I'm creating a form to collect Order information from users and facing a difficulty with an order having multiple items. I want to create a form which allows users to input multiple items in one order request. Each item will have each price and quantity. How can I do that in smartsheet? Thanks.
Hi Jonathan,
How many different items is it per order?
Depending on the above you could have a column per item on the order form.
Would that work for you?
I hope this helps you!
Best,

Hi Andree,
Items are vary. I'm not quite understand your solution (a column per item). Can you please explain more details?
I also attached a screen shot of order with multiple items for your reference.
Thanks,
Smartsheet isn't designed for inventory management via order forms so you'll likely run into problems trying it via this method. There's no real way to build in a conditional 'item #1, item #2' without having all of it part of your form.
The response above was referring to building out several columns in your sheet so your form would have capacity for Item #1, item #2, etc. You'll have issues since every order will show each field by default so they'll see all the extra fields even if they're ordering one item.
I would suggest creating an order form for your customers to use and having them upload the file when they submit an order. You would then confirm the order and enter the data into your sheet for accuracy. It's probably the easiest way to use Smartsheet for this purpose without creating extra work for your customers entering in an order.
I agree with Chris but it can work if you don't have too many different order rows.
It depends on your needs and use case.

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
