In this article, we will show you how to create a Google Forms waiver template which is ideal for event organizers and educators. Simply follow the steps below.
To create and manage a waiver form tailored for activities and events using Google Forms, follow the process below:
Open Google Forms and select the "+" icon or "Blank" to initiate a new form. This is your starting point for creating a new waiver form.
Name your form with a specific title like "Activity Waiver Form". This title should reflect the nature of the activity and its purpose.
In the description field, clearly state the purpose of the form. Mention it's a waiver for an activity and include any essential instructions or legal notices. For example, "By submitting this form, you agree to the terms and conditions and acknowledge that you understand the risks involved in participating in this activity."
Insert fields for participants' details such as 'Full Name', 'Date of Birth', 'Phone Number', and 'Email Address', using the 'Short answer' question type.
Add sections for participants to enter their emergency contact details. These should include 'Emergency Contact Name' and 'Emergency Contact Phone Number'.
Create a new section specifically for the waiver text. Click on the sidebar menu to add a section,
then paste your pre-prepared waiver text in the description area of this section.
Include a 'Checkboxes' question type where participants can mark their agreement to the waiver terms. Phrase it like "I have read and agree to the terms."
Use the palette icon to change the form's color scheme or add a header image. This step is about making your form visually appealing and aligned with your branding or event theme.
Before sharing, preview the form using the eye icon. Test it by filling out the form to check for any mistakes or issues.
Share the form with participants by clicking 'Send'.
You can choose to send it via email, a direct link, or embed it on a website.
Follow the steps below to review and manage form responses directly in the Google Forms interface.
Click the "Responses" tab to see a dashboard with all the collected responses. This tab provides an overview of the data collected from your form.
View a summary of all responses, which includes charts and graphs for quick insights, especially useful for multiple-choice or checkbox questions.
Switch to the individual response view to see each participant's answers in detail. This allows for a more thorough review of each submission.
Use the toggle to stop or resume collecting responses. This is useful if you need to pause the response collection temporarily.
To view responses in Google Sheets, follow the process outlined below.
Link your form to a new Google Sheet by clicking the Google Sheets icon in the "Responses" tab. This step is crucial for more advanced data analysis.
Open the newly created sheet to see all responses organized in a spreadsheet format. This view allows for a comprehensive overview of all data collected.
The Google Sheet linked to your form will update automatically as new responses come in. This feature ensures that your data analysis is always up-to-date.
