Have User Filing Out Form Include Clickable Hyperlink

Brian Campbell

Hello,  I am trying to see if there is a way to have someone completing a form to be able to include a hyperlink to where a file is.  It would then come onto the Smartsheet so someone else could click on the link to get to the file in a shared drive.  Many of the files we work with are too large for attachments and a clickable link would be very useful.

 

Thank you

Hi Michael,

How..... I just tried and it was not clickable?

What was the link? Where did you add it?

Brian Campbell

It was a link to a file in a shared file, I copy and pasted it into a form before submitting it as a test.  Then when I checked the cell on the smartsheet it was not clickable.  Is there some type of special setting that needs to be set up or done a different way?

 

Thank you

The link has to be a web link and not a local link. Was it a local one?

Brian Campbell

Local, it is from a shared drive in a folder.  So it can only be done with websites and such?

Unfortunately, yes!
