Google Docs is a very useful web-based multipurpose word processor. If you're having a meeting, starting a project, or running an event, you can create a custom registration form in Google Docs. In fact, you can also use the available templates to make the job easier. You can easily create your own registration forms or use templates from the Google Docs website, and the files you create will be saved directly to your Google Drive account.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Creating a Registration Form from Scratch
Step 1. Open a new tab in your browser, and visit the main Google Docs page
Step 2. Enter your Gmail email address and account password into the "Sign In" field
Your Gmail account can be used to access all Google services, including Google Docs. After entering your account information, click the "Sign in" button to continue.
Once logged in, you will see the main directory page. If you have created or uploaded a document, you can view and access the document from this screen
Step 3. Create a new document
Click the red circle with the plus sign in the lower right corner of the screen. A new window or tab showing the word processor will appear, and the word processor will load a blank document.
Step 4. Insert the table
We recommend that you make the registration form in the form of a table so that it is easier to fill out and read. At the very least, you should know the number of rows and columns you will need to create the form.
From the main menu bar, click "Table" > "Insert Table". Then, click the table size based on the columns and rows you need. The table will then be added to the document
Step 5. Name your form at the top of the table
In addition to the name of the form (eg registration/attendance/permission forms), you can also include a description if desired.
Step 6. Write the column headings in the first row of the table
When creating a registration form, you should at least include a name field. After that, you can add other fields as needed.
Step 7. Number the lines to make it easier for you to count the number of participants
Start at number 1, and work your way up to the end of the table. You can create as many rows as you want because you don't know how many people will likely attend.
Step 8. When you're done editing the document, close the Google Docs tab or window
All your changes will be saved. You can access the forms you create via Google Docs or Google Drive.

Google Docs doesn't provide templates by default, but you can add add-ons containing the templates you need. For example, in the wizard, you would use a registration form or timesheet template. Click the "Add-ons" option from the main menu bar, then select "Get Add-ons".
Step 5. Search for add-ons containing templates by entering the keyword "templates" in the search bar
This search bar is in the upper-right corner of the window. Then, pay attention to the search results.
Step 6. Install the add-on by clicking the “Free” button on the right side of the add-on window
Most of the add-ons you can use for free. After clicking the button, the add-on will be attached to Google Docs.
Step 7. Browse the list of templates
Click the "Add-ons" option again from the menu bar. Now, you will see the add-ons you just installed. Click add-ons, then select "Browse Templates".
Step 8. Click "Attendance" from the template gallery to select a timesheet template
The name and preview of the timesheet template will appear. Choose one of the templates you want to use.
Step 9. Copy the template to Google Drive
Details of the template you selected will be displayed. Read the description to make sure that the template fits your needs. In the same window, you will also see a larger preview. After deciding on the template, click the "Copy to Google Drive" button. The template of your choice will be copied to a new file in your Google Drive account.
