Form Settings

Form settings control how your form behaves beyond its visual design and fields. Configure submission limits, schedule open/close windows, set data retention policies, and customize the closed-form experience.

When the form is closed (manually or by reaching a limit), visitors see a customizable message:

SettingDefault
Heading"This form is no longer accepting responses"
Message"Thank you for your interest. The form is currently closed."

Scheduling

Open and close your form automatically:

For event registrations, set a max submission limit equal to your capacity. Combine with scheduling to automatically open registration at a specific time and close when seats fill up or the deadline passes.
