Creating Different Update Request Formats

I send update requests every day. However, when I send them, I have to keep removing some of the columns as those that I remove are not necessary for the person to see.

Is there a way that I can save an update request format with those columns removed so I can quickly choose the right formats for the specific person I am sending to without having to remove the columns every time?

If the "Update Request" format you want is specific to each person or a group of people, it may be better for you to use the "Alerts & Actions" tab to create an "Update Request" based on an "Assigned Column". This will automatically send Update Requests based on your specified Rules & Delivery Settings. Once you get to the "Delivery Settings" you choose which columns you want to appear & how often you want the Update Request to automatically send. Please see attached photos. If you need further instruction, I'm happy to help.

I guess I will have to upgrade to Business or Enterprise to get that feature!

Thanks for your help. I will have to convince my TL to upgrade!

Speaking from experience, the upgrade to Enterprise really makes things easier. You have access to a lot more bells & whistles.

Can we run the request for update to include all the rows that applied to one condition?
We want to know if it is possible to send request for update in one email, but with multiple rows at the same time. For example, staff A has 4 open referrals, I want to send one request for update automatically to them where they will receive only one email without having to overload them daily with all the open referrals…
