Custom Google Sheet Form Review
As I explored the Custom Google Sheet Form Pack, I was impressed by its simplicity, flexibility, and potential for seamless integration with my online campaigns and events. With this pack, you can easily create a customizable Google Sheet Form that syncs with your Google spreadsheet, eliminating the need for backend coding or developer involvement.
Ease of Use and Features
The pack is divided into two main categories: User Features and Admin Features. The User Features are designed to provide users with a seamless experience, offering data entry and editing capabilities, formulas and functions, data formatting, and sheet management. The Admin Features, on the other hand, cater to the administrative needs, providing access control and permissions, data security, audit trail, integration management, and template creation and management.
The user interface is user-friendly, with a well-organized documentation that makes it easy to update and edit the form. The ability to customize the form’s title, subtitle, and even generate a URL with an App Script is a welcome feature.
Limitations and Notes
One thing to note is that you need to pay an extra $20 for installation services, which may be a minor drawback for some users. Additionally, the pack doesn’t include images in the main downloadable file; images are used only for demo purposes.
Performance and Bug Fixes
The pack has undergone several updates, with the latest being VERSION 4.0. This update brought significant improvements, including enhanced form titles and subtitles, customized forms, and the ability to submit custom HTML form data to Google Sheets.
Support and Credits
The pack’s developer, Design Collection, offers a responsive support system, where you can email them for any questions or queries. They also provide a clear documentation and credits section, detailing the sources and fonts used in the pack.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Custom Google Sheet Form Pack is an excellent tool for anyone looking to create a seamless integration between their online forms and Google spreadsheet. With its user-friendly interface, customizable design options, and robust feature set, this pack is sure to impress. I give it a score of 4.5 out of 5 for its ease of use, flexibility, and potential.

Setting up the Custom Google Sheet Form:
Step 1: Create a new Google Sheet or open an existing one.
Step 2: Go to the "Tools" menu and select "Script editor." This will open the Google Apps Script editor.
Step 3: Delete the existing code in the script editor and paste the following code:
function doGet() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var html = '<html>';
html += '<form>';
for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
html += '<label>' + data[i][0] + '</label><br>';
html += '<input type="text" name="' + data[i][0] + '"> <br>';
}
html += '</form>';
html += '</html>';
return ContentService.createTextOutput(html);
}Step 4: Save the code by clicking on the floppy disk icon or pressing Ctrl+S (or Command+S on a Mac).
Step 5: Go back to your Google Sheet and click on the "Responses" tab. You should see a link to "Custom Form" in the top right corner of the sheet. Click on it to open the form editor.
Customizing Your Form:
Step 1: In the form editor, you can customize the look and feel of your form by adding or removing form fields, and customizing the layout and styling.
Step 2: To add a new form field, click on the "+" icon in the top right corner of the editor. You can choose from a variety of field types, including text, number, date, and multiple-choice.
Step 3: To customize the layout of your form, you can use the drag-and-drop interface to arrange the form fields in the desired order.
Step 4: To add logic and branching to your form, you can use the "Add an action" button in the top right corner of the editor. This will open a menu with various options, including "Show/show next" and "Skip/Go to."
Logic and Branching:
Step 1: To add a show or show next action, click on the "Add an action" button and select "Show/show next."
Step 2: In the action editor, you can choose the condition that should trigger the action. For example, you can use a condition like "Question 1 is answered as 'Yes'."
Step 3: To skip or go to a different part of the form, click on the "Add an action" button and select "Skip/Go to."
Step 4: In the action editor, you can choose the section or question that should be skipped or displayed next.
Integrating with Google Sheets:
Step 1: In the form editor, go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Configure form settings."
Step 2: In the settings menu, you can select the Google Sheet that should be used to store form submissions.
Step 3: You can also set up automatic notifications and emails for form submissions by using the "Notifications" and "Email" settings in the settings menu.
Step 4: Once you've set up your form and form settings, you can publish your form by clicking on the "Publish" button in the top right corner of the editor. This will create a URL that you can share with others to submit the form.
