Can a Form have multiple entries and have them display as multiple lines on the smartsheet?

Walter Mootz

I have a form I'm using as a maintenance work order log.

I have them fill out a form, which in turn fills out the order log. Is there a way to have them enter multiple parts and descriptions and have them populate on multiple lines in the smartsheet order log?

If they do have to enter a form entry for every part they want under the same work order, is there a way to program the sheet to group them together via tabulation or color coding so we know all parts go together on one?

You can see from my screenshot that i have multiple parts ordered for a specific equipment number, I want those to be grouped together without having to do it manually every time. If that's possible.

I appreciate any help in advance.

Thanks,

Hi @Walter Mootz i

I've developed a two form solution where you add the primary information to the first and when submitted form two loads and that one reloads after each submission.

I then have conditional formatting set up in the sheet to split the different main submissions.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

@Andrée Starå - can you share the example, I need to track items that were ordered and each order can have multiple items.

@Andrée Starå I'm looking to set something up that is similar to this use case. Please let me know how I can get see your workaround that you've built out using multiple forms. I sent over an email last week with regards to this subject.
