Quick Answer
Where do I see my form's responses?
Open the form's RESPONSES tab. Google Forms shows each response with a banner such as Not complete yet. Waiting for Finance to sign. Kanban board groups responses into columns: Abandoned, Requested, one per signer, Completed, and Rejected. Each column's menu has Notify respondent, Notify approvers, and Notify collaborators.
The RESPONSES tab shows the same responses in different ways. Pick the one that fits your task.
| View | Use it to |
|---|---|
| Google Forms | Read one response at a time |
| Google Sheets | See every response in a table |
| Kanban board | Manage requests by status |
| Responses by status, by email, Traffic source | Summaries |
Read a response
Google Forms shows one response at a time, as the form itself. Use the arrows to move between them, and the icons to print or delete.
If the form isn't sending responses to Google Forms yet, Submit to Google Forms at the top right sets that up.
The Kanban board
The board groups requests into columns. The columns for a signing form are Abandoned, Requested, one per signer, Completed, and Rejected.
| Column | What's in it |
|---|---|
| Abandoned | Forms someone started but didn't finish |
| Requested | Requests that have been sent |
| A signer's column | Requests at that point in the workflow |
| Completed | Requests your team has closed |
| Rejected | Requests your team has turned down |
Click a card for its answers and comments. Drag a card to move it, or use + STATUS to add a column of your own.
Finished signing doesn't move a card to Completed
When the last person signs, the card stays in that signer's column, and the Signed PDF card says Signed and completed. Move the card to Completed when your team has finished its own work on it. To know whether everyone has signed, check Track Requests, not the column name.
