is this possible? - form fill, populate time, then multiple sheets update based on time

Eric W

We are trying to automate some contractor time submissions.

Can we:

bi-weekly time sheet - create form that; form pulls drop down contractor name from separate sheet (contractor pay rate). Contractor enters job name from drop down option, enters hours for the week, enters email address and uploads sign off form.

can 2 sheets then take that information to calculate total time for the contractor (he does multiple jobsites during the week) on one sheet. Another sheet takes that info and calculates his pay based on 'contractor pay rate' sheet

Hi @Eric W

I hope you're well and safe!

Yes! You could also use the URL-Query feature to add the information to the form automatically.

When you click on the URL created with the help of the URL query, it will open the Form layout with fields already filled in.

You could use an Automated Alert Workflow and include a link to the form pre-filled by using the URL-Query feature.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
