Forms and entries

Hello everyone
I recently created a Smartsheet form with a sheet used as a central repository to gather all data entered by users. At its basic form, a user opens the form and enters data about a request. The data go directly into a repository sheet. From there the analyst looks that the data and contacts the users via email or SMS. This process is working fine but there are times when a user contacts our local on-call number to make minor edits to the form they recently submitted. While this is not a difficult task, its time consuming.
As such, is there a way that the user can go back into the form they submitted and make edits? Looking to see if they can access the same form via a number or code or some sort of way to make edits. Would like to accomplish this with given them access to the repository sheet.
Thanks.

Great question! This gets asked a lot. Unfortunately a user cannot return to a form. Not for editing their previous entry, nor can they save half way through and return to complete it.
There are Product Ideas regarding this that you can upvote to help gain attention by Smartsheet's development team.

Thanks Ray. I think this would be very useful going forward in the evolution of Smartsheet. Similarly to tracking a package in Amazon, when a request is added, a user may want to edit the request, cancel it, or event track the request. Where can I upvote a request like this to gain more traction?

At the top of this page is a link for Product Ideas where you can search for existing ones to upvote, or if one doesn't exist you can create your own. If you create your own, feel free to share the link here and I'd be happy to go upvote it.
