Google Forms

Site managers and contributors have permission to add a Google Form to the website. The ability to add a Google Form is currently available out of the box for all Stanford Sites. You can use Google Forms to create a customized form and add it to your webpage. This is done in three steps, first create the form, add the form, and then insert the form onto to your webpage.

Creating a Google Form

1. Log into your Google account.
2. Navigate to Google Form.
3. Create your form.
