Google Docs is a very versatile and useful word processor available on a web browser and as an app. If you're running a meeting, project, or event, you can use Google Docs to create your own customized signup sheet. If you're using a computer, you can even use existing templates to make the task even easier. This wikiHow will show you how to make a signup sheet on Google Docs using your computer, iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
Things You Should Know
Name the signup sheet. On top of the table, enter in the name of the signup sheet. Is it an attendance record, a volunteer signup sheet, a sign-in/sign-out sheet, or others? You can also add a description.
Enter column headers. On the first row of the table, input the column titles. Tap each square, and then enter the title. 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.
Enter row numbers. It will make the signup sheet easier to count if you put row numbers in front of each row. Start with 1 and continue until you reach the end.
Create a new document. Click the multicolored plus sign at the top of the page. A new window or tab will open with a blank document.

Install the add-on. Click the “Install” button right beside the selected add-on. Most of them are free. The add-on will be installed to your Google Docs.
Open your add-on. Click Extensions → Add-ons → select your add-on. Depending on your add-on, you may need to sort through available templates, and then click Copy to Google Drive. The template will be created as a new file under your Google Drive account. [1] X Research source

Open the signup sheet. Access your Google Drive account. You should see the file for the signup sheet in the recent files. Double-click on it to open it on a new window or tab. You now have your signup sheet.
Edit the signup sheet. Edit the template according to your signup needs. You'll be able to change anything on the template.
I wouldn't use Google Docs, but Google Forms instead. Once they have signed up, all the data will be imported into one Google Sheet, and you will be able to view the data there.

How do I make like a sign up sheet that just has a bunch of blank lines on it where people simply write their names?
