Forms

Ask someone, and it arrives as data.

Every other way into Glance starts with something you already have — a file, an inbox, a photo. A form is for the data that doesn't exist yet. Write the questions, send the link, and the answers come back as rows waiting for your say-so.

An answer becomes a row

1You ask Iris for a form: weekly stock count, six lines.

2You send the link to whoever does the counting. No login for them, and no seat to pay for.

Watch an answer become a row

Nothing a stranger types is data yet — it's waiting on you.

Riverside Roasters — price checkWaiting for you
Bean & Barrel — price checkAccepted → now a row

Every answer sits here until you accept it, reject it, or erase it. There is no "accept all".

What happens, step by step

Six steps. You write the questions and you approve the answers — everything between is automatic.

You write the questions

Pick a dataset, choose from eleven kinds of field, and add a response cap or a closing date if you want one.

You send the link

No account needed on their end — it opens like any web page, in their own language.

They answer and submit

A hidden spam trap and an invisible human-check run in the background. Nothing gets through that isn't a real person.

Their answer lands in a queue, not your data

Nothing is added automatically, no matter how many come in.

You look at each one

Accept it, reject it, or erase it — one at a time, on purpose. Accepting in bulk is how the one you'd have caught goes through with the rest.

Accepted answers become ordinary rows

Same dashboards, same goals, same morning briefing. A form is a door, not a separate filing cabinet.

A form for whatever you're missing

The same eleven field kinds, whoever you're asking.

For you

"What did we actually spend on the trip?" — send the link to whoever was there and stop chasing screenshots of receipts.

For your business

Send the link to your three suppliers and their prices land as rows in your dashboard — no spreadsheet round-trip, no re-typing.

For your company

A weekly figure from every outlet, one link each, landing in one place — instead of a reply-all thread nobody reads to the end.

Send a link. Get the data.

Pick the columns you want filled in and Glance makes the page for them. Your questions, no account for the other person, nothing for them to install.

The person filling it in needs nothing

No login, no app, no Glance account. They open a link, answer, and close the tab. It works on a phone on a building site as well as it works at a desk.

Eleven kinds of question

Short text, a paragraph, an email address, a number, a date, a time, a date and time, pick one from a list, pick several. Plus headings and dividers, so a long form can explain itself instead of reading like an interrogation.

The options come from your own data

When a question is "pick from a list", Glance offers the values that column already contains. That's how you avoid a form asking for "Complete" while every row you already have says "Done".

Nothing is added until you accept it.

Answers land in a queue, not in your data. You see each one and then accept it, reject it, or erase it — so a stranger's typing never quietly becomes a number you go on to make a decision with.

One at a time, deliberately

There is no "accept all". Accepting in bulk is how the one row you would have caught goes through with the rest of them.

Reject and erase are different buttons

Rejecting keeps the answer so you can see what you turned down. Erasing wipes it — for when the person who sent it asks to be forgotten, which they have every right to do.

Then it is ordinary data

An accepted answer is a row like any other. It feeds the same dashboards, the same goals, the same morning briefing. A form is a door, not a separate filing cabinet.

It tells people who is asking.

Every form names the business collecting the answers and links to your privacy notice, in the reader's own language — because someone typing their details into a page has a right to know whose page it is.

Consent is asked for by default

If your form collects anything about a person, they tick a box before sending — and the exact wording they agreed to is recorded with their answer, so it can be shown later. You can turn it off for a form about things rather than people.

Six languages, automatically

The form reads in the language of whoever opens it, including right-to-left Arabic. You write it once in yours.

Only what you asked for is collected

No hidden fields, no tracking pixels, no analytics on the people who fill it in. The questions on the page are the whole of it.

What a form is not

Glance is not a website builder and this is not a landing-page tool. The page is fixed and Glance-branded — you choose the questions, not the fonts. If you want a canvas, there are good products for that, and this isn't one of them.

Forms are on every paid plan. Free plans don't have them, because a page anyone on the internet can write to is a responsibility rather than a feature.
