Restricting Survey Availability


Is there a way to restrict a survey's availability by setting a start/end date and time? We have a need to place boundaries on when a survey can be answered. For example, setting the surveys to open at 9:00 am Monday (Aug 29) and close at noon on Friday (Nov 2). Manually activating and closing a survey is not ideal as someone will forget to turn the survey off to stop data collection.

@Kaiiak Don't make the same mistake I did when using the survey expiration option! I used this on a survey that I open and close regularly but forgot to change the expiration date when I mailed the survey out again! :s It was an easy mistake to fix but my inbox was flooded with complaints!
