Deploying a Form

Before you deploy your form for others to complete, you should look at the "Edit Confirmation" options under "More Actions". It will bring you to this screen where you can edit your "Thank you message" as well as decide if your audience should be able to see the current results.

After you have altered your "Confirmation" described above, you will want to get your survey out for people to complete. Below, we will visit several ways to do this, including:

  • email

  • linking from a website

  • embedding the form on a website

Email:

Emailing is easy. Simply click the "Email this Form" button. You may type, copy and paste, or "Choose from contacts" to input the email addresses of the people you wish to survey. Click send, and your Form is on its way.

Linking:

You can use a web link to your Form anywhere that will accept a web link. This might be a link on a web page, in a document, or in an email. When you are editing the form, the like to the live version on this form is shown on the bottom. Copy this link into the document of your choice.

Embedding on a Google Website:

  • Go to your Google website. Find the location where you would like to embed the form. Make sure you have clicked the "Edit Page" button, and that your cursor is located where you want the form to be placed.

  • Go up to the "Insert" menu, and go down to "Spreadsheet Form".

  • You will now see a list of forms available from your document library. Select the form you wish to embed.

  • If you like, you can play around with the formatting of how the Form appears on your website. Each time you adjust your settings, you will need to "Save" the webpage to see the result. If you don't like what you see, "Edit Page" and then click on the form. Click the "properties" link to make further adjustments.
