Creating an Alert for Attachments

Ryan Greer

I'm using a Form to collect data that is populated in Smartsheet, and the form asks each user to include an attachment with their submission.  I'd like to be able to mandate that the form cannot be submitted without an attachment OR set up an auto-notification to the user submitting the form to submit an attachment if that field is left blank.  So far it doesn't seem like either of these options is possible, can anyone help?

Hello Ryan,

You can require users to upload an attachment when they submit an entry to your form by doing the following:

1. Open the Form Editor
2. Click on the File Attachments field
3. Check the "Required Field" box
4. Save your form.

Thanks!
