
Temporal Check All that Apply
A Temporal Check All That Apply (TCATA) questiontype is used to determine which sensory attribute are present at a certain time.
Panelists have to click the START button and select which attributes are dominant when they are perceived. Multiple attributes can be selected. Clicking the STOP button will stop the time and the question will be finished and no longer usable.
