Is there a way to track the inventory to know when we run out of something? I am piloting this in our school so it would be great if I could put in the number of products that we start with & as things are ordered, the inventory decreases. If that is possible, how do we add more inventory once we run out?
Enable inventory You can enable the inventory option for a product and enter the available stock. Neartail automatically keeps track of the product orders and updates the available stock. When the stock becomes zero, the product is marked as sold out. Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > In the Neartail Edit page, click on a product to select it > click on the settings gear icon for that product > Product settings page will be displayed > click Advanced > enable the inventory option and update the available stock. Inventory report Currently we do not have report specifically for inventory. If you have enabled inventory, then you can use the Sales by product report to view the quantity sold, number of orders for a product and the available stock. Login to Neartail > click on the form to open it > Edit page will be displayed > click Reports > In the Reports page, click Sales by product > sales trend report will be displayed > click on the table icon in the bottom right corner > For each product, it will display (x sold, y orders, z left) where x = the quantity sold, y = number of orders received for that product and z = the available stock for that product. You can click on the print icon in the bottom right corner to print this report or save it as pdf.
the videos aren't syncing to my google drive anymore? just randomly stopped sending them to my google drive, how do i fix?

My customers always receive the following message when submitting the form : "Error: Not able to update this response in Google Forms. Submit it again. Contact owner, if this error occurs repeatedly." I dont know what I could change to avoid it? many thx Can y
Hi Nicolas, You have hidden a required question "Votre enfant est-il gardien?" in your form. Please mark this as an optional question or delete this required question in your form. This will fix the submit issue. Please try this and confirm. Notes for your reference: When the user submits the form, the response is recorded in Neartail 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 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 Neartail, but 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. You might have also noticed that sometimes Google Forms throws a "Something went wrong" error without giving any additional details.

I have 15 questions using multiple choice, all with the same scoring. Yes +2 No 0 Unsure +1 I am using a Short answer to calculate the score. I am using this formula SCORE(ALL, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) When I do preview and answer all 15 questions 'Yes', I expect the score to be 30. Instead the score is 17. I did it a second time and the score is 85. What have I done incorrectly?
Hi James, you can use the SCORE(ALL, 2, 0, 1) formula to assign points and calculate the total score. The above formula will assign 2 points for the first answer choice, 0 for the second answer choice and 1 for the third answer choice for all multiple choice, checkboxes and grid questions. Please note that the above formula will also assign points for two multiple choice questions (number of employees, organization's readiness) in the first page. If you would like to assign points only for the questions in the second page, then add a short answer question in the second page with the SCORE(SECTION, 2, 0, 1) formula. This will assign points only for the 15 multiple choice questions in that section and calculate the score. I'd recommend you to use the Formfacade Assign points addon to add score calculations in your google forms. For detailed instructions, please refer to the links below. Calculate total score (add points for all questions the form) https://formfacade.com/calculate/assign-different-points-for-each-answer-in-multiple-choice-question-and-calculate-total-score.html Demo video https://youtu.be/zberDwRdLv8 Formfacade - Assign points addon https://workspace.google.com/marketplace/app/formfacade_assign_points/706030115252 You will have to use the Formfacade share link to collect responses. Otherwise, customization and score calculations will not work. When the user submits the form, you can view the responses along with the calculated scores in Formfacade Responses page as well as Google Forms. You can also sync responses to Google Sheets. Note: We have renamed the "Scorecery" addon as "Formfacade - Assign points" addon.

Created a form linked to google sheet, while checking tho output there seems to be a difference between the order for user in the dashboard, report and output in google sheet. if i understand correctly, it seems that the information that goes out in the report is the up 2 date one. it seems like the update of an order is missing out updates in the order summary for user and in google sheets (for both item removal and quantity updates) if you look into it please use extreme caution, as this is a test on a real order that is about to be finalized when i noticed the inconsistencies
You can edit a submitted order to update the order quantity for existing items or add new items or remove existing news. The updated order details will displayed correctly in Neartail Orders, Reports and the data exported from Neartail Reports to google sheets. Note: If you are syncing the google forms responses to google sheets, the items deleted from the order will not be removed from google sheets.
How can I stop email notifications to respondents when their order is moved to the 'Completed' column? I have emails being sent for a couple of other statuses, which I would like to keep, but I no longer want that particular status email to be sent.
Currently Neartail does not have the option to disable email notifications. This feature is part of the roadmap. If you would like to disable the emails for the Completed status, please share the link for your form and we will disable it for you.
hi (: what is the difference between combo, set menu, and meal plan?
Combo, Set menu, Meal plan are some of the most commonly used customizable products. So, we added Sold as Combo, Sold as Set menu, Sold as Meal plan as a product type with the predefined options / validations to make it easier to add these products. For example, if you would like to set up a Set menu that allows a customer to choose their preferred Entree, Main course and Dessert, then you will add these as three customizable options. Entree: Soup of the day, Garlic bread, Caesar salad Main course: Pan fried salmon, Risotto Dessert: Tiramisu, Cheesecake, Chocolate fondant Users will have to select one of each to place their order. To implement this, you will disable the allow multiple selection option and set the min, max selection to 1 for the each of the three customization options. This is the predefined configuration when you select Sold as set menu as the product type. Set menu order form template https://neartail.com/order-forms/restaurant/set-menu.html

My current account is OFF and I have only had the $16/month subscription on for about 2 months out of 12 in the last calendar year… why am I being charged AHEAD for the next year?

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.
