Customize "someone has mentioned you in a comment" email
Hi,
The automatic email that comes when someone tags you in a comment could be opened for customization to include other fields from that row. It would be helpful in case there are other workflows that modify the row (e.g. moving it to a different sheet).
Thanks.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Agreed! This is much need. For a comapny-wide competition, I want to use Smartsheets to collect votes. I want to make it so that if someone selects their department in Dropdown 1, they can't also vote for their own Department in Dropdown 2, because that field would not appear. Is that currently possible?
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
@Cleversheet , in the end I did go that route and seperated out into 2 fields with the subset selection being different for each and just skipped putting it all into one field. The smartsheet in question has alot of fields and i was trying to keep the data all in one field. We have 2 forms for different purposes but the selections where all in that one field so i was hoping i could just filter instead of adding new.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
DocuSign, Laserfiche, Excel, OpenOffice/LibreOffice Web plugisn, AirTable, FastForms, JotForms, SurveyJS, Monday, Formstack, Connecteam, Trello, Asana, Atlasstian, Jira, ServiceNow, and many more now support this.
Smartsheet is now the sole Project Management software on the market that doesn't have this support. It could've been the first, when this request was submitted. Now, it's the last.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Almost every form I build would benefit from cascading dropdowns, often multiple. As noted above, it is highly tedious and often prohibitive to require multiple columns for what should be able to be captured in one column. In many cases, it requires upwards of a 1/2 dozen columns between the different groups and data consolidation helper columns. Multiply this over several datasets within a single form, and you rapidly diminish the number of rows that the associated sheet will accommodate.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
I've been addressing this with logic in my forms, but on a much much smaller scale. It it already cumbersome on a small scale. It's terrible that clients are walking away from Smartsheet because of this missing feature. My client is also utilizing other products (Form Assembly) because of the missing features in Smartsheet's forms. Very unfortunate.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
We just lost a health services client moving to Smartsheet over the lack of cascades for a massive survey they want to do. We did find a solution with zoho forms/analytics if anyone is looking for that.
Definately do want to be able t obring them home to Smartsheet one day!
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Yep. The issue is , this gets dirty fast for large data sets. :(. We use Enterprise level addons, etc, now for this client and they're paying upwards to almost $100 grand a year for Smartsheet for a few users. They have ended their interest in Smartsheet to go to a competitor that supports cascades natively. Our other clients are still on SS. Just cascades are a "will be really nice" feature for a lot of things. We're currently building out a proof of concept for an energy company that wants over 164 variations of cascades.
Re: Outlook Add-in: Favorites Showing Blank
We continue to see this product not keep pace with the changing vendor/security playing field. When will the plugin be fixed so we do not have to make our exchange environment less secure?
