Forms and QR codes

Sidonia Posteuca

Just wondering if any of the following are possible.

1. Can I set up logistics within a form? For example, I want to create checkbox options that depending on what the person checks, a new field will appear. That way, people are only filling out what pertains to them and all other columns are hidden (and will only show up if they click a checkbox that prompts more information).
2. Can I set it up so that each time a form is submitted it generates a QR code (create a generated column in the sheet but instead of an auto-number, its a QR code)? That way, this QR code can track the progress of that line item all the way through. (I.e. Each form submission is an order for a kit that is tracked from the time it is submitted, under review, shipped, and installed). And every time that QR code is scanned it would update the status in the Smartsheet.

Hi Sidonia,

I think a solution can be developed with the help of third-party service like Zapier or similar.

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

No, I have not looked into any of the add-in programs recommended.

If you are using browser Edge, you can generate the QR code quite easily. You copy the link of the Form (Share form, tab: Link) to the browser. Them you open context menu of the page (right click of your mouse) and than choose: Create QR Code for this page.
