Google Forms-- The Best Free Forms Software?

[@jefferysullivan8923]

I was JUST asked if I could set up a Google form for a client's website and there you were (again) with the answer! Always helpful. Thanks Steve!

[@danielleleeke9066]

We are using your videos to have our team of 5 learn more about google suite. We are so thrilled we found you--clear instruction/how-to, interactive vernacular, and we learn something every time. You make it a joy to learn and have 5 new American lady fans! Thanks for doing what you do, Steve!

[@BethCosta]

I love that you have come back and revisited this topic every couple of years! Thanks as always for your clear explanations and great instruction. I LOVE your channel!

[@kurtmichaelson]

Steve, I have always enjoyed watching and learning from your videos that you produce, thank you!

[@keysandatops]

Perfect timing, Steve! I have a new job and my new boss wants me to send out a needs assessment using Google Forms. Thanks for the tutorial--very useful!

[@presidentelectarpta7327]

We use this all the time! It is also awesome at producing forms!

[@josephleopard]

Wow! I had a workshop on this in my lecture literally 2 weeks ago. I might use video this when I get to it again next year.

[@geno4search]

I find you tube instructions, well I can't say in public. But I just watched 3 of yours in a row. YOu are in the top 5% of good and decent you tubes. You don't demonstrate how you messed up, or how your kid said something you didn't like, etc. I'm on my way to start up Google Keep. Thank you

[@ThePandionknight]

I use several Google Forms at work for the finance, marketing, and vigilance departments. We’ve recently added authorisation via different multi-level authenticators (people), it even keeps the sender up to date on the status of their request.

Amazing video! Eye-opening potential here. I just went and filled in your survey. In the midst of this pandemic, as someone in education, this is an invaluable tool. Thanks for sharing once again! Be safe.

[@dottotech]

Thanks for sharing!

[@stephenwilliams5658]

Fantastic! I needed something like this for a non-profit organization that I work with and it fills the bill. Keep them coming.

[@l.rod2827]

I just created a form with Google Forms for my website and your video description is exactly the way it was setup and how it worked. I'm going to try this questioner to gather my data and see how well it works.

[@drwride]

Thanks Steve! Very helpful. Your Google apps series is outstanding.

[@rosemountfarms2897]

I have been using Google Forms for years and they are so useful for many applications. I still need to learn more about Google sheets, and how to extract the information to print my results but I will. Thanks so much

[@PatHiggins-Mayo]

[@tuechild]

[@franci-uz]

Hi! Great video. Thanks, really helpful. How can I change the sender from the gmail login address to any kind of address? Any options?

[@AI-xe5jr]

Sir I absolutely love your energy. And you conveyed the information in the video clearly and precisely.

[@simonjagassar]

Love your videos, they are very informative and helpful. Can you do a video on form approvals add on for google forms. I am trying to find a simplified invoice approval process without too many emails back and forth.

[@sandrageitz7117]

I love you!! Thank you. This video brought me so much ease and gave me confidence to be able to deal with these things on my own. So simple, love it!!!

[@jillwhiting8839]

Thank you so much for sharing the information on google forms

[@SandraArg23]

Thanks Steve - good video. I have a question please ... any way that you can create multiple forms/questions on a form by importing data from say a spreadsheet maybe? I have to make a load of these and I already have the source info in spreadsheet form. Thanks!

[@eksproductions8720]

Thank you Steve. You're a treasure

[@billgross3579]

Thanks, Steve! The Google form application I'm going to try is for logging my weight machine workouts at the gym.

[@TheElevenBravo]

Thank you so much for your insights! You do it with such an amazing and pleasant way! Your articulation, inflection are second to none! Keep up the great work! God bless!

[@salasart]

[@pageclark1110]

Steve, Thank you for sharing! Your videos are informative.

[@EastLancashireJohn]

Thanks Steve, you have helped me to see its usefulness to me and other teachers and researchers

[@vmailtk5]

You did, especially the embed part, but would be nice to customise the theme from the webiste, I'm gussing it wont be possible because of CORS

[@rodgill100]

Very useful, thanks Steve,

[@fidelischibuezeekweh3794]

Sir,this info is totally wonderful

[@TheCalgaryPainter]

Thanks Steve. I need to really explore this in depth. I want to add a 'help wanted' form to my website. Long time fan since your TV days. #TheCalgaryPainter

[@liamartin6280]

Hi! We use Google Forms to collect info from market research interviews...but we experienced a "limit" on the words that can be entered in a Paragraph type of question. Do you know if this limitation still exists? Because when an interviewee is talking, and we're typing along all of their valuable feedback into the Paragraph answer area...we don't want to be cut off at a limit. Thanks for your valuable knowledge on this!

