Question

Using a Form as a template to not be submitted or a discussion

I have created a form that I want to be used every day as a timesheet as such. We are moving to a management system but this is a interim measure.

 

The form I have created only allows the form to be shared, and then responses submitted. I want this form to be a general form/template and then screenshot/attached and sent as an email. The same template to be completed daily, and sent. 

 

How can I move this from being a single shared form, to then have the responses submitted and then shared/discussed?


Cheers

Hi, I've attached a screenshot. Its a form that Is submitted and the replies get published back. I just want a template that can be used multiple times. Obviously there is a setting I have missed.

Ok. Thanks.
Once submitted, the form can't be re-used as it has to be shared via email etc.

Maybe I have set this up the wrong way. It may be out of my league and I have to find someone to pay to set this up for me. I just want a basic editable form that can be saved to a desk top and filled in daily.  The daily template doesn't even need to be saved, the changes can just be screen shot and emailed as a picture, and the initial form just revert back to blank etc.


Can you post the form you are currently using? 

Why can't the users save the form to their local file system and re-use it? Sharing the form by email has no relevance to re-using the form. And why would you take a screenshot of the form when it can simply be emailed after it is filled? You haven't explained any of this. Please provide details. 

Or contact me if you are interested in private consulting on the form workflow.
