allow users to add section to request amounts and total them
something like:
blue widgets needed - #
red widgets needed - #
green widgets needed - #
Total widgets = # blue+# red+# green

I agree. Even though a record is not actually created until the form is submitted, if the column has a column formula or uses any sheet summary fields, they should still be operational as a form is always attached (subordinate) to a sheet.
This may be difficult to achieve if the formula uses @cell (not sure). But if there is any restriction, then didn’t allow such columns to be ‘pre’ calculated or selectable in the form.
Along these lines, any conditional formatting from the sheet (for input or calculated columns) could also be allowed to flow through to the pre-submitted fiom.
It would be great if you were able to use a column formula column in a form. For example, I have an IF statement that defaults a cell value to "N/A" if a condition is met in the previous column. That column is used in document mapping to show the end viewer of the PDF that the cell was not applicable.
I'm creating a system for tracking CAD requests in an R&D department. One of the features of the system is that it tracks the average duration by task type dynamically. As each task is marked complete, the calculations happen automatically.
I'm using a form for request intake. It would be nice to have the form show the average duration for a specific task once the user selects the type of task they are requesting. The form also has a field for the date required. I'm instructing users to consider the average duration when the select this date so that it is realistic. At present, I have the metrics displayed on the dashboard with a big note next to the widget that takes them to the submission form.
If they forget the number or don't bother to look, they will have to go back to the dashboard and then return to the form to be able to fill it out properly.
Assuming a sheet has a column “available slots remaining” that calculates a beginning number minus total slots submitted by forms. If a form could show the calculated value of “available slots remaining” from the sheet. For instance if there is going to be a class with 20 slots, it would be helpful if the form showed “15 available as of..” then provide a time stamp of the last time the sheet was updated. (Or w/o the time stamp, I’m just trying to address the issue if multiple people happen to open the form at the same time. To add to this, as mentioned on other comments on this idea, if it can could take the # of slots the submitter wants times a cost per slot could be calculated on the form to be seen prior to submitting.
Although we are extremely proficient when it comes to reducing load on our smartsheets (we use pivot, data mesh and data shuttle extensively), we still find ourselves hitting capacity limits (mostly because of the number of columns in conjunction with some pretty complex formulas). Breaking up data between sheets and…
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
