You can use Google Docs to create your own customized signup sheet, or you can use existing templates to make the task even easier. All the files you create will be stored directly in your Google Drive account. Let’s dive into it.
Creating a Signup Sheet from a Blank Document
Open Google Docs
If you haven’t signed in to your Google account, this is the point where you sign in. Type in your Gmail email address, which is your one Google ID for all of Google’s services, including Google Docs and then type your password. Click the “Sign in” button to proceed.
Once logged in, you will see the main directory and if you already have existing documents, you can see and access them from here.
Create a new document by clicking the document with a plus sign. A new window or tab will open with a blank document of the web-based word processor.
Most signup sheets are tabular to make it easy to read and fill up. You will at least need to know how many columns or headers you will need for your signup sheet.
Click on “Insert” then select the “Table” option from the main menu bar. Click on the dimensions you need for the table based on the number of columns and rows you will need.
On top of the table (Where it is written untitled document), type in the name of the signup sheet. Is it an email sign-in/sign-out sheet, a volunteer signup sheet, or others? You can also add a description but this is optional.
On the first row of the table, put the column titles. Since this is a signup sheet, you will need at least a column for names. The other columns will depend on what else you need to be filled up.
Putting row numbers will make the signup sheet easier to count. You can have more rows since you may not necessarily know how many will sign-up.
When you’re done, you can just simply close the window or tab. Everything is saved. You can access your signup sheet file from Google Docs or Google Drive.

Making a Signup Sheet from Templates
Open Google docs, sign in and create a new document. Just follow the instructions as above for these steps.
Google docs does not have native templates. However, you can add some add-ons that contain the templates that you need. For this example, you need an attendance or signup template. Click the “Add-on” option from the main menu bar then on “Get Add-ons.” The Add-ons window will open.
Look for “template” by typing it in the search box on the top right corner of the window, and view the results matching your search.
Install the add-on. Click the “Free” button right beside the selected add-on. Most of them are free. The add-on will be installed to your Google Docs.
Click the “Add-on” option from the main menu bar again. You will now see the add-on you just installed here. Click on it, then click on “Browse Templates.”
The selected template’s details will be displayed. You can read its description to see if its purpose meets your needs. once the choice has been made, click the “Copy to Google Drive” button on the window. The template will be created as a new file under your Google Drive account.
On your Google Drive account, you should be able to see the file for the signup sheet you’ve just made as part of your files. Double-click on it to open it on a new window or tab. You now have your signup sheet.
All you have to do is edit the template according to your signup needs. When you’re done, just close the document window or tab since changes are saved automatically.
Signup sheets are used to collect attendance for classes and seminars, track visitors entering and leaving a business or organization, collect data on who is attending an event and why, and record employee hours at work or training events. These are just a few potential uses for a simple form that can provide highly useful information. Above is how to create one using Google Docs.

Sometime last year I wrote about the looming death of Microsoft’s most successful operating system. Today is Day 1 after the fact (yesterday 8 th April 2014 was Dooms Day). For a while, Microsoft has been screaming to all users of the legendary operating system to make the switch to Windows 7 and 8, even giving users tips on how to migrate. In my article, I highlighted why many enterprise users might turn a deaf ear to Microsoft’s advice.
As I write this 28% of all computers hooked to the internet are still happily powered by Windows XP. Many banks (including the ones I bank with), vending terminals and Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have not heeded to the Dooms Day warning. I was hoping that today, the vending machine outside my office which I conveniently use to pay most of my bills would be spitting out cash and giving me free airtime but alas! Having followed this closely, this is what we expect is going to happen over the coming months:
Dear Microsoft, REF: Request for Extended Support I have been somewhat skeptical that Microsoft (knowing how good they are at minting money) will pull the plug just like that. Considering the cost and risks involved in system upgrades many enterprises will request Microsoft for extended support. Actually the governments of China, Netherlands and UK have already signed contracts worth millions for legacy support. It looks like XP might have second life after all.
What the heck, things still work fine here What would life be without laggards? Some people are not impressed by the band wagon and as such, will continue to happily use Windows XP. If we had wider internet coverage in Africa, I bet that 28% figure would be higher. There will definitely be many laggards for a while to come. Also, in the continuous bid to keep costs low, many CEOs and CFOs will still be reluctant to approve their IT departments’ proposals for the upgrade. After all, the systems still work right?
Migration to Windows 7 (and may be 8) This is the logical thing to do considering that XP will no longer be supported (for most users). Enterprises have been working around the clock to ensure that their operating systems are compliant. I was impressed to know that the forex rates display terminals in one of the banks I use were powered by Windows 7. As expected, we hope to see more enterprises especially those that run critical services like the banks deploying other operating systems.
It looks like Microsoft has had alternating degrees of success with its operating system releases, that is, Windows XP was good, and Vista was bad. Windows 7 was good and 8 was…
That said, the adoption rate for Windows 8 will not be as high as that of 7. Comparatively Windows 7 is enjoying 48% while Windows 8 and 8.1 is 6% and 5% respectively. It might take a while for users to adjust to the completely new design of Windows 8. Some users will probably never upgrade to Windows 8 considering how annoying they find it. Another death threat from Microsoft might do the trick although that won’t be happening any time soon.
The Open Source option Who needs an expensive operating system when you can get one for free? Over the years the Open Source boys have upped their game. Linux is no longer for just the geeks. The likes of Ubuntu and SUSE (not forgetting Android) now come with sleek windows systems and user friendly experiences that might give Mac and Windows a run for their money. Even with all these advancements, we don’t expect so many people to migrate to Linux. Save for the mobile space where Android is the run-away power house, there will still be more users migrating to Windows 7 (and maybe 8). One or two might migrate to Mac.
Hackers Day Out We expect that hackers will figure out how to exploit all those vulnerabilities that will be left behind now that there won’t be any more security patches for download. Users might now need two anti-viruses to protect their systems from crashing under the load! On the bright side, there might even be a black market site to get unofficial updates. This might be good business for the pirates.
A trip to the museum When all is said and done, the ultimate end will surely come. For now, I can’t say when that will be. Microsoft will finally archive XP and in its bid to give back to the community and also in the spirit of open source we should see some Windows XP repositories for download somewhere on the internet.
We expect XP to join MS-DOS 2.0 in the Computer History Museum where it will now belong to the ages . Windows XP has had an excellent run with a lot of success and although Microsoft has brought an end to it, the end has not yet come for many die-hards. The legend lives on.
