CREATING GOOGLE FORMS

OBJECTIVE:

Upon successful completion of this practical students will be able to create and manage google
forms.

EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED:

 Computer
 Internet connection
 Web browser

WHAT ARE THE GOOGLE FORMS?

Google Forms is a free survey tool that’s part of G Suite. The other main services included in the cloud-
based suite are Sheets (Excel), Docs (Word), and Slides (PowerPoint).

Google Forms lets you collect information from people via personalized quizzes or surveys. You can then
connect the info to a spreadsheet on Sheets to automatically record the answers. The spreadsheet then
populates with the responses from the quiz or survey in real-time. This makes Google Forms one of the
easiest ways to save data directly into a spreadsheet.

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR A GOOGLE ACCOUNT

Before you can use Google Forms, you must sign up for a Google (an @gmail) account. If do not have
then create your account and then proceed with this manual.

HOW TO CREATE A BLANK FORM

1
  Head over to the Google Forms homepage and place the cursor on the multicolored plus sign (+)
in the bottom-right corner.

 The plus sign turns into a purple pencil icon; click it to create a new form.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR FORM

Google Forms lets you customize the theme and help it stand out by adding an image, color, and font
style.

 Click the artist’s palette at the top of the screen. From here, you can choose a header image from
one of the many stock photos provided (or upload one of your own), the primary color of the
form, the background color, and font style.

2
  After you customize your form, close the theme options to return to your survey.

HOW TO CHOOSE QUESTION TYPES

When you create a Google Form, you can choose the types of questions you want people to answer.
Whether you want static answers from a multiple-choice form or essay-length responses, you can create
your ideal form in a snap!

 Click the drop-down menu next to the question field.

 Then, select the type of question you want from the list.

Your choices are:

3
 i. Short Answer: Responses only require a few words.
Great for email addresses or URLs.

ii. Paragraph: Responses require long-form answers

of one or more paragraphs.

iii. Multiple Choice: People choose between a set of

options (one per question). Depending on a person’s
answer, you can also send them to a different section
of the form.

iv. Checkboxes: Responders choose one or more of a

set of options, including the “Other” option for a
short answer.

v. Drop-down: People choose their answer from a set

of options in a drop-down menu (one per question).

vi. File Upload: This allows the person to upload a file in response to a question.

vii. Linear Scale: People can rate your question on a scale that starts at 0 or 1 and ends on a whole
number from 2 to 10.

viii. Multiple Choice Grid: This creates a grid from which people can select one answer per row.

ix. Checkbox Grid: This option creates a grid from which people can select one or more answer per
row.

x. Date: Responder must choose the date as an answer to the question.

xi. Time: Responder must choose the time of day or a duration of time.

HOW TO ADD MORE QUESTIONS

 To add more questions to your form, click the plus sign (+).

4
To add another section to separate questions, click the icon that looks like two rectangles.

HOW TO COLLABORATE ON FORMS

Like all Google suite applications, Forms lets you collaborate with others. Anyone you share a unique
link with can edit the questions in your form. This makes it a lot easier to work on the same survey with a
group.

 To do this, click the three dots at the top of the page, and then click “Add Collaborators.”
 Click the three dots at the top of the page, and then click "Add Collaborators."

 Next, under the heading “Who Has Access,”

click “Change.”
 Select “On – Anyone with the link” to generate a
shareable link. Anyone with this link can then access and edit your form. Click “Save.”

5
  Now, you can copy and share the link with anyone you want to have access to your form.

HOW TO STORE RESPONSES IN GOOGLE SHEETS

Google Forms stores the answers to your Form automatically. It saves each response in the “Responses”
tab at the top of your form and updates in real-time as people answer questions.

However, if you prefer a more in-depth way to analyze responses from your form, you can generate a new
Google Sheet—or link to an existing one—to store and view answers. When viewing data stored in a
spreadsheet, you can apply many types of calculations and Google Sheets’ functions to create formulas
that manipulate your responses.

 To do this, select the “Responses” tab, and then click the green Sheets icon.

6
  Next,
click
“Create”
to
generate
a new
spreadsheet to store all your answers.

Each spreadsheet contains all responses, along with a timestamp of when the survey was completed.

HOW TO SHARE YOUR FORM

After you have completed creating a form, it’s time to send it out and get some responses. You can share
the form via email, a direct link, on your social media account, or you can embed it into your website.

 To get sharing, open the form you want to share, and then click “Send.”

7
Choose how you want to share your form from the options at the top of the pane. From left to right, your
choices are email, direct link, an embedded link for your website, Facebook, and Twitter.
