Need to set a time limit for your online tests or ensure all applications close at the exact same moment? In this tutorial, we introduce the brand-new Countdown feature from PlatoForms! Perfect for teachers running timed quizzes, event organizers managing registrations, or anyone who needs to add a sense of urgency to their forms. Learn how to add a personal countdown for each user or a shared deadline for everyone in just a few simple steps.

Detailed Summary:
PlatoForms’ Countdown feature is a powerful tool for managing time-sensitive submissions. This video walks you through everything you need to know to get started, from adding the timer to customizing its behavior.

We cover two main start types:
• Duration from open: Ideal for timed exams, this option starts the timer the moment a user opens the form. If you set a 60-minute limit, each student gets exactly one hour to complete their test, ensuring fairness.

• Fixed deadline: Perfect for assignments or applications with a strict cutoff. Set a specific date and time (e.g., Friday at 5 PM), and the form will close to all submissions after that point, regardless of when the user started.

Additionally, you'll learn how to customize the timer's appearance with different display modes (Countdown, Clock, Reminder only, or Hidden), choose its placement on the page, and select a style that matches your form's design. We also show you how to set up automated reminders to give users a heads-up before time runs out and how to write a custom message that appears when the deadline is reached.
