Form Settings

Changing Form Settings Overview

If you are using Google Forms through a Google Apps domain, there are several user settings that you can change for your Google Form.

  • General

  • Presentation

  • Quizzes

  • Collect email address - If you check this box then their email address will be collected. Additionally, users can receive a copy of their responses.

  • Requires sign in - This checkbox will restrict who can submit responses (domain). Users will be required to sign into Google with their SJFC login.

  • Only allow one response per person (requires login) - Only let a user complete the form one time.

  • Respondents can – Edit after submit and see summary charts and text responses.

  • Show Progress bar – helpful for multi-page forms

  • Shuffle question order - Rearrange the order the user sees the form questions. Useful for randomizing quizzes. However, not good if you have added images or videos to the form, as they will be shuffled as well.

Screenshot of the Google Form settings. The header says Settings then there are three tabs that say General, Presentation, and Quizzes. The General window is open. The window says Collect email address (with a checkmark box that isn't checked) and a sub-item that is grayed out that says Response recipients. Below that, sub heading says Requires sign in. Below there are two checkmark box options. The first is checked and says Restric to sjfc.edu users. The second says Limit to 1 response (not checked). Below that, there is text that says Respondents will be required to sign in to Google. The next section says Respondents can. There are a series of checkmark box options. Edit after submit (not checked), see summary charts and text responses (not checked). In the bottom right, there is a gray cancel link and a purple save link.

  • Make this a quiz- Select Make this a quiz, and then choose whether to show the results immediately after the form is submitted or later once you review the answers. If you choose the latter, your form will need to require respondents to sign in with their Google account.

  • You can then choose to show missed and correct answers, as well as a value for each option if you'd like.
