How to build a simple survey using Google Docs

Today I discover the new feature of the Google Docs spreadsheet, and I think it would be cool to share the process with the others:

So first of all, you would need a Google account. Duh. Then now go to the Google Docs page and create a new spreadsheet. It will open a window like this:



You don't really have to put anything into the spreadsheet, unless you want to. The survey almost take cares it all. Now click on the Share tag on the top-right corner, you will see a prompt for naming the spreadsheet, and after that, you will see a window like this:



You can check the "Anyone can view this document at". It will generate a link to view the document. By doing that, you can let people to see the result without even publishing the document. But for people to view it without the Google account, you will still have to publish it. Then now check the "to fill out a form" option, and the page will become like this:



As obvious as it shows, you can now "start editing your form". A new window will show up, and you can edit the form in the several ways. Here's a sample one I just made:



After you done playing with the form, click the "choose recipient" button, and now you can specify who would like to survey:



Finally, click the "invite people" button, then you are done! The recipient will get an email with the survey and once they fill it out and submit, the answers of the survey will automatically transfer to spreadsheet, very neat, isn't it?



By now I hope you understant how to do it on your own!
