Help · Building a form

Closing, limits, passwords, country and language

The rest of the Settings tab.

Closing

Close at a date and time (Irish time), or after a number of responses. The form then says it's closed, on the link and on any page it's embedded in. You can reopen it any time. Under the title the form shows "Closes Fri 23:59" when a close time is set.

Password

A password on the link, for a form that shouldn't be found by anyone with the address. It's a gate, not an account: the password is kept as you typed it so you can read it back, and the person sees a page asking for it. An embedded form on another site works too.

Country and language

The form's country starts as the one you made it in (from your device's time zone) and decides how phone numbers are read, how an address is labelled and which currency an Amount uses. The language is the language of the words around your questions: buttons, hints, the address labels and every check's message, in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch or Portuguese. Your questions are in whatever language you wrote them.

Filling in answers from the link

Add ?<question id>=answer to the form's link and that question arrives filled in; each question's id is in its panel. A Hidden field's label is the parameter's name: ?ref=newsletter stores "newsletter" with every response without the person seeing it, which is how you tell where a link was shared.

Answers kept on reload

A person's unsent answers are kept in their own browser, so a closed tab or a dropped connection doesn't lose them; the form says so and offers "Start again". Files and signatures aren't kept. The thanks page clears it.
