In this guide, we will explain how to use the “Scheduled Form Lock” field to automatically lock a Web Form/Online Survey for a specific date and time period.
For example, if you schedule a form to be locked from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, users will see a custom message instead of the form during this period. Once the scheduled lock period ends, the form will automatically become available again.
1. Initial Setup:
- Drag and drop a “Scheduled Form Lock” field to your form.
2. Configure the “Scheduled Form Lock” Field:
- Click the pencil icon of the “Scheduled Form Lock” field.
- Lock Start Date & Time: Select the date and time when the form should become locked.
- Lock End Date & Time: Select the date and time when the form should become available again.
- Time Zone Offset(Optional): Configure the appropriate time zone offset if required.
- Locked Message: Enter the message you want users to see while the form is locked.
- Logo URL (Optional): Add a logo URL to display your branding on the locked form screen.
3. Create a Web Form/Online Survey Link:
- Once you have configured the Scheduled Form Lock field, create a Web Form/Online Survey link to access your form.
- Please follow the guide below on how to create a Web Form/Online Survey connection for Formyoula Form: https://guides.formyoula.com/public-guides/web-formonline-survey
4. Test The Form:
- Open the online form using the generated link.
- Access the form before the scheduled lock period and verify that it is available.
- Open or refresh the online form during the scheduled lock period.
- Verify that the form is locked and displays the configured message.
This allows you to control when users can access your online form.
