I'm trying to download signed waiver forms to keep for our records.

Hi Carla, If you have set up automatic syncing to Google Drive, you can find the signed forms in the designated folder there. Otherwise, you can manually download the signed waiver forms in Formesign. Login to Formesign > click Forms > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Responses > In the Responses page, click on a response to view the details > scroll down to the Additional details section > click on the signed form to access the pdf and download it. Please note that you can download the files one at a time only.

Formesign addon You can use the Sync to drive addon menu option in Formesign to automatically generate the signed form in pdf format and sync it your google drive folder. For detailed instructions, refer to the help article below. Sync to drive https://formesign.com/esign/how-to-sync-signature-and-signed-document-to-google-drive.html Formesign - Demo video https://youtu.be/GPaSEioRKJ8 Missing menu options If you open your form in Google Forms, click on the addon icon and select Formesign (or any addon) immediately, sometimes only the Help option will be displayed in the addon menu. This is a Google Workspace issue. Please click on the addon icon a few mins after opening your Google Form (once the form is loaded); the addon menu options will be displayed.

I have a questions about the functionality of the product. 1) Can the product be used for multiple signatures on the same document 2) If so, does each signature on the document count as a response or is it related to the response to each form? Meaning three signatures on one document count as one response. 3) Additionally if the form allows multiple signatures, can the document be signed by different people at different times?

Hi William, Please find the answers below. 1️⃣ Yes, you can use the Formesign - Esignature product to collect multiple signatures in your form. For example, you can collect signatures from the student and parent/guardian when they submit the form. Formesign - Collect signatures in your form https://formesign.com/esign/ Formesign - Esignature addon https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/formesign_esignature/210002188569 Formesign Demo video https://youtu.be/GPaSEioRKJ8 2️⃣ When a user fills the form and submits it, it counts towards the monthly response limit. The form can have one signature or more than one signatures. Simply put, 1 form submission = 1 response. 3️⃣ Yes, you can use the Formesign - Signature workflow product to set up a sequential workflow to collect signatures from different users at different times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hello! Why do some say completed and others read PAID, I am not understanding the difference. Is there something I need to do?

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. Abandoned orders If a user starts filling the form, but does not submit it, it will be displayed in the Abandoned status. These orders will be displayed only in the Neartail Orders page and it will not be included in Reports. Abandoned orders will have * prefixed to the order number in the Neartail Orders page. Submitted orders When the user chooses the automated payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the Paid status. When the user chooses the manual payment option and submits the form, the order will be displayed under the submitted 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. Trash orders You can move redundant orders to Trash. Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Orders > In the Orders page, you can drag and drop (place the cursor on the profile image/default icon to drag) orders to the Trash status or click on an order to view the details, select the Trash status from the dropdown list for the Move to option and click Submit.

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 must customize your google form using the Formfacade addon to convert this into a html file upload to allow users to upload files without 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.
