cant figure out how to add the option for a customer to add custom text for a specific product for personalization
You can add a customized product with a set of predefined options and allow users to select their preferred choices. Currently, Neartail does not offer the option to collect open-ended text, such as a name, jersey number, etc., for customizable products. The workaround is to add a paragraph question below the order summary section in the form. Users can enter any customization requests such as name etc when they place their order. In the Neartail Edit page, click on the + add question icon > select Paragraph question > enter the title "Customization Requests". You can keep this field as optional so that users choose to answer if required.
I have an imported an existing Google Form into Neartail but a lot of the Neartail features are missing e.g. configure categories/navigation page, very limited options on the sidebar when adding the next widget. It is as limited as a Google Form which is really frustrating! Why is this?
If you have created your form in google forms, you can use the Neartail addon to add calculations and enable payments. But, if you would like to use all the order form specific features that Neartail supports, that you should use the Neartail templates to create your form.
Hi, I just want to know if it's possible to change the saved card for payment method. No questions about the form.
Yes, once you subscribe to the paid plan, you will have access to the customer portal to update your card and mange your plan.
I am trying to create a quiz in forms that is four parts of 10 questions each and then create a score in each of those four areas using a likert scale. Trying to figure out how to configure the score to report the four different scores.
Hi Rhonda, There are two ways to set up your form. #1 If you are planning to create a multi-page form with separate pages for each of the 4 areas, then you can choose to use the POINTS(SECTION) formula to calculate the section score. Open your form in google forms > click on the addon icon > click Formfacade - Assign points > click Configure score and follow the prompts to assign points. Calculate Section Scores Add a short answer question at the end of each section and use the POINTS(SECTION) formula in the Calculate option for that question to calculate the section score. Instructions below. In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the last question in the first page in your form > click on the + add question icon > a new question will be added below the selected question > enter the title "Section Score", select Short answer question type > click on the settings gear icon > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > enter the POINTS(SECTION) formula in the Calculate option > select Hidden for the Appearance option and click Save. Repeat the steps for other sections in your form. -x- #2 If you are creating a single page form with all the questions for the 4 areas in the same page, then you can assign categories to different questions and calculate the category scores for each areas. Assign points, category In the Formfacade Edit page, click on a question to select it > click on the settings gear icon for that question > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > assign the points for different answer choices > click Score category, enter the category name (For example: Communication) and click Save. Repeat the steps for other questions in the form. Calculate category score In the Formfacade Edit page, click on the + icon to add a short answer question > enter the title (For example: Communication score) > click on the settings gear icon for this question > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > enter the following formula POINTS(CATEGORY, "Communication") in the Calculate option and click Save. Note: The formula for calculating the category score is POINTS(CATEGEORY, "category_name") where category_name is the category assigned for the questions. This is case sensitive; the name included in the formula must exactly match the name assigned for questions. You can calculate as many category scores as needed.

I shared forms with other people to view the responses and it will not allow them because it says the free membership is over. I pay for the app. so why do they have to pay? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi Kira, The subscription is linked with the email account used to subscribe to the paid plan. Only that account can be used to create the form and collect responses. You can add collaborators to provide access to your team. Please note that the collaborators will have to subscribe to the paid plan using their email account if they would like to continue using it once their trial ends. Note: If you just need to provide access to the responses, you can sync the responses to google sheets and add your team as a collaborator in google sheets so that they can view the submitted responses. Similarly, you can add them as a collaborator in your google drive folder with the signed documents.
it dosnt show options to choose
Hi Mahmoud, If you open your form in Google Forms, click on the addon icon and select Formfacade (or any addon) immediately, sometimes only the Help option will be displayed in the menu. This is a Google Workspace issue. Please try clicking on the addon icon a few mins after opening your google form (once the form is loaded); Embed and Customize menu option will be displayed.
Hi there, I have a linear scale form that has successfully calculated each section's scores using Points(SECTION). Now I'd like to add a final 'Total score' at the end which calculates the points from each of those sections. In the preview, it successfully shows the score of each of the sections but does not sum them. I have followed the instructions on your FAQ pages but no luck. I hope you can help. Also, I have a custom Submit message based on this final summed score which I have configured (it's not yet working bc it's reliant on score function working) but I wonder if there was a way to have a custom message at the end of each section based on that sections score as well, like it is possible at the 'Submit' stage? Thanks! Haley
HI Haley, you can either use the POINTS or SUM function to calculate the overall score. Login to Formfacade > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Edit page, click on the Total score question > click on the settings gear icon for this question > Question settings page will be displayed > click Answer > enter POINTS() in the Calculate option and click Save. Once you fix the total score formula, the conditional message work well. Instead of POINTS, you can also use the SUM function. Syntax SUM( question#1, question#2, question #3, ...) where question#1, question#2, question#3 are questions you want to add. You must type @ and select the required field from the list to include them in the formula above. Currently Formfacade supports conditional message based on total score only. We do not have option to setup the conditional message for each section score.
If I purchase now. Can I cancel my subscription at a later date. Or do you have a lock in period?

