Collect lets you create powerful survey forms with different types of questions, rules, and validations. You can either create a new survey or do an XLS form import to create the survey. 


XLS form is a universally accepted form standard created to help simplify the authoring of forms. You can read more about xls import to understand how it works. In this article, we will discuss the steps you can take to do an XLS form import.

Step 2. Here you see two options, "Blank form" or "Import XLS form" to create a form. Click on "Import XLS form".