[@AbbaStudios]

This was very useful an eye opening, since I didn’t know this existed. Thanks

[@AbbaStudios]

I made use of this right away. It works great. This was not in my Apps Grid Menu as it was in yours. How do I add it?

[@dianacarwithen6987]

Awesome! The only thing that is missing is you can't add an email list to the email "to" area. You have to type in each address. I wish it would bring up my google contacts and allow me to choose from my contact lists.

[@peter_castle]

awesome video! Very good exposition.

[@TheBlfried]

Steve, thanks for the informative video. Do the form recipients need to have Google accounts in order to respond?

[@dottotech]

Nope, browser based

[@IstanbulDomains]

Hi all, i could not publish my form on web. I mean after i share the link to someone else and he clicks on the link, he comes the form page but it asks to login! What if he does not have a gmail account? And i watched the videos and read the documents about settings or so on but nothing changed. My account is an individual gmail account. Thanks for your response.

[@avinashshrivastava3796]

very useful information, Can we capture mobile's GPS location while filling the form in Google Forms?

[@DavidElliottLewis]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@63MacGuy]

GREAT VIDEO. Is there a way that i can be alerted when someone has summited their form.

[@ADELONSI]

I'd like to put the text (right to left) but i can't , so could advise me what to do to make the FORM text on the right for ARABIC form?

Very helpful information!!

[@hevenliyamusic]

I have a question regarding using Google forms because I have tried it once and I faced a problem after entering the data. The problems I faced and the question I want to refer from you as follow.................... 1. Can I edit the data which I have already entered and saved in the Google forms. 2. As a team when we entered the data some of us used entering the number as follow(eg:- 1, 01, 1., 01.) Google forms shows these as separate data. Please let any one help me to edit this data

[@45von]

Steve I see you are keeping trim.... AND still making helpful Google clips while you are storming the castle .... Thanks

[@dottotech]

Working on it!

[@deadlyxeno]

How to copy charts with data on it, especially for check boxes? Thank you. Cause bars are blank when copied.

[@joebenga787]

I use it to track receipts. I included an upload so I can take a picture of the receipt and I have the data and image in one place.

[@olvi007]

That's a great idea. Thanks.

[@tomdoohan4232]

If I have a BAA with G suite, is the form HIPPA compliant if I email it and client responds?

[@assafsharon7505]

JUST WANNA SAY - BIG THANK YOU!! (:

[@marcelwolters8315]

Use this all the time, Add extra plug-in and you can create forms beyond most payed solutions. File upload however only works in gsuite.

[@richardwassink2464]

Hello Steve, I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I am trying to create a form with drop down questions that will pull information from my sheets. I also want be able to add new answers in the same field constantly updating the drop down after each entry. Is this possible? Love your content, Thank you for your time. Rich

[@neebomar]

Hi Steve, do you know if you have to change the embedded link of the form if you make edits to the form after you upload it?

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

Hey Steve, great topic and presentation. I've known about Google Forms for several years and have toyed with the concept, but never really built anything of consequence. Forms is a great little app and can be very useful. I have Google Sheet Workbook consisting of 1850+ lines, 22 columns, and about 20 or so sheets that I've been populating for about a year and a half and would love to do the work thru a form. Of course I don't want to rebuild the sheet from scratch, that would be very counter productive. My other option would be to convert the Workbook to a database of some sort like MS Access, which I have very minimal experience with, and my time is running short for another huge learning curve. I'm pretty sure Google hasn't yet released a database application for use with Google Apps. If it has and would work in my case, I stand corrected and would love to hear about it. My question is, can a form be 'reverse engineered' from an existing spreadsheet?

[@dottotech]

You can create a form and assign the results to a existing Sheet,, I am not sure how that would work for you but it is worth checking out. Also you can always ask for help here, I use it a lot! productforums.google.com/forum/

[@TheBearDenPhotography]

Thanks Steve. I'll have a look at trying that. And yes, the Google Forums are a good resource. I've used them in the past and find them a real help.

