Form Builder, the Stanford Web Forms service, currently relies on AFS, and UIT announced Google Forms as its replacement in January 2020. Google Forms is a secure, easily-managed web forms solution that provides many of the same features and functions as Form Builder.
UIT retired the Form Builder service effective July 30, 2020. If you’re a form owner and you need to access data submitted through your forms, you may still do so when logged into formbuilder.stanford.edu through the end of 2020.
UIT recommends using Google Forms to create new forms. Google Forms is a secure, easily-managed web forms solution that provides many of the same features and functions as Form Builder. For more complex form creation, Qualtrics is a secure and supported alternative.
These features include the ability to:
You have two options to be able to view a Google Form:
Option 1: Make sure you are logged into your Stanford account, not your personal Google account. Follow these instructions on how to switch between your Stanford and personal Google accounts.
Option 2: If you still are unable to access the form after logging into your Stanford account, contact the person who created the form or who sent it to you. They may need to change the permissions setting for their Google Form.
The Advanced Forms Notifications Add-on for Google Forms gives you the ability to send custom email notifications to form respondents and to the form owner after forms are submitted. Follow these instructions to install and set up the Advanced Form Notifications Add-on.
