Creating a basic form

The Forms application is relatively straightforward to use. In this section, we'll create a basic form to collect user information. To create the form, follow these steps:

2. If this is your first time signing into Forms, click the Create a new form button on the splash page. If you've logged into Forms previously, you can click the New Form button on the dashboard, as shown in Figure 14.1:
