I am trying to make a sheet and a form that will allow me to notify different people from different departments to make sure they get the correct information. Can this be done and if so how.
Please let me know
Hi Justin,
Can you provide some more information on your our specific use case?
Best,

You can create multiple forms for each sheet. But the forms themselves don't send data, they just allow users to input data. To deliver data you could send notifications to people, or you could share reports that show only their data.

I would like to be able to have the form information that is created and when a person hits send from the form that we created go to a different department such as the following:
We have a form for drafting and it goes directly to a person in drafting.
Also we have another form that is requesting us to place an order will it go to that person.
This would all be from a Master sheet.
Is there a way to set up the notifications to the certain departments based on which form is used?
In essence, yes. You could have a contact column that they populate with an email address. Or you could have the form auto-populate the contact field and make that field hidden in the form. Then when they submit the form the notification could be set on that email address, when a new row is added or based on any number of criteria. You would designate the contact address from the form itself.
How can you get rid of the uncategorized land in a report timeline view?
Please help! I understand that we can't customize the gantt chart bars anymore if it is a parent row but why am I getting random colors on the bar view in my report? I would prefer it remain grey. The first picture is the Smartsheet and the second one is the report pulling from the sheet.
Trying to understand why we don't have the option to remove a status by automation. For example, when external customer approves a proof, it fills in "APPROVED BY CUSTOMER" which then triggers automation, but the existing status of "SENT TO CUSTOMER FOR APPROVAL" remains as I cannot set automation to do that.
