We’re excited to announce the launch of Forms as the newest Spreadsheet.com View type. Now you can quickly create shareable and embeddable forms using Form views in worksheets, where each form submission becomes a new row.

With Form views, each Spreadsheet.com worksheet can have any number of forms associated with it. For example, in a Candidates worksheet you might want to create an Application form for accepting new applicants from your public website, and an Employee Referral form for accepting employee referrals internally.
When creating a form, each column in your worksheet can be used as a form field. Branding your form with a custom logo and background color is also available, as well as adding text blocks for description elements.
