Saving Form to Row

Good afternoon SM team,

Are you doing well?!

What would be a great addition to the SM platform is, if you complete a form, for that form to be attached to a specific row. It would assist in audits whereby you have to give prove of the form that have been completed.

This would be super cool.

Best regards,

Hi @Riaan Kotze

I hope you're well and safe!

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

Use the Document Builder feature to save it as a PDF to the row.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi @Andrée Starå, we have tried that way, but it is not quite what we need. The actual form that was created with its questions and answers need to be saved on submission. The actual template that was created in that specific way.

I don't not if I'm clear in my explanation.😅

I understand. The other option would be to print the row / save it as a PDF manually; otherwise, it would be a great addition to have it automatically created from each submission instead.

Agreed that this would be an excellent backup for form inputs!

Using SS forms is a great way to collect and process the data, but it's a challenge to prove control over the original content without a locked backup.

Printing does not work especially if you have a dynamic form. We currently have to email to ourselves and then send to our customers. The ability to see the completed form would be a great asset. Currently any reproduction/reprint shows all fields that were N/A in the original completion

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..

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…

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.
