On Screen Alert if Conditions Not Met?

johnvilsack

Is there a way to alert the user when, for example, they check a box, but other conditions are not currently being met?

I see I can send emails and Slacks and whatnot, but I just want something to appear on screen.

Thanks!

Hi John,

You can use conditional formatting for this.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!

We use to have validation messages in MS Access, I have not seen this feature in Smartsheet. Like the reply says above, you can raise a visual alert by changing the formatting of the row, or a cell instead.

You could also set up an IF function to display a word or phrase in a column based on the validation - but it isn't the same as an onscreen validation message.

Good question btw!

Kind regards
