How to Close a Survey on a Certain Date

Update: 01/04/2013

Many surveys and projects have hard deadlines as to when the survey closes. Rather than logging into SurveyGizmo at 11:59 on the night before, you can use our Auto-Close Date feature.

  1. Go to the Current Project tab > Settings.
  2. Click on the Advanced tab.
  3. Input the date and time that you want the survey to close and be sure to Save your progress.

When a survey is closed, survey takers who were in the process of completing their survey will still be allowed to complete their responses so you may have a few responses that trickle in after the closure.

Note: The Auto-Close Date will only accept future dates. If you try to enter a past date, it will not save. If you are looking to close the survey immediately, please go to Distribute, and select Closed next to the Survey Status.
