Re: 🚨 [Feedback Requested] Would commenting directly on Dashboards help your team? 🚨
I just got to know we dont have a way to send individual replies to comments so let me start from the latest one and make my way to the top -
@meagans Great to hear. Can you expand a bit more on the Approval use case? How would you ideally utilize it on a Dashboard?
@Andrée Starå thank you for the great feedback. Both Filters and ability to send Snapshots of a Dashboard are already in flight and you should see these functionalities on a Dashboard very soon :)
@Paul Newcome that makes sense. We can definitely think about giving controls to Admins to turn on and turn off commenting at a Dashboard level as well as Widget level. I am trying to understand if there's even a need for Approval mechanism or just a Dashboard level Comment from a Senior Leader that says "Approved" would do the job? Also, Filters are already in-flight :)
@Griff D thank you, that was insightful
@Protonsponge Ooo great call out. Added a user story for Mobile Support.
@Kelly Drake thank you for the feedback. Both Filters and Snapshots are already in-flight :)
@Almonto1 so you're saying you want your Dashboard to be broadly shared but only want to give the ability to Comment to a few specific individuals or users?
@Isis Taylor Fair point. Added a user story for the same. Thanks! :)
@melissa.garcia amazing feedback. Thank you for highlighting your use case in such depth. I've added user stories based on your suggestions.
@Paula Grahame Oh hey Paula!! Can you help me understand your use case better? If we have Dashboard and Widget level commenting, do you still feel the need for a Sticky Notes widget? You can still make notes as Comments and assign them to people. Why do you think only a Sticky Note feature will help solve for your use case?
@Ray Lindstrom Great to know. Can you highlight a few use cases where this feature would benefit you and your team please?
@Monique Odom-Stearn thats very reassuring to hear. Thanks!
@AdamSYNH great to hear. Thanks for highlighting the use case!
@Antoine B very interesting concept. Can you expand a bit more please?
@Sing C very much appreciate the detailed feedback. Thank you for taking the time!

@juliesusannee, thank you! I used Microsoft Word to create the doc, then converted it to a PDF. It works pretty slick. :)

Re: INDEX/MATCH not working for some values
@jjg279 You could try checking the numbers you are entering with the barcode scanner. I think I ran into issues with them coming through as a string, '123445, instead of whatever number. Maybe that is throwing off your Index/match. You could try a helper column with the VALUE() function to turn them into numbers.

Re: Portfolio Updates to Leadership
Excellent!
Happy to help!
I sometimes set it up with an automated alert or together with an attached PDF using the Document Builder feature.
Make sense?

Re: Asset Management - Due in 7 Days not working
Hi @mclyburn5
You are correct, this formula
=COUNTIF({Sheet - Asset Management Sheet Range 2}, TODAY(7))
will count the rows where the date in "Sheet - Asset Management Sheet Range 2" is equal to Today's date plus 7 days.
To count rows where the date is before or on the date in 7 day's time you need to use a less than and equals sign like this (in bold):
=COUNTIF({Sheet - Asset Management Sheet Range 2}, <= TODAY(7))
(don't copy this as the comments format the < and = as an arrow - type it in)

Hello Smartsheet PMO Community. I’m Gina based in the Washington DC Area.
I’ve been using Smartsheet for over a year and currently support a nonprofit international church. We use Smartsheet across various departments to improve business processes—everything from project management, procurement tracking, and RFP oversight to developing solutions for the marketing team and increasing overall visibility.
I’m looking forward to engaging with the community to gain insight into how others are using Smartsheet, explore best practices, and learn about helpful tools, templates, and solutions that can support our ongoing work.

Re: SmartU New Offerings - Smartsheet Builder Path & more!
@joey.w.razzano You are exactly right. I've begun adding a "Solution Documentation" folder to workspaces once I complete a process which includes both written and visual documentation. I am also in the process of developing a standard template set for documentation so that I can train others in my department on how to do it.

Re: Progress Bar
For the 'progress" bar, we would need another column. Call it "Remaining", and use this column formula:
=6 - Progress@row
Make sure this is to the right of your Progress column in your report and include it. Convert the chart to a stacked column, and you should be good to go there.
For number 2, there is no way to change the actual labels on the vertical axis, but within the chart settings, there should be a way for you to adjust the vertical axis settings which should include an "Axis Title". You can enter the word "Step" there.
