# Form Settings - Edit Form

Edit Form settings control a form's name, status, access, visibility, registration limits, and related submission behavior. Some settings appear only for specific form scopes, event forms, or page construction widgets.

On a form's overview page, select **Edit** to open the **Edit Form** settings.

## Details tab

#### Page title

Displays the form name on the public registration page.

#### Internal name

Replaces the page title in internal form lists. The internal name does not appear on the public registration page.

#### Folder

Places the form in an existing folder. Select **Other** to create a folder.

#### Realm

Limits which users can access the form administratively.

#### Status

The status determines whether the form URL is available.

- **Confirmed/Active**: Makes the form URL available.
- **Tentative**: Keeps the form URL unavailable. New forms use this status by default.
- **Cancelled**: Retires the form and makes the form URL unavailable.
- **Declined**: Marks the form as declined and makes the form URL unavailable.

#### Deadline

Prevents external access to the form or event registration page after the specified date and time.

#### Activation date and time

Prevents registrants from submitting an active form, event, or slot until a specified date and time, even when the form is published externally.

If no activation date and time is provided, registrants with access to the URL can submit the form as soon as the status is set to *Confirmed/Active*.

If you enter an activation date, a text field appears. Enter an optional message that appears before the activation date.

#### Time zone

Uses the location information on the **Location** tab to determine the time zone for the form or event.

#### User

Associates a user with the form or event. This setting defaults to the user who created the form.

#### Admin notify email

Sends an email notification after a registration is submitted. For events, the email set on the event takes priority over the email set on the template.

#### Related records

Attaches selected dataset records to the form or event. Use this setting when a small number of dataset records should be associated with the registration.

## Registration settings tab

#### Registrant limit

Limits the number of registrations. If an event template has a registrant limit, events using that template honor the template limit unless the individual event has a different limit.

#### Include guests

Determines whether guest registrations count toward the registrant limit.

- **Inherit from template**
- **Include guests in registrant limit**
- **Do not include guests in registrant limit**

#### Waitlist transfer

Automatically transfers the earliest waitlist registrant, and any guests, from the waitlist to registered status when enough space becomes available. This setting is available only on event forms.

#### Custom limit message

Displays a custom message when registration is no longer available.

#### Privacy

Prevents the form from appearing on public landing pages.

#### Timeline

Hides form registrations from the registrant's timeline.

This setting operates independently of realms or other permissions. Registrations do not appear on the registrant's timeline to ***anyone***.

> [!NOTE]
> 💡 Tip
> 
> Select this setting for forms that collect sensitive information that should not appear on the record timeline. Examples might include sensitive reports, survey data, or appointment notes.
