Google Docs is a very useful and versatile word processing program to be used online. If you need to organize a meeting, project or event, you can use it to create a custom signature sheet. Alternatively, to facilitate the procedure, you can also use existing templates. In any case, it is possible to perform both operations very easily on the Google Docs site itself. The created files will be saved directly to your Google Drive account.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Create a Signature Sheet Using a Blank Document
Step 1. Log in to Google Docs
Open a new browser tab or new window and visit the Google Docs home page.
Step 2. Log in
In the box indicated, type your e-mail address and password to log in. You must enter the ID you use for all Google services, including Google Docs. Click on the "Login" button to proceed.
Once logged in, the main page will open. If you already have saved documents, you will be able to view and access them on this page
Step 3. Create a new document
Click on the red circular button containing the "+" symbol located at the bottom right. A new window or tab will open that will allow you to view a blank document within Google Docs.
Step 4. Insert a table
To get a good result, it is advisable to create a sheet with a table, so that it is easy to read and fill in. You need to know how many columns or headings you need to create the sheet.
From the main menu bar, click on the "Insert" option, then "Table". Determine the size you need by considering the number of rows and columns needed. The table will then be added to the document
Step 5. Name the sheet
At the top of the table, type the title of the sheet. For example, is it an attendance sheet, a collection of signatures for a volunteer or other type of operation? A description can also be added.
Step 6. Enter the column titles
In the first row of the table, type the column titles. Since this is a signature collection, you need at least one column to enter the names. Adding more columns depends on your compilation needs.
Step 7. Enter the row numbers
If you type the number of each row, it will be easier to count the signatures. Enter the numbers in ascending order up to the last row. Since it is not always possible to predict how many people will sign, it is possible to insert more files.
Step 8. Exit the document
Once the process is complete, you can simply close the window or tab, as all data will be saved automatically. You will be able to access the file via Google Docs or Google Drive.

This will show the details of the selected model. You can read the description to understand if its function meets your needs. A larger preview will also be shown for you to examine better. Once you have made a decision, click on the "Copy to Google Drive" button, which appears in the same window. The template will be saved as a new file in your Google Drive account.
