provide ability to add links in a Form

I have a case where when the user opens up the Smartsheet form, if specific conditions are met a link to a file should appear. Currently this is impossible to do. either provide the ability to easily put a link in a field within the form OR embed a form within a form would be ideal. With the link option, we should be able to provide a URL name and the link, the same way the Hyperlink functionality works within a Smartsheet.

I have this same issue where mobile users are taking more photos allowed in a single submittal. Being able to paste a link to a Box or OneDrive folder would be a great work-around!

There is an area when customizing a field to add hyperlinks under the "Help Text" section. We have a form for submitting results from product testing. The links are provided for testing procedures.

I'm unsure what kind of criteria you require for the link to display, but I would think the logic function of a Smartsheet form would get you there. If necessary, I would make a useless column/field to be able to show the help text (w/ hyperlink) based on met criteria.

I hope this is helpful and I understood the question correctly.

Thank you for this work around, it worked!

this works, but when the form is submitted and results mailed to the requester, the link goes away. While this is a step closer, it doesn't fully satisfy historical context

Based on the result of a field value, we need to be able to display a corresponding link. Not always the same link.

Hi There,

I've seen numerous threads about Hyperlinks withing various parts of Smartsheets but wanted to specifically focus on capturing a Hyperlink within a Form.

I use Forms with multiple folk in the organization and then update requests (scheduled or triggered) to ask them to keep data up to date.

Whilst CTRL-K works nicely within a Sheet/Grid it relies on a minimum of Editor access rights with the inherent licensing requirements.

It would be SOOOO useful if you could capture a Hyperlink within a Form?

I guess this could be done by having a column type 'hyperlink' that would appear on a form the same way CTRL-K does, a box for the URL and a box for the display text.

Some threads around Hyperlinks go back several years, is there an official view on this?

Have a great day!

Report Widget Capability - Drag & Drop to create Report Widget in Dashboard from Workspace Panel
Hi, I was creating new dashboard and thought it'll be so nice to have easy drag and drop Report widget capability from Workspace Panel since I always group set of reports under one folder (for ease of finding them what goes on the dashboard). I think this would be great time saver especially if you have similar name…
Resource Management Plan Settings in Control Center - add Client and Project Code fields
In the Resource Management Plan Settings in Control Center, there is no way to link the Client and Project Code fields even though they are not Custom fields and part of the first 3 fields you enter when creating a new project. I can't select them in the Custom Resource Management Information Fields because they are not…
Asset Sharing should default to View, not Edit
Since the license model has changed, the option to Share should default to VIEW, not EDIT. The View option allows less-experienced users to share that way by default, and share as Edit only when needed. This allows for less cleanup during true-up. This also prevents users from adding provisional licenses unknowingly.
