Google Forms Tips - Header - Digital Sign In Sheet

Did you know that there’s a better way to do sign-in sheets for your events? You can use digital sign-in sheets created with Google Forms for your guests. This will allow you to track attendance at events and collect guest information.

How to Create a Digital Sign-In Sheet

Start by creating a Google Form for your event.

Set it up to collect the information you need from your guests. For example,  name, time of arrival, email address, etc.

Click on the “Responses” tab, then click on “Create Spreadsheet”. This will give you all of the information in a spreadsheet that can be uploaded into an email platform, or some other marketing tool.

Lastly, you’ll want to make sure that the box is checked to “show link to submit another response”. This allows you to keep accepting responses without opening a new form each time.

Put it to Use

All that’s left is to have a tablet or laptop at the event where guests can sign in. Once they are done, just make sure that the link has been clicked to start a new response. At the end of the event, you will have a spreadsheet with all of your guest information in it.

Now that’s much better than taking a handwritten list and having to type it all up yourself!

    Even better, you can open the same form on a dozen laptops, to spread the load, and all the results will end up in a single spreadsheet.
