Webform - Comments on the bottom

Kawehi Marshall

On my webform it has a spot for comments (for the user), where do those comments go? they are not on my sheet - do I need to have a "Comments" Column???

Hello Kawehi,

You don't need to create a comments column in your sheet. Check the columns on the left side of your sheet grid, you should see a comments icon there that holds any comments entered. If you don't see the column, try right-clicking any column header at the top of the sheet grid and selecting Unhide All Columns.

EDIT: To make it clear—you cannot add comments to the comments section on the right side of the sheet grid using a form, but you can create a text field and title it "comments." This will add comments to a new column in the sheet grid.

Another tip too -- all row comments are aggregated at the bottom of the sheet under 'comments' tab.  Here you will see a count and when opening you can see all comments and even what row the comment is on -- can even click the row icon to go straight to it.

 

If you have highlight changes on in the sheet, the comments cell will also highlight.

Hold on.

Kawehi, are you using a Smartsheet Form or another web form?

Shaine & Michele, your answers imply that you can enter Comments (formerly Discussions) via a Smartsheet Form. How?

I am using a smartsheet - webform. I found all the comments. Thank you so much.

You cannot enter comments using a form—sorry for the implication! I'm going to edit my post to mention that.
