Google Forms is an adaptable tool provided by Google. It is free and enables you to gather information effortlessly and effectively. Whether you require a basic form to collect email addresses or are interested in conducting a customer survey, Google Forms can assist you. In this blog post, we will be discussing the fundamentals of creating a Google Form.
Step 1: Sign in to Google Drive
To use Google Forms, you first need to sign in to Google. Open your web browser and go to drive.google.com, then sign in with your Google account.
Step 2: Create a New Form
Once you’re signed in, go to the upper left side of the screen and click on the “+ New” button. A dropdown menu will appear. Hover over ‘More’, then click on ‘Google Forms’.
Step 3: Design Your Form
This is where you get to decide what information you want to collect and how you want to collect it.
Enter a title for your form in the top box. Below that, there’s a box where you can provide a description of your form. This is optional, but it can be helpful to give your respondents some context about what they’re filling out.
To add a question, click on the ‘+ Add question’ button on the toolbar to the right. A new box will appear where you can enter your question and choose what type of answer you want to accept (multiple choice, short answer, etc.). You can add as many questions as you need.
Step 4: Customize Your Form
Google Forms also allows you to customize the appearance of your form. Click on the palette icon in the top right to change the color scheme, or click on the image icon to add a custom header.
Step 5: Send Your Form
Once you’re happy with your form, it’s time to send it out. Click on the ‘Send’ button in the top right corner. A pop-up window will appear where you can choose to send the form via email, get a shareable link, or embed the form on your website.
