Hello everyone!

I am looking into the various different ways in which cast and crew information is collected. Currently, we are using Google Forms for each separate form, however, the organizational side is not as neat as we would like it. Does anyone use or know of a cloud-based SAAS (software as a service) that handles this information for them? We are primarily looking for a free solution since it would only be used twice a year.

Any input or ideas would be appreciated!

Luka, I agree with you.

Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer to share just yet. We also collect our information using a Google form, and we've gotten more sophisticated over the years using the question navigation tools of the form to direct students only to those questions which apply to them, but the resulting spreadsheet isn't always helpful since it involves so much scrolling, etc.

I feel like there might be some app add-ons or extensions which might allow the results in the Google spreadsheet to be displayed in a different manner after the form is closed, but I haven't looked at those. If I find out anything, I will be sure to post it here.

Julie

I'm pretty sure that with Google Forms you can create a single Google Spreadsheet that can be linked to other google forms - so keeping everything in the same spreadsheet can last over many years...in terms of data collection, spreadsheets like excel and google sheets are really a useful (and usually free) tool.