Hi Jodi, Neartail is a paid product with a 7-day free trial. You get the first 20 responses free during this trial period. If you would like to collect more than 20 responses or continue using Neartail after the trial ends, you will have to subscribe to the paid plan.
The google sheets are not showing the normal 3 tabs of Order Summary, Line Items and Order Details. I don't know if it's because I created the form by clicking the Neartail extension on a pre-existing form in Google Forms and then once it made a copy in Neartail, I finished creating the form in Neartail. Please advise how to sort. Thank you!
Hi - If you used the Neartail templates to create your order form, then you will also be able export the Neartail Reports data to google sheets in the following format. When you sync the Neartail reports to Google Sheets, we create three sheets. (1) Order summary: This includes the customer contact details, amount and other fields in the form. (2) Order lineitems: This includes the order lineitems data. You can use the pivot table option on this sheet to create the aggregate reports you need. (3) Order details: This includes the quantity ordered for the products in each order. Each product will be added as a column. For products with variants, each variant will be a separate column. If you customize the existing google form using the Neartail addon, the data synced to google sheets will be in the same format as google forms sync to google sheets. All the fields in the form are included as columns and each row is a response. The responses will be synced in real time.

I am unable to make a copy of a form that I have created - when I click on 'make a copy' I get the message 'form could not be created'. I have since tried to replicate the form by re-creating it but I can't get it to work in the Safeway
You have created your form in google forms and customized it using the Formfacade - Assign points addon. Since you have removed editor@formfacade.com as a collaborator form this form, you will not be able to make a copy of this form in Formfacade or make edits using the Formfacade Editor. There are two options. [1] Make a copy of this form in google forms and the customize it using the Formfacade - Assign points addon to add score calculations. [2] Add editor@formfacade.com as a collaborator in google form > click on the addon icon > click Formfacade - Assign points > click More options > click Customize or Update to sync the changes with Formfacade. You can then try to make a copy of the form in Formfacade.

How to share google form
Hi Shirish, you can add collaborators to provide edit access to your team. Collaborators have the same permissions as form owners. If you would like to share the google form with your users to collect responses, you can click on the Send button in the top right corner and choose to use url, embed or email option to share the form. Note: If you are using our addons such as Formfacade, Neartail, Formesign, then you will have to use our share link to collect responses. When the user fills the form and submits it, the responses will be recorded in our Responses page as well as Google Forms.
Good morning, I am unable to get the amount due section to calculate.

