Use Collavate Predefined Functions

This feature is currently available for free trial upon request. If you are interested, please contact support@collavate.com.

Collavate predefined functions automatically fill in user information such as the organization name, full name, and email address when specific functions are entered.

By entering predefined functions into Google Sheets™, you can automatically pull stored user information during the approval process. This eliminates the need for manual input, simplifying template creation and repetitive data entry.

Note: This feature is available only for Google Sheets™ and cannot be used with other file formats.

  3. Enter the desired predefined function name as is.
  4. Submit the completed spreadsheet for approval or register it as a Collavate template.
