Can the Dynamic View form submission allow new entries to appear at the top of your Smartsheet?

I know this option is available in Smartsheet, but when you enter a form through dynamic view there is not an option to have new items to go to the top of the sheet.

    Hi @Paul F

    What you could do is either link the dynamic view to the report and then use a helper column called created date and sort it by that. You can still add to the original sheet but then it adds in the view to the top?

    Hope that helps.

    Kind regards

    This would work, but I would still like to have the option like a form in regular Smartsheet. That would be the best solution in my eyes, not just a work around.

  • Agreed. It's unclear why this option is not available in Dynamic View. Sometimes it seems like 2 different companies created the regular Form and Dynamic View Form features, based on how differently they work.

    The ability to add to the top is especially useful as you often want to see in the Dynamic View the most recently added items.
