Form Smart Dropdown

Form Smart dropdown is an enhancement of the dropdown feature wherein a datalist can be added as a dropdown.

 

 

Creating a smart dropdown

 

  • Create the source spreadsheet.

 

  • Create another spreadsheet for the dropdown. Here, add the respective column name and the list of options to be displayed.

 

  • Connect the two spreadsheets using the option Dropdown Columns.

 

 

  • The dropdown list is displayed in the source spreadsheet.

 

  • Create two datalists using the two spreadsheets and add them to the dashboard.

 

 

  • Create a form using the source spreadsheet. While adding fields with dropdown lists, you have two options: “Classic” which is the default style and “Smart” which enables a datalist to be added as a dropdown.
  • Choose the Dropdown style as “smart” and select the datalist from the dropdown list.

 

  • Save your form and connect it to the first datalist.

 

  • View your dashboard. Smart Dropdown is displayed for the selected
    field within a form.
