Smart logic

3 questions appear only when an earlier answer makes them relevant, so people never see questions that do not apply to them.

The document it creates

Every response becomes a ready made lease application document laid out in the Elegant design, as a PDF or Word file. It is saved to your Drive in a folder for this form and attached to the respondent's copy of their answers. The document then goes straight to e-signature: the respondent signs first, and you can add yourself or other signers. With Pro you can switch to your own Word or PDF template.

How to use it

  1. Use the template. It opens in the form builder with the Elegant theme already applied.
  2. Make it yours. Change questions, logic, colours and fonts. The live preview shows exactly what respondents will see.
  3. Publish and share. Copy the link, embed the form on your website or download its QR code. Responses arrive in a table with charts and exports.

Legal and consent templates are a starting point, not legal advice. Check the wording for your situation and location.