Why is my account asking to upgrade?
HI Michael, there is no active subscription linked with your account. Your subscription could not be renewed on 25-September and the subscription was automatically cancelled since the subsequent retries failed as well.
Hi not a problem just a couple questions. -Is it possible to add hidden info to an item that allows for sorting in the back end, such as a supplier where the item would be sourced from? -can it be set up so the order can be edited by the buyer after it is sent, and then same order resent?
Set up suppliers Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Neartail Edit page, click on the product to select it > click on the settings gear icon > Product settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable supply chain option > enter the supplier code and click Save. Repeat the steps for other products. Once you have collected the pre-orders, you can use the sales by supplier report that shows the order quantity for each product by supplier. Edit orders When you set up the confirmation email, you can enable the option that allows the user to edit the order and participate in the workflow (view order status, update and message). Please note that this will allow the users to update the order any time. If you would like to enable this option, please follow the instructions below. Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Orders > In the Orders page, click on the three dots more icon next to the Submitted status > click Notify respondent > setup wizard will be displayed > select the email field from the list, enable "Allow respondent to edit response & participate in workflow" option and click Next > update the subject and click Next > update the message and click Next to complete the set up. When the user places their order, a confirmation email with the edit response button will be automatically sent. Instead of enabling this edit option, I'd recommend you to just send a confirmation email. If the user would like to edit their order, you can edit it on their behalf. This will allow you to have more control over when the orders can be edited.
Question: If the google forms already have an Addon option will this new add on throw off the other add on in place?
If you are using other addons that dynamically update Google Forms, they may not work well with Formfacade, as edits made in Google Forms will not sync in real time. If you are using other addons that work based on submitted responses, they will work well without any issues.
I'm confused about the pricing. For example it says for basic for Customized UI its $8 per month billed annually. So which is it? Am I paying $8 a monthly or am I paying $96. And them underneath it says $16 per month, billed monthly. What is the price and when am I paying?
Hi Nicci, if you choose the Customize UI monthly plan, you will be charged $16 per month. The subscription renews automatically each month, and you can cancel at any time. If you choose the Customize UI annual plan, you will be charged $96 when you subscribe. Annual subscription is a 12 month commitment and it is non-refundable. You get a 50% discount on the monthly plan pricing. When you cancel your subscription, it will be valid till the end of the subscription period.

cant sync this form to neartail. please add option sync this form to neartail tq
You have created your form in Neartail. You must make the edits directly in the Neartail Editor.
Hello Support, I have a form with 10 unique items on it; each can be purchased multiple times (between 1 and 5 inclusively). There is also a discount which was tallied into the pricing chart for the item as shown below. Quantity Price 1. 30 each 2 27.5 each 3 27.5 each 4 25 each 5. 25 each In the following examples, I have certain expectations which I am not finding to be true so I am expecting that I am not doing my calculations correctly which may or may not be possible within the application: 1. If a customer buys 1 of item 1, they should be charged $30. This is true. 2. If a customer buys 1 of item 1 and 1 of item 2, then they should be charged $60. This is also true. 3. If a customer buys 3 of item 1 and 1 of item 2, the math changes. They should be charged $77.50 for item 1. They should be charged $30. The total they should be charged is $102.5 dollars, but I either get a total of $27.50 or $105 as I am not able to calculate a subtotal for the individual items. My logic would be as follows for a single item which would give a subtotal for a specific item which I tried to do in one of the add on fields for the item: IFS(QUANTITY < 2, 30, IFS(QUANTITY < 3, QUANTITY * 27.5, QUANTITY * 25)) When a total is generated, I would expect to add up all of the subtotals: ITEM_1 + ITEM_2 What I am seeing at the end is the overall quantity of items for all options which doesn't work out well for calculating the correct price. Hence I would see 4 which would result in a net total of $100 for my example which is a lost of $2.50. Can you explain how to tally up this form correctly? Or provide a KB Article that explains this in more detail as the articles I did see along with the documentation about the different fields isn't as helpful as I would hope for.
HI Marie, When you enable the bulk discounts option, you must specify the amount for different quantities. Since you have set up the unit price (see below), the calculations are not working correctly.

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.
Does this add-on allow a Google Form to be embedded into a website if the file upload feature is part of the form?
Yes, you can use the Formfacade addon to embed a google form with file upload on your website. Google Forms file upload requires login. You must customize your google form using the Formfacade addon to convert this into a html file upload to allow users to upload files without login. You can subscribe to the Formfacade - Embed paid plan. This plan is suitable for occasional light use cases that require collecting files. You get a 10mb max size per file with a total file storage of 1gb. Only the form owner can access the files one at a time after they login with their google account. Formfacade - Embed https://formfacade.com/embed/pricing.html If your requirement is to collect large files and collaborate with your team, you should also subscribe to the file upload plan 10gb, 100gb or 1tb. You can increase the max file size to up to 1gb per file (depends on the plan), the number of files per file upload question, restrict file types, enable unlisted links to allow anyone to access the files, add collaborators to provide access to specific users and use our addon to sync the uploaded files to your google drive.
