Act-On Forms are public web pages and can be accessed by visitors at any time. However, you may want to expire your forms or cap submissions when using forms to register sign-ups for time- or capacity-limited events, including webinars and trade shows. In Act-On's Forms Composer, you can easily set a form expiration date and limit how many visitors can submit your form.
