Hi, I'm using Google Forms and have added Formfacade to allow me to create summaries for customer orders. I need help understanding how to create (a) Cost per product order and (b) Total Order Summary. Let me know how I can achieve this? FYI - my form is filled by about 40 people every week. Regards Ruchi Trivedi
Hi Ruchi, If you have already created a form in Google Forms, you can customize it using the Neartail addon to add amount calculations and show order summary. Otherwise, you can use the Neartail templates to create an order form. Neartail pricing https://neartail.com/order-form/pricing.html Neartail templates https://neartail.com/order-forms You can pick the preferred template, edit it to add your products and then use the Neartail share link to collect responses. Order amount, summary calculations are included in the templates by default. If required, you can also add discount, tax, delivery fee calculations in your form.

Can I add fields to imported form

My link says it is not receiving responses. To my understanding I have the premium package already.
Hi Devin, you are using the Formfacade share link for your email account. Since there is no active paid subscription linked with your email account, it is showing the response limit warning message.

Trying to edit form and it will not allow me to do so - I have added editor@formfacade.com to a collaborator

Dear team, We deleted our configure column including name, number, email etc just to stop end user to submit our form, however we didn't expect deleting column might cause losing completed information. Can you tell us how to recall our completed information out now? thank you!
Hi - If you delete fields from your form after collecting responses, the submitted responses for those fields will also be deleted. You will not be able to access these responses in Formfacade or Google Forms. Note: If you had already linked your google forms to google sheets before deleting the fields, you will be able to view these responses in Google Sheets. Also, if you had set up email notifications for new responses, you will be able to view these responses from your email inbox. Close form You can close the form to stop accepting responses.

Good morning, I seem to have a problem with the addition of scores on my forms. All forms are the same (they are just used in different areas in the business). I have just completed a test form and the results are attached in a pdf. I answered all questions with a one (for ease of addition) so the final score should have been 25, but for some reason it is giving me a total of 26. This is happening on all my forms - the final score is always one more than it should be. I have checked the addition in the backend and it all seems correct, so I'm confused as to why it's not working properly. Can you help me please? Kind regards Amanda Wells
Hi Amanda, when you use the SCORE function to assign points and calculate scores, it will assign the points for all the multiple choice, checkboxes and grid questions. You have used the SCORE(SECTION, 1, 2, 3) formula to assign the points and calculate the section scores for the 5 sections in your form. Each of these sections has one grid question, a paragraph question for comments and a short answer question with the formula for the section score. These section scores are calculated correctly. You have used the SCORE(ALL, 1, 2, 3) formula to calculate the overall score. This formula assigns the points for each of the grid questions in the 5 sections as well as the multiple choice question "Type of Audit" in the home page. If you don't want to include the "Type of Audit" multiple choice question in the score calculations, then you can use the SUM function to add the 5 section scores instead of the SCORE function. SUM( section#1, section#2, section#3, section#4, section#5 ) where section#1, section#2, section#3, section#4, section#5 are the short questions you want to add to calculate the overall score. You must type @ and select the required field from the list to include them in the formula above. In the Edit page, click on the gear icon next to the total score question > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > enter the above SUM formula in the Calculate option and click Save.
I get a message saying report this problem. It doesn’t say what the problem is.
Hi Joe, could you please provide more details about when you are seeing this message? Are you trying to access a specific form, submit a response, or perform another action? Any additional information or a screenshot of the error will be useful.
How do I update the live version?
You make changes to the form using the Formfacade Editor. These changes will be live when you save the edits. If you have created your form in Google Forms and make the edits in Google Forms, then you must sync it to Formfacade. Open your form in Google Forms > click on the addon icon > click Formfacade > click More options > click Update or Customize to sync the changes with Formfacade immediately.
not a problem but a question, is it possible to track the conversion using google ads?
Currently, Formfacade does not support adding Google Ads conversion tracking scripts directly to the form. However, you can track conversions if you embed the form on your website.

Hi Katrina By default, there are four order status: Abandoned, Submitted, Completed, Trash. You cannot rename the default status, but you can choose to hide a default status. When you enable automated as well as manual payments in your form, the default order status will include Abandoned, Submitted, Paid, Completed, Trash.

Submitted orders When the user chooses the automated payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the Paid status.

Once you verify the payment and update the payment status, it will be moved to the Paid status. These submitted orders will be recorded in Neartail and Google Forms. You can sync Google Forms responses to Google Sheets. Submitted orders will have # prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. The order numbers should be in sequential order.

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
Does this add-on allow a Google Form to be embedded into a website if the file upload feature is part of the form?
Yes, you can use the Formfacade addon to embed a google form with file upload on your website. Google Forms file upload requires login.

You can subscribe to the Formfacade - Embed paid plan. This plan is suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file with a total file storage of 1gb. Only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. Formfacade - Embed https://formfacade.com/embed/pricing.html If your requirement is to collect large files and collaborate with your team, you should also subscribe to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb. You can increase the max file size to up to 1gb per file (depends on the plan), the number of files per file upload question, restrict file types, enable unlisted links to allow anyone to access the files, add collaborators to provide access to specific users and use our addon to sync the uploaded files to your google drive.
