Can we pause when filling out a Form?

Susan Vieira

I am creating a Smart Sheet with a lot of data that will be populated via a form. The concern with my team is that if they get interrupted when filling out the form that they will not be able to continue. We have lots of fires to put out so it is highly possible that once started someone may have to step away urgently and be unable to complete the form in one sitting. Does the form time out? And if it gets closed accidentally? What are our options?Thanks!

Hi @Susan Vieira

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to pause, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, they could submit but as long as it's not complete you could have an automated Update Request sent so they can continue/complete it.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you! I will pursue an automated update request for empty fields and see if that could work. And I will submit that enhancement as well!
