How to show percentage of score out of maximum points
Formfacade does not have the option to format the calculated answer as a percentage. The workaround is to update the question title to inform that the calculated answer is a percentage value. For example, the question title can be "Score (in %)" To show the percentage of the score out of the maximum points, you can use the following formula in the Calculate option for the Score (in %) question (Score / Max Points) * 100 For example, if your total score field is named "Total Score" and the maximum points are 50, the formula would look like this: (Total Score / 50) * 100 Note: You must type @ and select the "Total Score" field from the list when adding the formula in the Calculate option for the Score (in %) field.

Hi, we are looking for a order system at work, and I have been trying out the food-template that you have. It works great, even for furniture! :) Once we decide whether or not to go forward with this, I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it possible to avoide the google log-in that pops up when you make an order? Most business account are not linked to a google account, and even though you can just “x” out the box, I believe it will make the customers confued. 2. Is it possible to link pictures to description in the “sold by color” category? Ie. We have a chair that is sold in both black and white, it would be great if when you click on black, the picture for this will come up. 3. Is it possible to change from my personal google account, to a professional google account? 4. How do I change the url? Thanks! Regards, Nathalie

Hello, I just subscribed to a one-month plan to manage Christmas orders for my little shop. Everything is quite perfect, I really like your tool, but I face 3 small issues for now: 1 - from where is taken the "sender" name when confirmation mail is sent? It looks it take the first page title, right? Any way to configure something else more generic? 2 - Is there any way to empty the orders trash? I did several tests, that are useless now. 3 - I've added a field in my form, to pick up the order at my shop, an appointment field. Working perfectly but in my confirmation mail, the output is not so nice for my customers: 24/12/2024 | 1732391506524 || 08:00 | 1733568773363 * 1. Any way to have only date and time? Last question but not the least :) I would like to have only one month subscription for Christmas, then if it's working well, I'll take a year plan. So, for my month from December 7th to January 7th, should I wait the January 7th to unsubscribe or if I already stop my subscription, my full month is usable properly? Thanks, Bruno

Hello, I am getting two errors on my form, when fully submitted, here are two screenshots: 1. Right at submit: https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI 2. Another error note, which also happens on submit: https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv Thank you!
Submit failed: Not able to update in google forms https://prnt.sc/C9idKb4uTbtI When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Formfacade and Google Forms. If there are any issues with submitting the form or recording the responses in Google Forms, we show an error message to the user and also send a notification email to the form creator. The submit can fail because there is an issue with the form, internet connectivity issue etc. The notification email will include the error message, draft id, link to the response (abandoned or submitted). If the draft id is prefixed with the *, it indicates that the response has not been submitted. If it is prefixed with a #, it indicates that the response has been submitted. If the error for response shows "Not able to update this response in Google Forms", then this indicates that the submit was successful and the response was recorded in Formfacade, but it was not updated in Google Forms. Google Forms might reject the responses if it fails any response validations (incorrect answers, missing answers for required questions) or if you have enabled any of the features that require signin such as limit to 1 response, collect email address - verified input, send response receipts, response too large etc. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details. Request entity too large error https://prnt.sc/d2hkzBekDrAv You have added 28 paragraph questions in your form. When the user fills the answer for these paragraph questions along with other required questions in the form, the resulting response exceeds the size limit supported by google forms. That's why you are getting the entity too large error. To fix this, you can add a response validation for these paragraph questions to restrict the max characters or you can enable the option to not record the responses in google forms. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the form title to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Form settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the toggle button for "Don't submit to google forms" and click Save. When this option is enabled, the responses will be recorded only in Formfacade.
