    hi all 

    is it possible to do the following and if so how would i go about it, 

    i have created a Basic Holiday form for my workers, this requires to be signed off and then returned to the work saying that it has been authorized with a managers signature and date, 

    is it possible for the form when submitted to go to the manager to sign or does he have to edit it in the sheets?

    I would recommend you to build an approval workflow. So, after your workers submit the form, it will go to your managers for a signature.

    In order to achieve this, you can check and follow this walkthrough:

    Please give it a try and let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Are you referring to this form 200443309615044?

    I would suggest to create a separate autoresponder, which will inform your respondents. Then you should use "Change Email Recipient" type of condition to send this autoresponder.

    In order to achieve this, you will also need to add the Get Form Page URL widget. Then your condition for the autoresponder should look like this:
