Creating a Google Sign-up Sheet for Volunteers
- Go to the Google main page. If you don’t have a Google account, click “Create an account now” and follow instructions.
- Sign in. Click on Gmail at the top left, then on Documents at the top left, then on New/Form at not quite the top left.
- Edit the title and intro paragraph.
- Edit the first question text; add a help sentence below that if you want one.
- Select the first question type. Short text fields are called "text;" try the other ones to see what you get. Don't forget to select "Make this a required question" if you want the little red asterisk.
- Click "Done". This will close the editing, and show you, live, what that entry looks like. If you want to change what you did, click the pencil way to the right. To delete it, the trash barrel.
- Closing one question opens a stub for the next one. So does the green "+". Repeat until done.
- To add a confirmation page, go to "More actions"/"Edit confirmation". Notice the URL in blue on black at the bottom, that's what you send to people to fill in.
- Click "Save" on the near top right. When you then go to the documents page again, you will see a new spreadsheet with the corresponding fields.
- You may have to leave and come back to the documents page to see it. You can change the file name there.
