Tool that maps a standardized spreadsheet of requests to each Member office’s Google Form and automates form filling.
Problem
Submitting appropriations requests to multiple Member offices is a highly manual and error-prone process. Each office typically has its own Google Form with slightly different fields and formats, requiring repetitive data entry and increasing the risk of mistakes.
Solution
Develop a tool that streamlines the submission of appropriations requests:
- “Crosswalk” Functionality: Allows users to create a standardized spreadsheet containing all their appropriations requests. The tool then “crosswalks” this data to the specific fields and formats required by each individual Member office’s Google Form.
- Automated Form Filling: Automates the process of filling out and submitting multiple Google Forms, reusing the data from the standardized spreadsheet and minimizing manual data entry.
- Input Flexibility:
- Enhancement: Provide a feature to transform a Google Doc containing appropriations requests into the standardized spreadsheet format, further reducing manual input.
