Dividers and Labels

surfnacho · 02-09-2020 08:32 PM

Hey there, my name is Anshul Bajaj and I am 15 years old. I am from robotics team 4414 | HighTide. I am building an app for robot scouting and I needed some help.

I would like to be able to add dividers and labels in our input form, this is to give basic info and to split up the sections of the form. I tried a few different things like virtual columns (did not work for me), but I am not sure what the best way to do this is.

There are 3 sections to the form and I would like to split them up to make the form more user friendly and slick.

Like this

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks
Anshul

@Suvrutt_Gurjar I also have people upload images when they fill out the form, where do those images actually go. All I see is a thumbnail in the app and the file name in my sheet. Is there anyway to get the actual photo into the sheet?
