    Hi @AJ Sawant

    Thank you for clarifying, I see you posted this question again here, which helps explain further.

    No, there currently isn't a way to have the directed URL after a form submission be dynamic and change based on what the user chose in the form. You can only set one URL for all form submissions. Please provide your feedback to our Product Team, here!

    Depending on how many different filters you have, you could add different Headers into your form. Then as users select options from a Dropdown list, you could have these Headers appear using Conditional Logic, like so:


    This is how it would look when one selection is made:

    Would this work for you?

    Cheers,

    Hi @AJ Sawant

    Headers are an option to add into your Form from the left side in the Form Builder, under Form Elements:


    Then you can add custom content as a Heading and as a Description on the right:


    Once the field has been added, you can use this in your Conditional Logic. See this Help Article for steps.

  • Hi @AJ Sawant

    Smartsheet Forms would not be able to pull information from a sheet and display this to the person adding in data.

    Instead, you could have a sheet set up where they add in data into a Cell. Then you can have formulas that look into your source sheet and auto-populate the cells in the row to display the related information. You could lock those columns so the user cannot change the formula.

    Here's an example of how that may look:


    You would leave the yellow cell open and editable. Then users can add data in that cell and it will bring information into the grey cells based on that number.

    Keep in mind if a number is entered incorrectly they'll receive an error:


    You can Publish a sheet and embed this published link in a Dashboard using the Web Content widget if you wanted it to appear there.


    Here is the formula I used in the Status Column:

    =INDEX({Status Column}, MATCH([Enter Number Here]@row, {Number Column}, 0))


    Then in the POD Lead column I had to update the first reference to look at the next column in the source sheet:

    =INDEX({POD Lead Column}, MATCH([Enter Number Here]@row, {Number Column}, 0))


    Each of the references {in these} are Cross Sheet References. See this Help Article for more information.


    If this won't work for you, it would be helpful to know more details about what you're looking to do and what this is for.

    Thanks!

  • @Genevieve P. Basically what I am asking for help on is when you go to settings and under form submissions it gives you an option to send user to link after submitting the form. I have applied a few filters in my Smartsheet's and what I want is for the user to be redirected to the url link for each of the different filters I have applied on the Smartsheet's. Please help me out on this. Thanks
