And moreover, I'm very focused to deliver content that can be smoothly and easily consumed. Have codes of goes Google Forms is a very easy concept. And you need not hustle Are you need a fear about that you may not be able to understand what I will be saying.

It's a simple app. And the goal of this course is to just help you learn about all its features as soon as possible. There are so many coaches out on different platforms, but this goes is way too different because here we will be learning about forms by creating. And that's why the title of this course is Google Forms tutorials. Right from the starting, we will be creating forms. And meanwhile, in the process of creating different forms, I will introduce you with different features of the app.

And by this way, I am sure that it will be very easy for you to understand about Google Forms, and use its features for different purposes. So that's all about what I will be giving you in the codes. Now let us start creating a form. In this video, we will create a simple contact information form fillable, creating the form using one of the templates from Google Forms. And this way, you will get to know about how you can use a template in Google Forms and how you can publish it with your own account. So first of all, it is open from Google Forms app.

And in order to open it, you have to go to this URL, which is forms.google.com. So this is the website of Google Forms app. And while you visit this URL, you will be landing over a page like this. This is the dashboard of Google Forms app. And here at the top, you can find a template gallery. And below the template gallery, you will find the recent forms section.

And the reason form section these are the different forms that I have created and it will allow me to edit that form again, or I can also duplicate that particular form to use it again. So we will start by using one of the templates available from template gallery. You have to click this button in order to expand the template gallery and here you can access Even more templates that are created by Google the major application of a template is that it already contains specific content arranged for you. So, for example, this contact information template will contain all the cushion and as the dives arranged in a format, which can help you to gather the information from a particular customer. And the even feedback in blade will contain different question and answer types that can be helpful for anyone offers to get some feedback about particular even from different respondents.

We will try to use this contact information template which is the simplest one and I will explain you how you can send this template to others and gather their contact information. So let me open this up for you how open any particular template then you will be landing over a page like this which is a form editor, right? So a form editor is a place where you can add form questions, change the answer types, you can also manage where your responses should be stored. By default, all the data regarding the form and its responses will be stored in your Google Drive, you can change the location of the storage of the data of a particular form by choosing this option called motor folder. So when I, when I will just click this file icon, it will open a box where I can choose any one of the different folders that I have created in my Google Drive, or else you can create a new folder in order to add the data of this form to that particular folder.

And now I'm leaving this as it is. Here, this is the title of this form, which is contact information. You can Also change it as Contact Us form. And below this, you have a small text box where you can add the description about this form. So I have just added a simple description, and you can guide the user about how he has to fill the form. While the the description that I have added is not so appropriate, but I'm just trying to show you an example how you can use this area.

Here at the top left hand side, you can find the name of this form, which is contact information. While the title of the form is something written here. The name of the form can be useful for you to search in the dashboard or search in your Google Drive. So whenever you will search for contact us form as our changes right now in your Google route and this form may be visible to you In your Google Drive app, the form has two sections. One is the Questions section and another is a responsive section. In the Questions section, you can add different questions, you can edit the title, you can add the form description, you can change the answer type.

So I'll discuss more about responsive section later in this video. First of all, we will talk more about the question section. Here that will be our first question saying the name so we are asking the user to add his name. While I select this question, I will find the option to choose an answer type on the right hand side. So while I will open this drop down, I will find different answer types from which I can choose any one. For this question, which is name the relevant answer type will be, of course a short answer using a paragraph as a type for name will not be suitable because most of the times no one will have a name that can be written in more than two lines.

And hence, it's better to choose short answer for this. While you select any one of the question, it will highlight it in the form of a box. Here at the top, you can find the drag button, and you can just hold it and drag it down in order to move this question below some other question right? How do you use this in order to move it? The name question below the email address question because I guess email address should be sequentially about the name. So you can use this drag button to the more particular question below or about of it.

And here you have an option to duplicate a question and beside it, you have a delete option. You can also change whether you want a particular question To be required or not, if you just uncheck this option saying required, then the respondent of this form may or may not provide an answer to this question. Before this required option, we have more options available, and I will click it to show the different options. Here we have the option to add description for discussion. However, check this description option it will add a text box for me where I can provide a description for particular question and I'm going to uncheck it. And below the description, you have a response validation option.

This response validation option will be available for a short answer type. You can use this response validation option to manage the type of answer that the user can add. We will not talk more about it because it's not relevant for this particular video. You will get to know more about it in some other tutorial. Okay, so for now I'm just going to close that. And here we how options in IRAs, as I have replaced this contact information template with contact us template.

