Project plan updates and forms

dbealer47361

I am using SmartSheet for a project implementation and want to issue alerts using the Forms functionality.  How can I include predecessor information for each of the tasks I want owners to update via Forms?  Currently, I can provide the users with a listing of all tasks, however they may relate to a predecessor task that includes a summary description.  When I send out an alter it is included in the listing they are provided, however each row appears as a separate entry 'form' for users to update when they attempt to submit updates after selecting the Open Update Form link.  Is there another mechanism I should be using?

Hello,

The sheet is the best way for people to view the dependencies between tasks. With that being said, you might consider adding another text/number column to your sheet that contains information on the predecessor task.

You can lock this column so people can't change the information from an update request. More on locking columns is available in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/522077-locking-unlocking-columns-and-rows
