Form function for SmartSheet

Peter Smith

Hi, 

 

I have smartsheet to record each building general meeting info, such as building manager, meeting date, building name. In each meeting, we need to prepare meeting supplies (there are around 30 items, such as pen, projector, binder..). 

I would like to use smartsheet "Form function". Then link is created and I can send to building managers to fill in.

In the form, I must show 30 items , however, it will make the form very long. May I ask is it possible to set up sub category in form  (e.g., in the form, there is computer item sub category, under sub category, it has projectors, laptop, small printer...), so if building manager does not any computer item, they can quickly to see next category.  

Thanks

Hi Peter,

You might consider describing the sub category items in your form using the field help text. Details on this are in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/522221-using-web-forms#editwebform

Otherwise, if you need categories and sub categories to appear dynamically, I'd recommend checking out Google Forms. You can build a dynamic Google Form and sync that information with a sheet: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1850129-smartsheet-sync-add-on-for-google-forms#sync
