  • The way I have found to do this would be to create columns in your sheet as checkbox columns and these would be your multiple choice options. if you do a drop down option they can only choose one from the drop down. If you want to discuss further just let me know. Tony

    Hi happybaba

    What you are looking for is "Conditional Logic" which Smartsheet forms cannot do as such, but by being creative you can often find a solution like Tony suggests, or another way is to offer a choice of forms that cover different situations that still populate the same sheet. Eg an engineer would answer a different set of recruitment questions to a sales person, but all land on the same recruitment sheet.

    Or differing H & S incident reports could offer different forms to fill out the detail of the event.

    If all that will not work for you, then you will find excellent dialogie ( in the forum) about using Google Forms which can do conditional Logic and still populate Smartsheets is probably the answer.

    Hope that Helps?

@v.winters<\/a> <\/p>

If the two percent columns are formatted as percent columns (see screenshot), then the % Not Complete column would have this formula: <\/p>

=1 - [%Complete]<\/em>@row<\/p>

@Pamela Wagner<\/a> - Hello<\/p>

The column mapping you setup in the DataMesh configuration is used to determine what information needs to link or copy and where it needs to go. The Execution Frequency<\/strong> is what tells the system when to run the DataMesh workflow.<\/p>

Execution Frequency: Scheduled execution frequency to update DataMesh values.<\/p>

The Update Immediately<\/em> execution frequency isn't supported when using a report as your source. If using a report this could be why you are not seeing updates immediately.<\/p>

As far as what triggers a workflow to run when \"Update Immediately\" is selected, DataMesh looks for matching cell values and these could come from manual entries, formulas, or cell links. When there is a successful mesh you can see the CONFIG LOGS by clicking the paper icon.<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"Screenshot<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After clicking the paper icon a CONFIG LOGS window will pop up showing a history of all the successful and errors.<\/p>

\n
\n \n \"image.png\"<\/img><\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If it is unsuccessful the paper icon will be red or in the CONFIG LOGS it will show the error.<\/p>


<\/p>

If further investigation is needed I recommend to click here<\/a> to open a Smartsheet support ticket. If you do make sure you include any screenshots without personal or confidential information displayed.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&siteSectionID=0&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending Posts","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
