Can I insert a hyperlink in a form?

Charlene Zelnis

Hello,

Has anyone inserted a hyperlink in a form? I want to insert a link to get travel policies before the user fill out the form.

Thank you,

Charlene

URL's can be entered into the description section of the form title.

They also work in headings.

Depends where the travel policies reside of course.

Hey @Charlene Zelnis

I have inserted hyperlinks in both the Description of the Form as well as the Field Help Text.

Can you modify the hyperlink to display a specific text, rather than the entire address?

Hey @Tim Howard

As Andrée indicated, within Smartsheet functionality it is not possible to edit the URL text that appears. However, as a work-around- if one first uses a URL conversion app, like TinyURL etc, you can make the URL more readable before you try to insert. This work-around also works in the Notification emails.

cheers,

Hi,

Adding link in the title box or description box use to work for me, but looks like it has been disabled by SmartSheet. Do you know any other work around that will enable me to add link in the form?

Thanks!
