How to set availability and expiry dates and time for online forms
Question
I’m creating an online exam form that I need to send to my students. Is there a way I can set a timer for these forms?
Answer
Absolutely! You can control when your forms are available and when they expire. Here’s how:
Set a timer for the form
-
Go to the Dashboard and select your desired form.
-
Click the Settings (gear) button at the top right of the form, then click Invitation.
-
Fill in the required information in the Invitation panel.
For detailed instructions, check the Set your invitation section in the User Documentation.
-
After configuring your invitation info, scroll down to the time and date selector.
-
Specify your preferred time and date for form availability and expiration.
The date and time are in your time zone, which you can adjust in your profile settings.
-
(Optional) Set two redirect links: one for when the form is not yet available to fill, and another for when the form has expired.
These redirect links ensure that when a respondent tries to access the form before the available time or after the expiration date and time, they will be automatically directed to the specified website that you’ve provided in the redirect links input box.
