Enhancement Request: Rules for Manual Update Requests

Now that we can create rules for automated update requests (and BOO! that it requires a Business license. Boo! I say!) it may be more feasible to add rules for manual update requests.

Selecting 3 columns out of 50 is a pain in ass (ie time consuming). Retyping the message is also annoying.

What I want is to set up Manual UR Rule(s).

Later I want select a row or rows and then pick from my list of previously set up rules to fire the UR.

This request has also be posted to the Form

    I second that boo! It would be so great if we could set up a method for choosing from a pre-determined default grouping of columns and pre-set messages to recreate the delivery preferences without having to manually select the same columns over and over.

    Submitted the following request: 

    It would be great if, for a sheet, a user could select the default group of columns that go out with notifications and reminders. Meaning, that any notifications or rules would start with the default selection. I have several columns that are just for my own personal tracking purposes and our constituents do not need that data. Every notification or reminder I create makes me have to edit those columns/fields to make sure only the pertinent columns are sent. Having a default group within the notification center of each sheet would make setting up notifications significantly faster. Its not to assume that the entire row should be sent with each notification. 

    yes

    I like that too!

    When I do the same UR over and over again, I feel like I'm repeating myself.

    I hate repeating myself. Even worse, I hate repeating myself.
