Feedback forms (external)

For the internal Toolbox form feature, please see the page Feedback forms.

From your toolbox, you can link to Google Forms (or other providers) to collect comments or ideas from your users, or to get and grade teaching feedback.

See the video below about this feature, and after it, learn how you can use special links that pre-fill some pieces of information that the users already added to their Toolbox (name, email, job role) to make it easier for them to fill your form.

How to prefill the form with user information 

This applies to the "Google Forms" service.

When your form is complete and ready to go online, from the 3-dots menu select "Get pre-filled link", see screenshot:

In the new empty form, start filling the fields by using the following keywords:

  • TABLE 
  • Keyword |Will be replaced with: 
  • TBX_USER_EMAIL |The e-mail address of the user.
  • TBX_USER_NAME |The name of the user, as filled when signing up or in the Settings page.
  • TBX_USER_JOBROLE |The job role of the user, as filled when signing up or in the Settings page.
  • TBX_USER_SPECIALTY |The specialty of the user, as filled when signing up or in the Settings page.
  • TBX_USER_DOMAIN |The current toolbox domain (trust or hospital).

All keywords are optional. Leave empty the fields the users need to fill themselves.
After that, click on the "Get link" button, then on "COPY LINK" to copy it:

Finally, place this link in your page. Type a link text, select it, press the "link" button in the toolbar and paste the URL address:

After you save the page, clicking on the link will open Google Forms with the information of the current user pre-filled -- both on the website and in the app.

Notes:
  1. The users are not required to fill all pieces of information. If for example the used didn't select a specialty, the field will be empty or "none".
  2. The user can modify the fields in the Google form.

A similar configuration can be done with other form providers. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know at support@dr-toolbox.com or you can fill our pre-filled Google form. :-)
