Google Forms are a great way to gather information from users. The really nice thing about using them, is that you can configure the form to put the data directly into a Google spreadsheet. (as of Feb 2017)
First: We store all of our Google Forms on our account's Google Drive. Log into Google Drive as indivisible.berks.pa@gmail.com
- if you are looking a form that is on our website, go to Indivisible Berks - Share Folder->Web Site Docs & Sheets->Google Forms (on website) folder
Likewise, if you are going to create a new form on our website, you should put it in this folder
- if your are looking form will be used as a sign in form, and not found on the website, go to Indivisible Berks - Share Folder-> Google Forms (not on website) folder. Likewise, if you going to create form that will not be linked to on our website, you should put it in the folder.
Second: we generally store the data in a separate data file. The form and spreadsheet usually share the same file name, but the spreadsheet where the data is stored, has "(Responses)" appended at the end of the name.
