What’s so important about changing the status of your forms? Consider this example – a client may want you to start a particular form on December 16th to use for a Christmas sale and, after the sale, pause the form until next year. Using the following methods, you can disable and enable forms whenever necessary.
There are two ways to change the status of a form. One is through the My Forms page, which is quick. Second, through the Form Settings, which provides you with additional options to disable your form conditionally.
Enabling/Disabling a Form Through My Forms
This method is simple and direct, but it disables the form instantly. If you wish to set a condition, such as disabling the form on a specific date/time, proceed to the second method.
- Select the form you intend to enable or disable on your My Forms page.
- Click More on the far right side of the selected form.
- Under the Form column, click Disable or Enable option.
Enabling/Disabling a Form Through Form Settings
If you are in the Form Builder, you can enable/disable the form through the Form Settings. Here’s how you can do that:
- In the Form Builder, go to the Settings tab.
- Under the Form Settings, click the Form Status option.
- Select Disabled from the dropdown. Set your Warning Message accordingly, and click Save.
As mentioned above, you can also select the options to disable the form conditionally. You can select from the following options:
- Disable on Specific Date
- Disable at Submission Limit
- Disable on Specific Date or at Submission Limit
Below is an example of the Disable on Specific Date or at Submission Limit:
When one of the disabled options is activated, the font color changes from green to blue.

Is there a mechanism to set an enabled and disable automation.
example: Form is automatically enabled every Friday at 2pm - 10pm. The rest of the time it is disabled.

If I disable a form, then enable it at a later date, will my WordPress site bring the form back up? In my testing, when I disabled the form, I had to delete the page in WordPress and re-add it in order in order to re-paste the embed link. It would be great if that function worked seamlessly. I look forward to your response! Thanks in advance!

Hi. It would be great to have more formatting options for the message notifying visitors that a form is closed. In particular the ability to link to a different page would be really nice.

If I disable a form because I don't want to receive new submissions, can the clients that submitted theirs before that still edit their submissions?

I need to be able to have my App users 'Enable/Disable' a form I've included in our App. Giving them this option via our employees App will save an unbelievable amount of time verses going to a computer, login in and enabling/disabling a form.

Hello. How can I activate or deactivate a form through the API?
Maybe modifying some property of the form using "PUT /form/{id}/properties" (add or edit properties of a specific form)?
If so, what property would it be?
Thank you.

Do you provide upgraded plans for free for nonprofits?
We are a small nonprofit and just started using your forms. When we archive a form, can we still see the submissions and data? What's the difference between an archived form and a disabled form? Does an archived form count towards the 5 form limit? Thank you.

Why cant i enable my forms. i have one form that has been working and after i pressed disable i cannot get it to work now. i have pressed enable several times but the form remains disabled. Why is there a pause symbol next to my enable/disable instead of the play symbol. Perhaps this gives a clue. i have tried both methods to enable but i still cannot get it to work. help please.

Nope, that was not the problem. The form was enabled the entire time.
I have figured it out, but I had to eliminate the page breaks and change the submit button back to the boilerplate.

Hi there
It does not ring a bell the distinction between ENABLED or DISABLED.
Please clarify this distinction.

In my form (ID: 71491586057464), the form status is "Enabled" but in the Form Preview I'm getting an error "Form is disabled"

Can I schedule the enabling? It is my job to start the form on time, but I won't be at my computer.

I have created a form. I have the link, but how do I make the form editable for submission. If I put my link on my website, how can I make it so that when clients click on it, they can edit the form and submit it to me
More than a year ago
It would be great to have an option to enable on a specific date, in order to allow applications or submissions during a specific time period. Then I wouldn't have to enable the form in the middle of the night!

If I disable my form (for new submissions) can my client still Edit Form if they have the link?

Regarding Jotform's integration payment mechanism for Braintree, how exactly are the form fields for month and date of card expiration formatted?
Does the month field require 2 digits (ex. 03 for March) and the year field 4 digits (ex. 2019)?
Please advise. Thank you.
More than a year ago
With this integration and the free version of Jotform, are you still limited to 10 payments per month before you need to upgrade to the paid version?
More than a year ago
What are the benefits of using Braintree over PayPal other than the $50k no-fee window? That's definitely enticing, but we would need a clear features comparison to know if it made sense to switch.
More than a year ago
Why would PayPal make another product that is better than the original PayPal? What is the catch here?? Sounds too good to be true!
