Welcome Microsoft Forms!
Forms has been available to people and businesses running
Office 365 since April this year and from my experience it’s another great web
app included in Microsoft SaaS platform. PLUS, its GDPR compliant
Forms gives you the ability to create powerful online polls
& surveys from your web browser and then to be able to rapidly deploy these
via a few mediums. Responsive? Of course, Forms can be viewed from any device
whether it’s a fixed desktop or a mobile on the go.
Let’s dive in, to look how quickly we can get a form with a
few questions and then share this form to our target audience.
- Log in directly to Forms (https://forms.office.com)
- Select
New Form
- Enter
a title, description and start building your form
- Here
is a form that took less than 5 minutes to generate
- Looks
plain? Change the Theme
- Final
step, share your quiz/survey to your audience (Direct Link, QR Code, Embed
or Email)
So, as you can see within 5 minutes we have created a form,
added questions of different varieties, changed the colour scheme/theme and
then shared it. Its simplicity allows you to quickly create content which can
yield powerful results however in its simplicity it does lack the customization
you may find with a direct competitor.
Overall, Microsoft Forms is a powerful tool which can be
utilized to maximize any persons or businesses investment in Microsoft Office
365 solution.
