Where to find these settings
Open the Form Settings dialog (gear icon in the editor toolbar) and select the Access & Limits tab.
Limit responses
Automatically close the form after a set number of submissions.
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|
| Limit responses | Toggle | Turn on to cap the total number of submissions. |
| Maximum responses | Number | The submission limit. Default: 100. The current response count is displayed next to this field so you can see how close you are to the cap. |
| Customize closed message | Textarea | The message respondents see when the form has reached its limit. Default: “This form is no longer accepting responses.” |
Open on date
Schedule the form to start accepting responses at a specific date and time.
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|
| Open on date | Toggle + date-time picker | Set a date and time when the form becomes available. |
| Customize not-yet-open message | Textarea | The message shown before the open date. Default: “This form is not yet open for submissions.” |
Use this for event registration forms, seasonal intake forms, or anything that should go live at a specific time.
Close on date
Schedule the form to stop accepting responses after a specific date and time.
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|
| Close on date | Toggle + date-time picker | Set a deadline after which the form closes. |
| Customize closed message | Textarea | The message shown after the close date passes. |
Prevent duplicate submissions
Stop the same person from submitting the form more than once.
| Setting | Type | Description |
|---|
| Prevent duplicate submissions | Toggle | Block repeat submissions from the same respondent. |
| Customize duplicate message | Textarea | The message shown when a duplicate is detected. Default: “You’ve already submitted this form.” |
Combining limits
You can enable multiple limits at once. For example, you could:
- Set an open date of March 1
- Set a close date of March 31
- Limit responses to 500
- Prevent duplicate submissions
The form enforces all active limits. The first condition that blocks a submission determines which message the respondent sees.
