 Copy the url link on the form and email that to those you
want to take the survey or fill out the form
 You can make it shorter by using http://goo.gl but save the
shortened link somewhere
 Under ‘Form’ put checkmark by ‘accepting responses’ til
your deadline then uncheck it
 Next time you open it you will see the spreadsheet view of
respondents’ answers and if you need the live form again that
is in the ‘Form’ menu and select ‘go to live form’
Using the Results
 Under ‘Form’ you can go to ‘summary of responses’ after
your deadline and you have charts and graphs showing
percentages on those that were scales and grids or multiple
choice questions
