-Set the timer seconds embedded data field(s) by setting the field value in seconds at the appropriate places in the survey flow. Timer seconds is the amount of time allowed to complete a timed section of the survey. The timer secs embedded data field must be prefixed by "__js_" in the survey flow, display logic, and piping since it will be updated by the countdownTimer JS function. For example, to set the time limit to one hour:
