How to set or update the form status

Learn how to archive (hide) a form or make it live.

Updated over a week ago

There are three form statuses on the web console:

  • Live: If a form status is Live, the form can be seen in a post on the app or via the Forms tab.

  • Expired: Once an expiry date has been set for a form, it will be automatically hidden from the Forms tab of the app when the expiry date is reached.

  • Archived: If a form is archived, it will not be available or displayed on the Forms tab of the app.

  • When a user creates and saves a form, the default initial status Live. The status can only be updated after the form has been saved with the default Live status.

Follow the below steps to learn how to:

Change a form status to Archived

Step 1

  • Navigate to the forms list by clicking on the Forms menu item on the left-hand side of the web console.

  • From here, select the form for which you wish to change to the Archived status.

    • You can also create and save a new form at this point.

  • Clicking on an existing form in the forms list allows the user to edit that form.

Step 2

  • Once in editing mode, navigate to the top right-hand corner of the page and click on the Archive form button.

Step 3

  • A popup window will appear with the following text:

    • If you proceed, invitees will no longer be able to make submissions and the form will be archived.

    • Click on Archive form to continue.

  • Once archived, the form can be found by clicking on the Archived tab at the top left-hand corner of the Forms page on the web console.

    • A list of all archived forms will appear on the screen once the Archived tab is selected.

Note: Archiving a form only hides it from the app; it is still be accessible to admin via the web console Forms page.

Restore a form to Live status

Step 1

  • Navigate to the forms list by clicking on the Forms menu item on the left-hand side of the web console.

  • From here, click on the Archived tab at the top left-hand corner of the Forms page.

  • Select the form for which you would like to change the status to Live.

    • Select the form by clicking on it.

Step 2

  • When the Forms page is open, it is in edit mode.

  • Navigate to the top right-hand corner of the page and click on the Restore form button.

  • This will make the form live again.

Note: A form that is set to Live will only be visible to the group that the form is shared with.
