hello everyone this is Bono Quasi an author of
Google Drive and Doc's in 15 minutes.
Today, I'm going to be comparing Cognito Forms to Google Forms. First, let's start with google forms, then cognito.
looking at responses from a forum you've
created using Google Forms and there's
actually a couple ways to check out the
responses from a forum and we're gonna
go over them right now so the first
thing that I do to check out the forum
in the response is is I go to Google
Drive. Drive Google comm and then you go
to recent to find the particular forum
that you were working on or the
responses that you want to check out and
I have these forums that I've been
working on recently the one that I want
to look at more closely as Amazon book
in ebook titles so I'm gonna select that
one it's going to open it up in another
tab and this will be the editing area
for the forum so if I wanted to change
the appearance or add more questions or
put in a photo or something like that I
could do that here this form by the way
asked people about certain books in
Amazon and you can see at the very top
there's the questions area
which is where you edit the questions
and then there's the responses area so
you can look at the responses right here
and let's take a look right now and
there's 42 responses you can see the
different titles that have been put in
there including some duplicates and then
it breaks it down by all the questions
that I asked on the forum so for the
first book was why didn't they teach me
this in school and so that author was
listed twice Kerry Segal and you can go
down you can see many more examples of
either duplicate titles or people who
just had one book in there and there's
42 of them.
This is interesting. Comparing cognito forms vs google forms we learn which is actually better for our needs. Google creates a graph that automatically shows
the responses in a pie chart so how many
other books has this author written so
one is most of them but then you have a
few people that have written more than
eleven books 16.7 okay that's
interesting
and then it shows the date of
publication the number of pages and now
one issue with this is while it's easy
to review them I can just scroll through
and see all the answers
I can't match each answer up to the data
that was also
part of the answer so for instance the
author and the page number and the date
of publication there's information
associated with each one of these titles
starting with this one but I have this
kind of scroll down and maybe it's not
convenient to figure out which one are
we looking at
you know this row or that row so there's
another way to take a look at your
responses in Google Forms go back to the
top where it says responses and then
right underneath it you'll see a symbol
and if you hover over it it will say
view responses in Google's sheets click
on that and Google sheets is the
spreadsheet program that's operated by
Google it's online or you can get an app
for it and it's free and it's just like
Microsoft Excel with a more limited
feature set but for what we're doing
here checking out some form responses
it's perfectly alright and this is great
so what happens here is it has each one
of the responses has a timestamp it has
a title author name how many other books
have they written the your publication
the length of the book and then if you
scroll there's a scroll bar at the
bottom and you can take a look at the
other columns that they have as well and
the great thing about being in Google
sheets aside from being able to really
easily scroll through every single one
and take a look is you can sort the
responses so let's say that I wanted to
sort the responses alphabetically by the
title basically what I could do is
select the column go to tools yes all
right data sort sheet by column B A to Z
so this will alphabetically sort it by
this particular column starting with a
and going to Z where I could do it
reverse alphabetical but I'm just gonna
do with alphabetical and what it did is
it it broke it down alphabetically and
it changed all the other columns as well
you could also do something by book
length let's say I wanted to sort it by
book length click the column F so it's
all selected data sort sheet by column F
I'm going to do z28
means from largest to smallest looks
Wendy did the other one well anyways I
think you get the idea there's all kinds
of possibilities with using this
particular tool in Google sheets or you
can just review them in Google Forms
itself for more information about how to
get the most out of Google Forms and
Google sheets check out my book Google

from in 30 minutes calm and thanks so
much for watching.

plan once you log in you'll land on the
forms homepage after you've built some
forms you'll be able to view and
organize all of them here to build your
first form select the new form button in
the top left corner at this point you
have three options you can build your
form from scratch you can choose a
pre-built template or you can copy a
form that you've already built and this
pace will start from scratch for this
example we're gonna build a very simple
contact form when you create a new form
the first thing you want to do is give
your form a title this title appears at
the top of your form as well as in the
form URL if you want you can also add a
short description that appears under the
title
underneath the title and description
you'll notice an empty placeholder on
the form clicking the placeholder will
open the add field menu this is a list
of all the field types you can add to
your form the field types you use will
depend on the type of information you
want to collect for our contact forum
we'll definitely need some basic
personal information so I'm gonna add a
name field at the top when you add a
field to your form the field settings
menu appears on the left this is where
you can edit or hide the field label add
help text underneath the field decide
when the fields should appear or be
required or display a custom error
message other fields will have similar
options in their field settings but they
may differ depending on the field for
example the name field settings allows
me to optionally include input like
title or middle initial while the phone
field settings allow you to set the
phone number validation to US or
international next I'm going to add an
email field as well as an address field
using the drag-and-drop builder I can
easily resize from new fields around as
needed.
At the bottom of the form I'm going to
include two different size textbox
fields one for the contact to include
their company name and another for any
comments or questions to do this I'm
just going to add one textbox field and
then copy it to make another
[Music]
at the bottom of the builder you can
click the preview button to check out a
preview of your form
next let's go to the forum submission
settings
basically the submission settings allow
you to control what happens when someone
submits your form this is where you can
edit the confirmation message aka the
thank-you page as well as set up email
notifications and confirmations email
notifications allow you to be notified
via email whenever a new form is
submitted
while confirmations are sent to the
people who submit your form finally to
finish up our form I'm going to set some
of the fields is required to make sure
that we get all the information we need
from our contacts setting field is
required mean for the user has to fill
it in before they could submit the form
when you're finished editing your form
be sure to hit the Save button now we're
ready to style and publish from the
publish tab you can use the style editor
to customize the look and feel of your
form you can edit the form header at
logo change font types and colors add a
background image and much more
again be sure to save your changes when
you're done styling now that your form
is ready to go you have a couple of
different options when it comes to
sharing it you can copy one of the form
embed codes to embed your form directly
into your website or you can simply copy
a direct link to the form the direct
link is useful when emailing your form
or if you just prefer not to embed it
you can also share your form on social
media by clicking one of these buttons
to test out our form I'm just going to
grab the direct link and fill it out as
a regular user would.
Once I hit submit the form data is
captured by Khan uniforms and I'll see
the custom confirmation message that we
included in the form submission settings
plus if you enable email notifications
or confirmations those emails will send
out now
to take a look at the form we just
submitted we're gonna go back to
cognitive forms and select entries from
here you can view and manage all your
collected form data you can edit entries
download them to excel save them as PDFs
and much more and that's pretty much it
