I am using the form I used last year to receive photos from parishioners in our parish for World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly. I would like to delete the old ABANDONED, SUBMITTED, COMPLETED AND TRASH uploads from the previous year - I don't see this as an option. Please advice. Thank you - Patty Lindner, Dir. of Communications, The Community of the Good Shepherd.

form not open

Hi Pritam, Formfacade supports only public forms. If you have enabled Google Forms features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, file upload, send respondents a copy of their response option or enable collect email address with verified input option, you won't be able to use Formfacade. You have enabled the collect email address with verified input option in your form. You must disable the collect email address option add a short answer question with text email response validation to collect email address or use collect email address with responder's input option. Also, you have added a file upload question in your form. You must convert this in to a html file upload using the Formfacade - File upload addon and then use the Formfacade share link to collect responses.

the monthly price is for one user or whole team?

Hi - All pricing plans except the Team plan are single user licenses. Please note that the subscription is linked with the email account used to subscribe to the paid plan. Only that account can be used to customize the form and collect responses.

not working

Hi Nidhi, could you please provide more details about the issue you are experiencing? Are you encountering any specific error messages or problems when trying to edit the form or when submitting a response?

Hello, I made a meal order form for our school cook. There are two possibilities: children can eat a meal during lunch at school or families can order a take-away meal (with warranty on re-usable glass containers). Our products are configured per day: e.g. September 5th - Soup - School, September 5th - Meal - School, September 5th - Soup - Take-away, September 5th - Meal - Take-away in various portion sizes. Families can order for one month (each month will be a form). I have two questions: I. I included ${response()} in the e-mail confirmation to the customers. Not all amounts are shown with the €-sign. Amount meal orders is calculated with TOTAL() and has an €-sign in the overview of the responses. Because take-away meals are delivered in glass containers with a warranty, I configured two extra calculations: 1. Amount of warranty 2. Total amount = amount meals + amount warranty These last two amounts have no €-sign in the overview of responses. All three of them are configured as a number. Is there any way I can have them shown in euro? II. Customers can cancel orders up until a certain time before delivery. We chose not to allow customers to change orders once submitted. Is there a way for the admin to cancel a submitted order? I know how the admin can change orders, but I'm looking for a way to cancel it entirely. We want it to disappear from the reports. Orders are typically done way up front. Our cook relies on the reports to know how many soups - meals in which sizes she has to prepare each day for school / take-away, she doesn't handle order by order. Just wanted to say that the Neartail Order Form is a huge way forward to the old way via simple Google Form and calculations in Google Sheets. Thank you in advance for your help with my questions. Best regards, Martje

Email notifications ${response()} formula will show a summary of all the answers in the form (products ordered + other fields in the form such as contact details, address etc) ${BILL()} formula will show a summary of the products ordered in the bill format. It will include the product name, quantity, unit price and amount Order summary / Formatting amounts Summary settings page allows you to select the relevant fields from the form for the Amount, Discount, Tax, Delivery Fee, Tip, Net amount option. The mapping in the Summary settings allows Neartail to identify the field with the amount to be charged and pass this amount to the selected payment option such as Stripe or Paypal and also show the order summary. If you have mapped a field for the Net amount option, the answer for that field will be passed to the selected payment options.

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.
