GUIDE TO

FORMS
GETTING STARTED WITH GOOGLE FORM
Google forms is a free Google application that allows you to quickly create and
distribute a form to gather information. The form responses are saved in a
Google spreadsheet in Google drive. 

This guide will teach you how to create google forms step by step.

To get started, visit https://docs.google.com/forms. If you aren’t signed in to


your Google account, you’ll be redirected to a login page. If you don’t have an
account, click on the ‘Create Account’ link to create an account. 

Once you’re logged in, the dashboard looks something like this:

The first option is a “Blank” button. The others are pre-made templates from
Google. For this guide, we are going to select the ‘Blank Option”, so we can
build the form together entirely from scratch. So click on “Blank”.

The next screen should look something like this:


By the time we are done, it should look like this:

So let’s get started.

The Forms editor is straightforward. Your form fills the center of the screen, with
space for a title and description, followed by form fields for questions. 
Click on the “Untitled form” to edit the title, and “form description” to edit the
description. We get something like this:

The Forms editor is straightforward. Your form fills the center of the screen, with
space for a title and description, followed by form fields for questions. 
Click on the “Untitled form” to edit the title, and “form description” to edit the
description. We get something like this:
The next form field is the “Untitled Question” field, with a radio button. Click on
it to edit. It looks like this:

Click on the “Multiple choice” dropdown, it will pop up a list of other options.
Then select “Short Answer”.

Click on “Untitled Question” to edit it. Then write “Name” (without the quotes). To
make sure people will fill in their names, go to the options on the bottom right,
and click on the “required” slider. This will ensure the name field is required.
Next, click on the duplicate icon to duplicate this same field for other options.

Edit the title and change it to Email:

Repeat the steps above to create other fields as required.

If you make any mistake, you click on CMD Z (if on a Mac) or Ctrl Z (if on
windows) to undo, as you would in an a document.

To add some design customisation or add header image, click on the “Customise
Theme” option on the menu.
You can choose a header image,
change the theme colour,
background colour, and the font
style.

Doing all of the above, we have a


complete form like this:
To share your form, click on
the send button on the upper
right menu. You can send it to
a specific email address or
copy the form link and share
it on your own.

To get the link, click on the link icon beside the envelope icon. You’ll see
something like this:

The link seems very long right? Check the “Shorten URL” checkbox to shorten
the url, then click on the “Copy” button on the bottom right.
That’s it! Your form is ready, the link is already on your clipboard. Just paste on
various platforms, and you’re good to go. 

Now you’ve shared the link and people are already visiting your form page to
register. How do you see the list of people who have registered?

There are two tabs on the top menu: Questions and Responses.

Click on the response tab and you’ll get a list of the registered participants.

Good. You've just learnt the basics of Google Forms.
