David,

Hi, Can I create infill able forms for members to return using
Group.io tools?
The only form-like tool in Groups.io is the Database.

You can create a table, and set the table properties so that members can view the table but not edit the table properties, and can add rows but edit only their own rows.

You can set how many columns the table has, and what type of information goes in each column. When someone adds or edits a row they see a simple "form" page with fields to fill in for each column's data.

A possible downside to this scheme, depending on your application, is that members will be able to see each others' rows. There does not appear to be a setting that will let them view only their own rows.

Thanks. In the end I put up an Excel file up, and asked members to fill it in , save as PDF file, and send to me.
Not very elegant and doesn't work if they don't have Excel.
Cheers
David

Lacking a built-in questionnaire function, I'd suggest sending a PDF fill-in form.

If you don't have Adobe Acrobat you can still take any existing PDF file and add text fields using online tools. One of them is (no affiliation).

Some folks who use the Restricted method for Spam Control instead use the Pending Subscription notice to send a questionnaire. Responses go to the +owner address and can be reviewed later by clicking the "+owner Messages" button in their member record.

Hope this helps,
Bruce
