If you need to gather information from your submissions, Submit.com is the perfect tool for you. With its flexible Smart Table feature, you can use tables for all your needs. Tables are especially useful for managing budgets.
Smart tables have a multitude of features, including Auto-calculating build-able formulae, Multiple-choice, Multiple-select, yes/no, and text and number fields. You can also make cells required so that candidates cannot proceed until they are complete. Once smart tables are set up, they are easy for your candidates to fill out.
To create a table, select the table option from the question types. You can then choose a title for your table and click edit table to make any necessary changes.
This will open a table where you can easily edit the format. To edit the cells, you can click on them and it will open a menu for you.
You can choose your cell type from the menu. There are a number of cell types:
- Display text
- User input - text, number, yes/no, multiple choice and multiple select
- Formula
If you choose display text you will be able to add the text you want to display in the cell to your candidate.
User input will allow you to set formatting for each cell. It is good to think about the kind of data you would like to gather from your candidate. You can set any of these cells to be required if needed.
If you are adding a Multiple Choice or Multiple select to your table you will have to add each question option in the answer options:
We've made building a formula as easy for you as possible. You can include cells from the table but also cells from other tables that you have included in your submission form.
