Hi everyone, at the moment I use a long format โdescriptionโ in an empty column at the start of each form, in order to help the user understand what the form is for / how the procedure works. It looks like soโฆ
{This Form is for 'x' to:
A. See and authorize documents.
B. Upload new document templates.
C. Request Amendments to existing documents.
.}
Is this the best way to do a form introduction, or is there something simpler I can do? Iโm asking because this method is a bit buggy, so when you regenerate your structure it can result in your description column getting erased.
Thanks for any feedback, its much appreciated.
Hi, have you tried to use Show/Text column type for this purpose?
No I havent Aleksi, but wouldnโt the text column type just clutter my spreadsheet needlessly? Since all the text is being stored there when the form is saved.
Show columns can be virtual columns, then they donโt need to occur in your spreadsheet at all. However, youโd then need to use slices to order the columns in a form as you want them.
Thanks Steve. Yeah thats the only thing I donโt like about Virtual Columns, how you canโt easily customize them to go before / after different columns in your spreadsheet.
When you use Show column, it doesnโt save anything to your spreasheet. Itโs an empty column.
Great. Thank you, Iโm just used to using the โShowโ type for separating pages, I will try it out.
Youโre welcome
