Enable and Disable Form at a certain date and time

More of a suggestion. An 'Enable form at date/time" should be added to the Enable/Disable settings. I work at a local food pantry and we always enable our form at 8 am on the specified days we are open. It would be nice to have a setting I can set ahead of time so I don't have to set an alarm to tell me when to log on and enable it. I love the disable functions as we use the "disable at a certain submission limit" regularly.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, it's not possible to automatically enable the form on a specific date or time. As a workaround, you can hide all your fields using Conditional logic before the date or time you want your form to be enabled and display a custom message to the form. Let me show you how:

Add a Date Picker and Time elements to your form, and set the default date and time to Current under the Options tab.

Next, if you want to add a custom message to your form to let your users know that your form will be active or start on a specific date, then you can add a Heading or Paragraph element to your form and set it as hidden and just show it when the form is not available.

Now, we will use the Show/Hide conditions, to hide the fields except for the heading element, when the time is not equal to the time you wish to enable your form. Here's how:

• In the Form Builder, on the orange navigation bar, click Settings.
• On the left panel, select Conditions.
• Click the Show/Hide Field option.
• Follow this condition below:
• Then click Save.

Here's a screencast of the result applying before and after condition from my current time to display the result:

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Excellent, thanks for the great tip!
