Good day

 

I have created a form using forms.office.com.

 

1) I need to make it easier for the user to enter a time value, is there a way to create a mask to assist in this?

2) We have a long list of Penalty Types (38) see excerpt in the table below, I only need to save the code but users do not know what just the code means is there a way to create a multicolumn lookup list? ie A1 and Early Departure ... in the form that will save just the code (1st column)?

 

A1 Early Departure (depart before scheduled time) 50
A2 Late Departure (≥ 3 to <6 minutes late) 50
A3 Late Departure (≥ 6 to <15 minutes late) 100
A4 Late Departure (≥ 15 minutes late) 150
A5 Variance from the specified route 250
A6 Failure to carry Certificate of Fitness for all vehicles 100
A7 Failure of vehicles to display correct route identification or related signage 100
A8 Failure to pick up or set down passengers at the authorised stops for a particular route 250
A9 Failure to dispatch a replacement vehicle in the event of a breakdown or accident within 30 minutes 100
A10 Unauthorised use of vehicles leased from the Municipality 250
A11 Did Not Operate (≥ the scheduled time of the following depature from the point)
(penalty points levied and scheduled kilometres deducted)		 150

Hi Keith,

I'm not aware of any way to create an input mask, sorry.

You can't create a lookup table as such in the form, but you can use Power Query to get the Excel file created by the form and then modify the column to only show the code.
