    For example.

    Coach A fills out a form that includes their team practice schedule, time, place, etc...

    Could Coach B input information to search for Coach A's data that was input?

    Thank you,

    If this can happen, I have finally found my company!!

    Hi Mark,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can download the user's entries and upload them on our spreadsheet to our Spreadsheet to Form Widget. Let me show you how to use it:

    1. Create a spreadsheet with your data structured like you see below. Make sure that the column names in the spreadsheet match the field names on the form, and include a unique column, like an ID, so the data can be distinguished. You can also download submission data as excel.

    2. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.

    3. Click on the Widgets tab, search for the Spreadsheet to Form widget and add it to your form.

    4. In the menu on the right side of the page, upload your data file. (You can simply drag & drop your excel file to the Upload File area.)

    5. Then, click on the Downward Arrow icon in the Access Code Column option and select the unique column.

    6. You can also customize texts used in the widget. After you complete everything, click on the Update Widget button at the bottom right of the menu.
