Google Apps Updated with Notification Settings and Google Forms

Google Apps Updated with Notification Settings and Google Forms:

Notification settings and more in the latest Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps:

The latest versions of the Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps include several new features that make working on your mobile phone or tablet easier and more efficient. Check out some of what's new below:

Notification settings in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps

As of last November, you can receive mobile notifications when a Drive file is shared with you or someone requests access to a Drive file you own. Previously, the only way to disable those notifications was via a setting in Drive. With this launch, we'll allow you to enable or disable those notifications from the Settings menus in the Docs, Sheets, and Slides Android apps as well.

View existing Named Ranges in the Google Sheets Android app

In Google Sheets on the web, you can name a range of cells so that they're easier to keep track of and find later and to simplify the process of creating formulas. With this launch, you can now view those named ranges and quickly navigate to their locations in the Google Sheets app for Android.

New Google Forms now the default option, with improvements to add-ons, script editing, and more

Today, the new Google Forms will become the default option for Form creators. This follows our launch from last September, where a revamped Google Forms was released as opt-in-only until we could add additional features and functionality. Once launched, Form creators will be redirected to the new Google Forms whenever they create a new Google Form.

To opt-out, users may click the "running man" icon in the bottom left-hand corner.

Here's a summary of the latest improvements:

Form Add-ons and Google Apps Script now supported

Form creators will be able to use add-ons and edit scripts in the new Forms editor. Popular tools like Form Publisher and g(Math) for Forms have helped creators extend the capabilities of Google Forms.

View individual responses from the editor

In addition to the summary of responses currently available in the Forms editor, creators will now be able to see individual survey responses as well. This will save valuable time when analyzing Forms. At the same time, if there's so many responses that there may be performance issues, Google Forms will let users know how to visit the responses separately, instead of slowing down the editor.

Google Apps Updated with Notification Settings and Google Forms

Use Templates from the Google Forms home screen

Work and Education-related templates will become available on the Forms home screen to jumpstart your Form creation at forms.google.com.

We currently have several templates for event feedback, event sign-ups, job applications, and more. Users can click on the More link to start a form from any of the newly created templates.

Your domain's existing templates are still available and can be found at drive.google.com/a/google.com/templates.

Google Apps Updated with Notification Settings and Google Forms

Get notified for every form response

Form creators will now be able to configure Google Forms to send them email notifications whenever someone responds. The default is set to off, but users can enable it from the form's settings menu. 

Google Apps Updated with Notification Settings and Google Forms

Track responses to your Google Form

Form creators will be able to see who they've sent their forms to and who still needs to respond. There will also be a new option to send out follow-up reminders as needed.

Limitations

Responders will only see the new Google Forms for those forms created or edited in it.

To opt out and go back to the old Google Forms, simply click the running man icon in the bottom left-hand corner of the Google Form and follow the prompts.
