Hey, welcome back. Hope you have cried and created a forum with a blank template. And if you were not successful, then please do watch this video and I will also reveal a solution for the challenge that I have given for you. So, first of all talking about how I can create a Contact Us form from blank template. Before we do that, let us have a look on the form that we have created earlier. So this was the Contact Us form.
We had the email as the first question, and that was followed by name and again, we also how phone number as a question and at the end, we how message as a question. So I'm going back and we'll be creating the form using a blank template. It's quite easy and I am very sure that you have created it. But however, if you haven't, then please watch this video, or else you can skip this video to watch the solution for the challenge. Okay, let's get started, I will open a new blank template and after that, I'm going to first of all change the name of this form. So I have just changed the title and offered that I'm going to add the first question.
I will add the first question as a name, insert off the email address. And while I would just change the question as name and we'll just still change the answer type insert of multiple choice. I will select short answer as as a type and offer that here are how to check this option saying required because I need the person to add his name in the form In order to collect the email address, the easiest method is to open the Settings and select this option which is collect email addresses. And I will click sale. Now automatically we have default question called email address. And after that, I want to ask the respondent for his phone number.
Instead of clicking this add question button, I can easily add a new question by just duplicating this question saying name because answer type is similar. I can use the duplicate option. So I'm just changing the question as phone number So while I was just adding the question, you may have observed something being displayed in this area. That was the response validation automatically. Google has read the question, and it has added a response validation for this, which is a number. All right, it has automatically added response validation to check whether the answer that has been provided by the respondent is a number or not.
But we can use response validation more efficiently here in order to check whether the given number is four number or not. So the one thing that we can check further apart from just checking whether the provided answer is a number or not is that the number of digits being added by the user? So in my country, the phone number has 10 digits So I can validate whether the provided answer is a number within n digits or not. And for that, instead of greater than as a validation option, I'm going to choose between as an option and here, I will first of all add smallest 10 digit number. And at the end, I will add the smallest 11 digit number. And I can also add a custom error message saying please add a valid phone number.
Right. So this was the solution for one of the challenges that I have given for you. It was quite simple. All you had to do is just Add response validation and check whether the given number is a 10 digit number or not. I don't know but if the number of digits in some other country maybe less than then or maybe greater than 10 and if it is the case then you can adjust the provided numbers here and allow the user to choose from different digits whether it may be 10 digit, 11 digit or nine digit number. Okay.
So, moving on to the next question. The next question here was message right. So m s as a ja message, and for that I need a paragraph answer type. And there is a small change here, as I just duplicated this question. By default it was required earlier how to just answer it because I want the user to add his phone number only if it is okay to him. Now, let us talk about another challenge that I have given to you, which was to add a cushion with the help of which you can find the temporary code of that particular person.
So I'm going to first of all add a question. I'm going to add the question as country and do this. Google Forms has suggested short answer as a relevant answer type. But I want to provide options to the user. I don't want him to type some text randomly. So I can choose the multiple choice option with which I can provide the user options from which he can select any one orals I can use the drop down option in order to let the user select from a list of options.
A multiple choice answer will sell the purpose, but it will be not so easy for the user or respondent to select a particular option because he has to just find out exactly where his country name is. More about these options will occupy a lot of space in the form, whereas the drop down option will be most suitable because user can easily scroll down and find his country name and select it. So drop down is a relevant option. And the way you can add the options to drop down is similar to how you can add the options do the multiple choice as a type. So you can add country names here. I added about 16 Contrary options, if you want to add all of them, then go ahead.
And please do added. I think the country question should be before the phone number, so I will drag it and drop it here about the phone number question. And that is just click the Preview button in order to test the form. So this is the drop down as the type that we have added. So let's click that. And this is how we can select the country.
And then while adding a phone number, let me check how many digits does this cushion well accept. So I have added about nine digits of a number. Let me just move on to the next question. So as I have tried to move on to next question, it has actually checked Whether the provided phone number is 10 digit phone number or not. So let me check by adding one more digit. And if I add one more digit and now let me move on to the next question, and then you will find it's okay.
Let me try adding one more number. And now let me move on to the next question. As you can see, this short answer textbox is accepting a phone number, which is within n digits. So our form works as we have designed and if you have completed these challenges before watching this video, then congratulations to you because you are way ahead and you're you are learning the concepts very fastly. So that's it for this video, and in the upcoming videos. We will practice more tutorials and you will be solving even more complex challenges.
So all of this for you and bye
