    Добрий день, підкажіть, будь ласка, чи можливо встановити часовий ліміт на проходження форми?

    Та як змінювати шрифт та його розмір в запитаннях та заголовках?

    Hi monotesthr,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, our Ukrainian Support agents are busy helping other Jotform users at the moment. I'll try to assist you in English using Google Translate, but you can reply in whichever language you feel comfortable using. Or, if you'd prefer to receive support in Ukrainian, let us know and we can have them do that. But, keep in mind that you'd have to wait until they're available again.

    Now, let me help you with your question. Regarding your first question, do you want to be able to disable the form after a certain period of time? If yes, it is easy to achieve, let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
    2. Under Form Settings, open the drop-down menu and click on Disable on a specific date.
    3. Finally, configure the Date, the Time in which the form should get disabled and the Warning message to display

    Once the form will be disabled, if a customer will try to open it, this will be displayed:

    If you want to make the form available only during certain hours of the day, doing that is also possible. We have a guide here that will explain how to do that.

    As for your other question, to avoid confusion, I've moved that to a new thread. You can check that out here.

    Give it a try and reach out again if you have any other questions.

    Я уточнювала чи можна встановити часовий ліміт на проходження тесту для кожного кандидата, наприклад 40 хвилин, а далі тест автоматично закривається.

    Hi monotesthr,

    Thanks for getting back to us. You can set a timer for your form that upon loading of the form, it will run a countdown such as ticking 40 minutes and then what will happen after is that the submit button will hide. Here are the steps how:

    1. Edit your form and add a widget called Timer

      Note: On the widget's settings you have the option to show the timer or hide it

    2. Next, add a condition that if the timer reaches a value greater than 39:59, hide the submit button:

    After this, once the timer reaches 40:00 and above, it will then prevent users from submitting the form.

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