Frequently asked questions about Forms

2021-09-16/in Employee, English, Forms, Microsoft 365, Student

How do I find Microsoft Forms?

To access Forms go to www.m365.umu.se.
Sign in with your Umu-ID.
Select Forms in the left menu. If you cannot find it there, select All applications and then Forms.

What is the difference between a form, quiz, and poll?

A form is a traditional survey where you collect data on people’s opinions and experiences.

A quiz reminds of a survey but allows you to choose right or wrong answers for the questions.

A poll consists of shorter questions that can be used before, during or after a Teams meeting (Link to “Make a planned poll in a Teams meeting” & “Make a spontaneous poll in a Teams meeting”) or in a channel in Teams (Link to “Make a poll in a channel in Teams”).

What is a group form?

A groupform is when a form is created within an already existing group (team) and is handled in the same way as if it was your own forms portal. This provides the possibility of easy editing and work within a group.

What is preview?

The purpose of a preview is to see what your form/quiz looks like before you share it. When previewing the form, you can try to fill it out to make sure it looks and works the way you want.

See manual: Preview and share a form

What is branching and how can I use it?

With branching you can add a subsequent dependency on the previous answer. If you were to branch question 1 in your form to question 3, it would mean that the respondents who answered question 1 would be moved to question 3. Question 2 will in turn be skipped.

You can add branching to all questions, but also to sections or options in a question.

What is a section?

Sections are used to group your questions in categories or themes such as work environment, equality, and safety. Sections are useful when you are creating a large form with many questions.

What questions can I use in a form or quiz?

There are 8 different types of questions:

Choice is used to give the respondents predetermined answer options. You can use it for a yes or no question but also add over 100 options.
Text is used to let respondents write an answer to the question.
Rating is used to let respondents rate a statement. You can choose levels from 1-10.
Date is used to let the respondents answer the question by choosing a date.
Ranking is used to let the respondents evaluate answer options against each other and rank them in the order they want.
Likert is used to measure attitudes and opinions from a predetermined scale.
File upload is used to let the responded answer the question by uploading a file. The files will be gathered in a folder in your OneDrive. The accepted file types are Word, Excel, PPT, PDF, video, and audio.
Net Promoter Score is an index that ranges from 1-10. It is most often used as a standard proxy by organizations to measure customers’ willingness to recommend their products or services to other. (Similar to rating).
