Set an expiration date and time for a 123FormBuilder form

Setting an expiration date and time for a form can be useful on many occasions. Not all forms should receive submissions all the time. For example, if you are planning an event, you may need your participants to register up until a certain date. Maybe you have a deadline or limited seats.

For these situations, you have the option to change the form’s status and availability.

To change the form’s status go to the My Forms section within the form builder. Hover with your mouse cursor over your form and click the Show more icon (illustrated with three vertical dots). From the dropdown list choose Deactivate.

Once you change the form’s status and the form is no longer active, your users will see the following warning image and message:
