Use the Google Documents wizard

 

  1. Click the Doc Action button in the toolbar at the top of the form.
  2. In the wizard that pops up, select the Save to Google Documents button.
  3. Enter your login credentials.
  4. After your login has succeeded, the wizard will show the list of Folders (Collections) available. Sub-folders are not listed in the folder list.
  5. Select the collection you created earlier (Leave Approvals).
  6. Choose a name for the Submission Folder. This name should be unique for each submission. The best approach is to choose a combination of controls in the form that will generate a unique name. For example, if your form contains controls named EFulName and StartDate for employee's full name and start date of the leave, then choose: {EFullName}_{StartDate}.
  7. Click the Finish button.
  8. Your form is now configured to save submissions to your Google Apps account.