Hence, I am going to remove this option and remote first of all how to select it and then I how to click the Delete option. You can undo any of your action by simply clicking control Zed or Command Zed. You can also redo the action by simply holding the Shift key, the Ctrl or Command key and then the Zed button. So this is how you can undo and redo it's very simple as we do it in any other app or software. Now below the name version, we have four number and this is not required by default. If you want the phone number of The particular person who is contacting you for sure, then just check this option saying required.

And if you don't want, then uncheck it. Below the phone number we have the comments question available. And insert of comments I'm going to add. I'm going to replace the text as message. Yeah, as it is a Contact Us form. We need our user to add his message.

And by default, the answer type for this one is paragraph and hence, I'm going to leave it as it is. If you are observing whenever I keep my cursor near the question box, you will find this icon being enabled which is an image icon. So you can use this option in order to add an image for any question. Do this contractors form usually it's not necessary to add an image Hence, we will discuss about it later. So we have our simple form that email name, phone number, and my Sage as questions. Now let us move to the responses section.

In the responses section, we don't have any responses because we haven't shared it with anyone. By default, if you don't want to add all the answers to a particular Google Sheet, instead, if you want to access all the answers, or responses to a form by opening this form, then you need not create a sheet or you need not connect any existing sheet to this form. But if you want all this information available in the form of a sheet, then it's better to connect a sheet. There are so many advantages of connecting a form to Google Sheet. Just click this icon and You will find a pop up where you can select whether you want to create a new spreadsheet, or else you want to select any one of the existing spreadsheet. If you want all this data that you will be collecting using this form in existing spreadsheet, then choose this option alls go with the first option with the help of which you're going to create a new spreadsheet.

And right after you have created a spreadsheet, it will open the spreadsheet in a new tab, where you have different columns as timestamp, email name, phone number, and message. All the responses to a form will be added in a new row and in a particular column. Here we have more options available, from which the first option is get email loaded. For new responses, if you want to be notified with an email about new responses, then you can just click this and it will be enabled. And next other options that are available here are select response destination, if you want to select a response destination, or you want to just change the response to this nation, then you can use that option at any time and you can download responses in a CSV format, you can unlink this form. So, you can unlink this form as it is connected to a particular spreadsheet.

And when you will do that, then all the new responses will not be added to that spreadsheet. And again, if you try to link this form again to any other spreadsheet, then all the responses right from the first response will be added in that spreadsheet. You can choose this option saying print or response. This body is disabled for now, as we don't have any responses, and below that we have option to delete all the responses. So this is about questions and responses section. Now, as we have edited the form, and we have choose the response destination, I am going to test it in order to test the form, you have to use this button called preview.

And when I will just click it, it will open the form for me in this new tab, and I can try adding the information. So you can just play here and check whether the form is working in a way that you want it to or not. I can add a message here. Actually, I think I should make this last option saying message as required. I don't want a blank query and so on. I will be changing that.

I can add a phone number here. I will actually add at all information in the form and I have clicked the submit button and this is what it is going to show me. After I have submitted the form, which is a small Tangs message and at the bottom I'll edit your response option. Okay, what should I do in order to edit this tanks message, I will be explaining you about how you can edit this message. And before that, we are going to make this message cushion as required. And in order to change the message that should be shown after submitting a form, you have to go to the Settings section and in the Settings section You have to go to this presentation tab and in the presentation tab at the bottom you can find the confirmation message.

So it's thanks for submitting your contact info. As it is a Contact Us form, I will be changing this message. So I expect this as a relevant confirmation message which is thanks for submitting a query. We will get back to you as soon as possible for making any changes in the Settings section, I had to click the Save button. And here you can see that the responses section is highlighting one and let us go to the responses section. So now as I have tried adding information to the form here we have the details regarding that response.

First one is we have a summary here and we have the email, we have the name we have the number, we have the message, right. So, this is how you can access the information as summary for all the available responses, if you select the individual option then you can see all the responses in this format one by one. At the bottom of these you can also see the time and date when this form has been submitted. Now you can also see that we have print response button enabled and using this I can print the response. So we have created a simple Contact Us form. I guess this is what is necessary for any website to add a simple Pull Contact Us form.

Now I'm going to show you how you can use this in order to send it to your respondents or how you can use it. In order to add it on your website, all you have to do is just click this button saying send, and it will open a pop up. Here we have the first option saying email. So you can send this form via email, you can send this form via link. Or you can use this code to embed this form on your website. You can also shorten the URL by using this option.

So this is how you can create a simple contact form using one of the templates of the Google Forms app. Hope you have found it easy and I also hope you have known a little bit This video, but there are even more and plenty of options available in this app. So if you want to leverage all these features, then be sure to check next videos and Until then, bye bye
