**Expiry Section**
The **Expiry Section** allows you to define the validity period for the Fixed Form Template. It is configured within the **Visual Appearance Settings** panel, which appears before activating the template.
**Configuration Options**
* **Start Date** — Specifies the date from which the template becomes available for initiating signing transactions.
* **End Date** — Specifies the date after which the template is no longer available for use.
Use the calendar picker next to each field to select the appropriate dates.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://support.emsigner.com/initiate-and-sign-envelopes/using-templates/creating-and-managing-templates/configure-a-fixed-form-template/setting-template-expiry.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
