How to Set Survey Availability

The survey availability setting is a basic timer setting. This setting enables you to set an expiration date for your surveys.  Once the expiration date passes, the survey is no longer visible to survey takers. This feature can be used for relevant surveys for certain periods. This setting also ensures that a new timer can be set for the same survey if a survey becomes relevant again.

Setting survey availability is beneficial in a

• Review survey regarding an event

Here's How You Can Use the Survey Availability Feature

Step 1: Go to a survey's Settings >> Advanced. There, you'll see the Survey Availability setting. You can set it at Always or Custom depending on whether you want the survey to be available all the time or for a limited time. In case you select Custom, you can further set the Start Date, Expiry Date, Start Time, and the Expiry Time.

Step 2: Furthermore, on choosing Custom, you can create a customized message which will tell your users that the survey is no longer available if they try to access it. To create a customized message, click Customize Expired Message.

Your users will see this message if they'll try to access the survey after it has expired.
