The PMR is a tool that will hopefully provide a glimpse into the heart. It gives the resident a chance to share the highs and lows of the week and to express any concerns or questions he/she might have. The PMR is customizable, there is a base template, but questions can be added or removed per the resident’s request. For some, this tool will be the primary way to get a look into the heart; for others, you might get one-word answers. Either way, the PMR is a helpful tool and should provide talking points for your individual coaching calls.
Here is a step-by-step guide to creating a PMR for each of your residents:
***Coaches can use this link to create their own PMR as a Google Form.
***Be sure to make a copy of the PMR form for each resident. If not, their responses will compile into one, giant spreadsheet and become hugely confusing. It also means you can't share the response page with the worker. Reviewing these responses after a season of support raising can be extremely insightful for a worker.
Once created, follow these instructions:
Use your Reliant email address and Toolbox password to log into Google Drive
THEN use this link to make a copy of our sample PMR.
Once copied, rename the form after your field worker.
Now, you will want to:

View live form:
Click to see the form as your field staff sees it.
To send the PMR to your field staff, click the Send Form button on the right of your PMR.
This will give you the option to copy/paste the link to the live form or send a Google email with the link.
View Responses:
To access your field staff's weekly responses, you'll first have to set up the spreadsheet where you want those responses to go.
From the Edit Form screen, click the "View responses" button. This will create a new page. This is where you find the responses your field staff will put into their form.
Rename this spreadsheet to reflect your field staff's name - so you don't confuse spreadsheets from multiple field staff.
Activate Notification Rules so you get an email when your field staff completes their PMR form. Here’s how to do that:
Click “Responses” then select “Get Notification for New Responses”
Edit Questions
These Google PMR forms can be customized for each field staff's needs. Some might want accountability in a particular area (i.e., checking Reliant email weekly). Feel free to add those as questions to their PMR.
When introducing the PMR to a field staff, it is helpful to look through and decide together if any customizations are needed.
When editing a question, it will look like this:
Edit by clicking on the question. This is done through the Edit page, not the live form or the responses spreadsheet.
