Google recently introduced an update to Google Forms that finally allows users to collaborate. With this update, users can work together on a form in real-time, while also chatting inside the file.
Updates also include Form themes, useful copy/paste functions, and the ability to specify which spreadsheet form responses go to.
I noticed on the new forms that an individual that has just completed a form has the option to edit their responses. Is there any way that I, as the form file/response file owner can send them a link at a later time that will allow them to alter their form responses? How? Thanks.
Do you have any idea how to publish a Google Form to the Templates area. With the recent change, we cannot successfully publish a “quiz form” to the templates area, allowing teachers to use the quiz template, have students take the quiz, and then get the spreadsheet results. We can publish the spreadsheet to the Templates Gallary…however, the form is no longer “attached” with the new version. It is a separate document. Make sense?
Becky,
To upload a form as a template, go to the template gallery which can be found at:
https://drive.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/templates?view=domain
where yourdomain is your actual domain name. In the top right hand corner you will see a link for ‘Submit a Template.’
From there you can choose the Form from your Drive and save it as a template!
Hope that helps!
New Google Forms not yet showing up for some Google Apps schools.
I work with many school districts and have noticed that some of the districts have the new version of Google Forms and some do not. Thought this was an automatic upgrade. Is this an optional issue in the dashboard? Do we need to ask districts’ domain administrators to “flip the switch” or what? Thanks in advance for your help.
Judy,
As far as I know, this update has been applied to all Google Apps domains. Your domain may be on the ‘scheduled release track’ rather than the ‘rapid release track’ which may have something to do with it. The ‘scheduled release track’ pushes out updates slightly later than ‘rapid’.
Thanks for this. Two questions on the new forms-
Do you know how to find the “form key” with the new model? I’m using this for a Google forms WordPress plugin which requires the actual key. It’s no longer just in the URL bar, whatever that new code is, its not the legacy “form key” that I need.
Also my form keeps showing up in German, any idea how to force English?
Delete duplicates in google form?
In the old one it was easy. How d i now?
Is there a way to send a thank you type response when someone submits a form from your website?
Romilda,
Check out this video about creating a mail merge using Apps script and Forms
I am the webmaster for our church and I am having a hard time getting the responses EMAILED to more than one addressee.
In the old forms I was able to send it to as many recipients as I needed which was good as not all the people had a Google account and could figure out how to get to the spreadsheet OR to even know there was a new response to read.
Any word on why they changed this or how to get around it?
Alan,
It looks like you can only send notifications to the owner of the spreadsheet.
My suggestion would be to have the notifications sent to you, then set up a filter so they can automatically be forwarded to anyone else you would like to share the results with.
Make sure the sharing permissions are set to ‘Anyone with the link can view’.
If you need additional help with this, please let me know. Thanks!
I am seeing the new Google Forms in my personal account, but still get the old Forms in my school district account.
The new forms just hit our Business App account. Are we able to use the new look and functionality on previously created forms?
Is there a way to create questions dependencies (eg: If x then ask a. If y then ask b and c) without having to create lots of new pages with different question streams?
You can create different paths of a Form, depending on the answers your user provides. But, like you said, it can get very confusing if you’re putting together an in-depth Form.
I always suggest being very careful when making conditional Forms like this, because it can be really easy to make a mistake. So just continuously check your work and make sure to explore every possible scenario before you send it out.
