E.g. dd/mm/yyyy = 28/02/2010

- Maximum number of results – that is to count the maximum number of forms submitted
- Maximum respondent – that is to count the maximum number of unique respondents who submit the form. each person can submit more than one form.
You can set the value to zero (0) for unlimited. Anytime one of the quota is met, the form will be closed and moved to the archived form folder.
Maximum number of results from each PC – this setting is to limit the maximum number of responses allowed per IP address.
The child production dialog is default to switch off. If you switch on, then you can customize the policy content and the email address to receive the parents’ consents. When a form with CPD enabled is loaded, it will show the policy content and ask the parents to allow the minor to use the form.
