Google Docs or Google Docs is a versatile and handy web-based text editor. If you're running a meeting, project, or event, you can use Google Docs to create your own custom sign-up panel, or you can use a pre-made template to make the job easier. Either way can be done easily on the Google Docs website, and the file you create will be saved directly to your Google Drive account.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Create registration board from blank document

1. 

   Access Google Docs. Open a new browser tab or window and go to the Google Docs home page.

2. 

   
   
   Log in. Under the Sign In box, enter your Gmail email address and password. This is the Google ID account used for all Google services including Google Docs. Click the “Sign in” button to continue.
   • Once logged in, you will be taken to the home directory. If you already have documents available, you will be able to see and access them from here.

3. 

   
   
   Create new documents. Click on the large red circle with the plus sign in the lower right corner. A new window or tab opens with a blank document as a web-based word processor.

4. 

   Insert table. A reasonable registration sheet is usually presented as a table for the user to easily read and fill. At least you need to know how many columns or headers your sign-up table has.
   • Click the “Table” option in the main menu bar and select “Insert Table”. Click the table size based on the number of columns and rows you need. The table will be added to the document.

5. 

   
   
   Name the registration board. At the top of the board, enter the name of the registration panel. Is this a participant registration board, volunteer registration form or login / logout panel, etc.? You can also add a description if you want.

6. 

   Set column headers. In the first row of the table, set the column heading. Since this is the registration table, you need at least one column for the names. The other columns will depend on which area you need to fill.

7. 

   Set the line number. The table is easier to count if you add a number before each line. Let's start from 1 to the end. You can leave more lines available as we don't yet know how many subscribers will be.

8. 

   Close document. Once done, simply close the window or tab. All information has been saved. You can now access your registration from Google Docs or Google Drive. advertisement
