Auto-numbering from Forms

Hi Neil,
Unfortunately, there isn't, but a workaround could be to collect the information and then send them the reference number automatically with the help of "Alerts & Actions"
Would that work for you?
I hope this helps you!

Hello Neil and Andrée,
Thank you, Andrée, for giving that workaround! As Andrée mentioned, at this time, Smartsheet does not support this functionality; however, I've let our Product team know about your request.
Due to the large number of variables they have to consider when choosing what to develop next, we can't confirm when or if this will be built, but we have let them know.
You can also let our team know about your interest under the "Submit Product Enhancement Request" link on the right-hand side of this sheet under Quick Links.
Kind Regards,
Alison

Thanks Alison and Andrée, that should work for now. Be great if it was a function added in the future.

Neil

Hi there-
I utilised a automated work flow to send a generated number from the smartsheet. once the form was uploaded, an automated email to the 'requested by' cell allowed an email to be sent with an unique number,
hope this helps. :0)

Hi, I want to use a form on smartphone to log items find on the work floor with so called Red Tag session. Found items need to be marked with a number. Would be great if the auto number would be known when opening a line in the form, or at the bottom when form is filled.
Any update on this subject?
BR, Vincent

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to see the auto-number in the form, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment
As a possible workaround, you could have a dashboard showing the current auto-number together with the form or to see it before you fill in the form.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Hi there, I am hoping someone can help: as smartrad did above, I need to create a workflow where respondents receive a number generated from the smartsheet once their response to my form has been recorded. How do I set this up? Can someone share a similar image/snip construct of the workflow? Steps?
