Question on collecting data from a group
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2021 11:07 pm
I have done a search of the forum with terms that I thought might be relevant, but the results were not actually relevant. I apologize if I failed to identify the proper search terms.
I would like to be able to collect data from a group of people. I understand that LibreOffice can create forms that connect to Base. Perhaps it can do so for Calc as well. (I am not sure that I need Base for my purposes, but the searching I did seemed to result in posts concerning Base and mentioning Calc.)
I would like to be able to create a document that people could fill out. I would like to make that document available to the group of people. (Perhaps email the document to them or allow them to grab it themselves from google drive or some other source. Maybe just a common source, like taking it from an app all group members have access to download it from.) I would like to collect their responses as smoothly as possible.
I appreciate your time and any assistance.

- Can I share a form and have the recipient's completion of the form collect the data for me? Meaning, I would look at a completed Base file or something and would not myself need to look at or handle their form.
Can I share a form and have the recipients return the form to me after they have completed it... and then dump the responses to the form in a Base file? This requires someone to look at or handle their form in some way to get the responses in the Base file.