[@rajneeshk.4607]

It is just mind blowing. Thanks ! but I want to collect data on 'last five years budget of an institute" which is difficult through this tool' can you suggest how I can do that in Google forms ?

[@andresteson1438]

Dotto, hi! Maybe you can help me out. I am looking for an online Form which has a calendar booking option integrated with Outlook. I have seen many videos and many many software to no avail.

[@RCdiy]

What do you use/recommend for collecting emails and managing them? MailChimp?

[@dottotech]

It is a good solution, but I don't recommend any soluiton, they all have shortcomings.

[@regenwealth]

Hey, thanks for this. I've been looking fur a way to integrate this to some type of database that runs formulas (free perhaps?). Been doing this in excel but would love a little direction here for something a little more, you know, online!

[@LawrieMann]

I use it personally to enter and track receipts.

I noticed that at the end of one of my text forms there is an eye crossed out, and an email address on the right side. Not shared in parenthesis and switch Account in blue text. Below is Required in red with an asterisk. Why does this appear in my Google form in Preview? Is this so that Google can collect/save information about my Google form? Great video

I got some problems using the Google Form these days. I made a Google Form a month ago for students to fill in. It worked perfectly fine. Then I used 'Make a copy" function to create a new form . However, my students couldn't open the form on their iPads. Then I tried it on PC. It worked. Is the problem related to tablets or the way I set up the form?

[@ralphwoodard609]

Good one Steve. I found it very easy to use and I may think about doing something like that to get member input from our computer club. Thanks

[@findwahab]

Hi Technical expert, as you are aware of Google form has single page form option, can we have booklet form option, so that on left side we paste a passage and on right side we give question to reply it. In addition i need 3 tabs as i have 3 section. can you help me in doing so.

[@FiscalRangersFlorida]

Good overview of Forms. It is really a forms based, flat file database. I grew up in work with Lotus Notes, SQL, Ashton Tate's dBase (I worked there during their last year), Lotus Approach and Microsoft Access. Any comments about building a relational database for more complex data?

[@dottotech]

I would not be surprised if an option does not come into the marketplace to connect Sheets to a relational DB, but I am not sure how it would work. Might be an opportunity.

[@democratsofswriverside1884]

Thank you. I've been looking for a way to collect contact information for our local organization. This does the trick. Question: Can I work it in reverse? In other words, make a query form? Have a form where I type in a last name and the other boxes would populate by pulling the information from the spreadsheet? - g. tort (PS You are my goto guru!)

Hi. I have a problem using google forms. When I paste the HTML code into my web page Thai language appears in the space for the answers. The Thai translation means 'This is a required field' I've tried many things like clearing cache making sure of English language default etc. Any ideas?

[@seancox3049]

Thanks Steve! Quick question: i tested it with a new client, asking basic demo info, and a quick checklist of concerns. She sent it back, but I can't find it--i want to put it in her file and get rid of paper forms. Also, when i tested this myself, i sent it back from another email, and again, I can't find it. Lol where are these forms going?

[@dottotech]

Should be saved to a google sheet, check your google drive folder

Hi Steve ^_^ You are proving to be very popular in my classroom in New Zealand! We love watching your videos. I have a question from a teacher point of view... Is there any possible way to get the link for one particular student response on a quiz/assessment form setup? For example, if I were getting an assessment moderated and wanted the moderator to be able to view only one student response, is that possible? Thanks so much!

[@dottotech]

I think so, Ask for the email address in the sharing panel. I bet that doe the trick..

[@ohioproducer]

Can I customize the background so it represents my company?

[@kilnamanaghafcfootballclub8408]

Anyway to embed a payment option (Paypal, STRIPE etc) at the end of a Google form before the submit button?

[@dottotech]

Not that I know of, but you can embed a google form in a webpage that has the payment system on it.

[@kilnamanaghafcfootballclub8408]

Thanks for the reply !

Hi Steve, thanks for the video. I just clicked the link to submit my choice, but was curious if there is a way to publish the result for those who submit the answers and for those who do not answer but want to know the result? Thanks a lot.

I will post them over in the community tab!

[@civilizeddiva]

Any recommendations for a data collection form that will allow me to place date restrictions? Students submit my form to request exam appointment. For example, I ask students to submit their exam request dates at least 5 business days in advance. Every semester I have students who request exam dates either the same day [ugh!] or within the next day or two. I need an option that says, ok, today is January 23, 2019 , so the earliest request date the form will *accept* is January 28, 2019.
