Free Student Data Entry Form – HTML Form to Google Sheets

R42 is a student data entry form that does two things an ordinary sheet-linked form does not: it checks the entry before it sends, and it lets you add several students in a single submission instead of reloading the form for each one.

Several students at once

Entering a class one student at a time is the part that makes form-based data entry tedious. Here the form takes multiple student entries together and writes them all through to the sheet in the same submission, so a batch of admissions or a whole section goes in as one action rather than twenty.

Validation before anything is written

The fields are validated on the form itself. A blank required box or an entry in the wrong shape is caught and pointed out while the person is still looking at the form — not discovered later as a half-empty row in the sheet that nobody can trace back. Sheets will accept almost anything you send it, so the checking has to happen on the way in.

Your own HTML, not a Google Form

The interface is a plain HTML page you control: your field order, your labels, your layout. Google Apps Script carries the submission through to the spreadsheet, and the whole thing runs as a deployed web app on a link you can share.

Pointing it at your own records

It is written around student entries, but nothing in it is specific to schools. The fields and the columns they write to are set in the code, so the same form handles staff, members, patients or stock lines by changing the field list and the matching headers.
