Incorporating Pictures on Forms

Leah McKeough

I am wondering if it is possible to add a photo selection in the Smartsheet form. For example, we are trying to create a patient satisfaction survey. We think it would be easier to show the patient/form user a picture of their doctor instead of the doctor's name. Is it possible to make a dropdown or multiple-choice selection of pictures?

Not that I know of or can find. You could, however, put a link in the help text of a field that they could use to see the doctors on your website, if you have that resource. Not the smoothest or fastest, but it may be enough. Opening the link does not disrupt filling out the form, it opens a new tab.

In theory, if you had just a landing sheet with doctors and their names, you could shortcut this a bit.

On the negative side, if you were to use pictures in the actual field, the row height would be relative to the size of the picture and make harvesting data a bit of a headache. Know from experience. You also don't want images in normal fields that you want to use as data, as they render no filterable or harvestable data, you'd have to do everything by manual sorting, I believe.
