perlQ provides a way in which you can set up surveys with specific starting and ending dates. If you are not using starting and ending dates, you must manually activate and de-activate the survey when you wish for it to be available or taken down. The starting and ending dates allow you to activate the survey and have perlQ determine whether the user is allowed to access it based on the time. In this way, you don't have to be around at midnight if you wish to expire the survey at the end of a day.

Starting Date - By setting these fields to a valid date and time, perlQ will not allow anyone to fill out the survey before that specific time.

Ending Date - By setting these fields to a valid date and time, perlQ will not allow anyone to fill out the survey after that specific time.

You do not have to fill in both of the fields to use one of the functions. For example, if you wish to manually activate the survey, but have a pre-defined end time, you only have to set the Ending Date.
