This article will guide you through the process of Scheduling and Restricting Forms in Paymattic. ## Scheduling & Restricting Form Submissions # To learn how to schedule forms and restrict/limit the amount of form submissions/entries, follow the steps with the screenshots below – First, go to the **All Forms**section from the **Pymattic Navbar,**choosea**Form,**and click the **Pencil/Edit** icon to open the **Editor** page of that form. If you do not have any existing forms, read this [Create a Form from Scratch](/docs/how-to-create-a-form-from-scratch-with-paymattic/) or [Create a Form using Templates](/docs/simple-form-templates/) documentation to create one. For example, I choose an existing form to show the whole process. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/1.-Open-desired-form-7-scaled.webp) Once you open the **Editor** page, go to the **Settings** tab from the left sidebar, and you will get the **Scheduling**settingsoption to schedule or restrict form submissions. After completing the setup, click the **Save Settings**button to save all your changes. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/2.-Scheduling-option-under-General-Settings-Tab-scaled.webp) **All the settings options of Scheduling mentioned above are explained below –** ### A. Form Status # Enable this option if you want the ability to change the status of your forms to either active or inactive. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/3.-Form-Status.webp) ### B. Maximum Number of Entries # Enable this option if you want to set a number to restrict/limit the form submissions for a specific form. It will deactivate the form submissions after the set number of entries has already been submitted. You can set the limit based on submission type ( Paid, Processing, Pending, Failed, Refunded, or Abandoned) for a pre-defined time interval (Per Day, Week, Month, Year, or Total Entries). You can also put a custom message that will be shown to users when the form exceeds the maximum number of submissions. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/4.-Maximum-Number-of-Entries.webp) ### C. Form Scheduling # Enable this option if you want to specify a time when the form is active. The system will maintain the scheduling based on the server time. You can define the **Submission Starts Date** and **Submission End Date**. Put a custom message in the **Form Waiting Message** field to be displayed before the form is active. You can also set a**Form Expired Message** to be shown when the form submission time is over. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/5.-Form-Scheduling.webp) ### D. Limit by Payments # Enable this option if you want to **Limit** the number of form entries allowed for this form. The form will become inactive when that number is reached. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/6.-Limit-by-payments.webp) ### E. Login Requirement Settings # Toggle the switch to make login requirements mandatory for users to fill up the form. - **Require Login Message**: Enter a message to be displayed to users who are not logged in (shortcodes and HTML are supported). - **Form Display option when restriction is met**: Here you can set the form status when a restriction is met. You can select one of the three choices such as **hide** **the** **form**, **hide** **the** **submit** **button**, or **make** **form** **validation fail** **after** **submission**. ![](https://paymattic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/7.-Login-Requirement-Settings.webp) This is how to set Form Scheduling & Restriction Settings in Paymattic!
