Attachment at the end of generated documents

For my application, we would need to have the option to add the line's attachments at the end of the generated document. I use Smartsheet for my RFI: I use a form to collect the questions and other data and I then automatically print the answer with the "generate document" tool when the question is answered. It works well, but if there's an image or a pdf attached to the question, I have to manually save it and merge it to the generated document.

Please add this functionality! :)

How do I upvote this? I see what appears to be a lot of searches for this ability.

I also would love to have a document library that could be used to send PDFs throughout an onboarding process or offboarding process. We need to have a signed document for compliance, and we cannot use DocuServe b/c of security limitations. Being able to automate this process would be a game changer for us!

Thanks Smartsheet -- you keep making things better, and it's appreciated.

This would be a great functionality. As part of form creation the users can take and upload photos. The only downside is that I cannot attach these to the generate document functionality. This could be aided by being able to add files/ photos at more than one stage of a form so you could route accordingly.

I would upupvote this as well. For the time being if you insert an image into a cell and map it to an image in the Fillable PDF it should shown up. A bbit Tedious but it should work. See the post here

for RFI, Punch List, Expense Documentation, etc. this is a must have. Since images can only be added to forms as attachments, we should be able to insert images from attachments to document builder.

I’d be ok with having a column in the middle. We can view latest comment as a cell, why not attachment?

I would love the ability to take form uploaded images and embed them in the Document Builder PDF. I'm using this for mobile Media Release consent forms and would like the reference photo snapped of the subject via the form to be applied to the built PDF of their signed release.

But can we get an attached image into a cell so that it can be mapped?? This seems to only work for images you manually insert into cells in the sheet, rather than images uploaded via a form.

Attachments in Cells
I rely heavily on Smartsheet’s Document Generation. However, this workflow is currently dependent on having photos stored inside cells, since row attachments alone cannot be used directly in document generation.. If Smartsheet allowed attachments to be displayed as thumbnails in cells (as a reference), document generation…
Form Upgrade to Pull In Data from Another Smartsheet Source
It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to have data pull into a form from another Smartsheet source based on selections made within the form. Example: On the form there is a dropdown to select a client property number. The property Name, Address, and any additional property information are then pulled into the…
WorkApp Analytics
I’d like to see user analytics for WorkApps. I’ve checked the user report available in the Collaborator Pack, but it only shows how many times someone has clicked into the WorkApp each month. I’d like to know: Which resources (dashboards, sheets, forms, etc.) are getting the most traffic? Where are people spending their…
