Google Forms
Getting Started
Use the links below to find out more what you need to know in Google Forms during your first few days in Google Workspace.
You can create Google forms to collect information from internal and external contacts, using various question types. All responses will be stored within the form but can also be stored in a Google sheet for viewing or further analysis. The form can be emailed to users, or embedded on a web...
You can set the theme of a form by adding a header image, then specifying the colours and font that should be used in the form. You can use one of the default images to set your theme, or upload your own images e.g. a company logo or project banner.
When you create a form, you will be provided with one sample question which you can change as required. For each question, you can enter specific text and set the question type e.g. multiple choice or a date or time. Once the sample question has been changed, you can add any other questions...
If you have a large number of options for a multiple choice, grid, scale or tick box question, you can copy and paste existing text into the form, rather than having to retype it. Any text in a Google doc, sheet or slide, or even a non-Google file e.g. an Excel worksheet, can be copied and pasted into...
If you add certain questions in a Google Form e.g. regarding days of the week, months of the year, sizes, etc. Google will suggest the answers that you may wish to add to the form question. You can choose specific answers from the choices you are given, or choose to add all answers to the form...
You can make changes to any of the questions on a form at any time e.g. to change the question text or even the type of question. In addition, you can change the order of questions on the form and can remove a question from the form altogether...
The easiest way to circulate your form to the people you wish to complete it is by email. You can email a link to the form, or embed the form itself in the email message...
You can embed a form you have created onto any web page, by displaying the code for the form then copying it into the HTML code of the page you wish to display the form on...
All form responses are stored in the Google Form, but can be stored in a Google Sheet if you prefer, for further analysis. Once in a Google Sheet, you can use any spreadsheet features to summarise your results e.g. charts, formulas, etc...
Track individual form responses
As well as emailing your form to specific people, you can track who has responded to your form and who has yet to complete it. You can also send reminder emails to people that haven't yet completed a form, to remind them to do so as soon as possible...
