收集Information with a Form
Create and share forms to gather and organize information within Smartsheet. After you create and share a form, each form submission will be added to the top or bottom of your sheet as a new row.
Use a form, for example, to collect survey responses, intake project requests, or gather product orders.
Anyone who can access the form can use it to submit information to the sheet.
