I have a list of products and their suppliers, and I want create a form to send to each supplier, listing only their products. I was wondering if that's possible.
for clarification, I import 4 products, where item's 1 and 2 are supplied by supplier A, and 3 and 4 are supplier B. then the form I send to supplier A will only show items 1 and 2, and not 3 and 4, and vice versa for supplier B.
I have a lot of suppliers with different amount of products
I would prefer not to have to create 2 separate forms for the 2 suppliers.
Is it possible to merge imported data with an existing table - i.e. not have the imported data on a separate tab? We are using jotform for new membership applications and already have some entries - but want to add all the pre-jotform members to the same table. thank you
How many records (rows) can I import into a Table Form?
I uploaded an excel file with money figures, short text, and formulas from within excel for calculating percentages etc. When I uploaded, no data shows up in the table. The tab I uploaded into is "Tims Rates" and is in this table https://www.jotform.com/tables/211815820622045/211876286204054 Help...
How do you limit import of data from Excel to only include rows with data? I imported an Excel sheet with 66 rows populated and got 990 entries in my table. Made sorting an issue.
How do you get a date to import correctly? It imports as the julien date (ie. 44297), verses a usable date (4/29/2021)
can you save or back up a table?
Can you add the data to tables and integrate it with a form? If headers match fields in Form will it auto populate?
