Re: Is there a way to create a community with badges for my organization?
This would be a fun way to onboard new employees!

What is the best example of a community you have seen?
I would have to say that it is both the Smartsheet Community and the Smartsheet Overachievers (both active and alumni). Both are filled with like-minded folks who are forward thinkers and always at the ready to help. I am proud to be a member of both of these communities. So many problem-solvers and innovative thinkers coming together is why I feel that both of these are the best examples of a community that I have seen and have the pleasure of being a part of!
Re: June Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
I'm going to shout out a community that I just joined:
My local humane society started a new program called "Rescue Dog Recess," in which volunteers can take dogs out of the shelter for a day to let them decompress, relax, and just have a fun day out! Plus, it exposes the dog to potential adopters when they're out and about! This past weekend was my first time volunteering for this program, and I was lucky to take the same dog out both Friday and Sunday. On Sunday, we met a family that seemed very interested in her and mentioned checking her out at the shelter this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she'll find her forever family soon!

Re: Best Way to Facilitate Task Hand-Off to Different Assignees
Have you considered using a Current User Report?. Like other reports, this can pull in data across sheet, but it only displays the tasks for the logged in user. Just set up your filter to include this type of filter, and chose Current User in the dropdown for the value.
We use these type of reports on our team dashboards all the time.

As so many others have answered, the Smartsheet community is the obvious choice. There are so many community members who are looking to help and support their fellow Smartsheet users. I've learned a great deal from both questions and answers.
The only other community I'm part of that has the same level of positive collaboration and supportive learning environment is the community pottery I'm a member of. Here's a recent candle pot I made, inspired by the calm of being at the beach with the surf rolling gently across the sand,

Re: Work With Flow - Operation Smile Story
When I'm building custom solutions for our teams with very specific needs, I'm grateful that my most used phrase is "Smartsheet can do that" in response to their wish list of functionality to save them time. Every time I get smiles and excitement from the team, even more so when I deliver the finished solution. Here are a couple of recent examples:
Automation workflows for status/update requests, meeting prep and downstream communications as rows are updated
Parent/child projects with summary roll-ups for complex multi-workstream initiative management
Dynamic meeting agendas and data housed in a single dashboard for presentation to teams and clients (no more slide decks!)

Re: Work With Flow - Operation Smile Story
I love this. My job has evolved thanks to Smartsheet, and I absolutely love the work I do each day. From building Smartsheet solutions to manage tasks, budgets, and our District's New Hire Induction program, are just part of what I do on a daily basis. These solutions have not only saved me time, but have saved countless hours for the teams and departments I help support. Smartsheet literally brings smiles to my day, every day! π
Re: Work With Flow - Operation Smile Story
This is so inspiring! Smartsheet creates smiles in my workplace by reducing the amount of effort needed to collaborate in the same space - no more duplicate files or waiting for approvals before changing values, and visuals are updated in real time!

Re: Work With Flow - Operation Smile Story
My full time job is to build Smartsheet solutions. I absolutely love it. Building Smartsheet solutions to better manage the things I have to do that aren't necessarily my favorite tasks helps give me more time to do what I really enjoy.
Building solutions that help me spend more focused time building more solutions, some of which help my team do those things on their task lists that they prefer to focus on.
Smartsheet allowing everyone to focus on what they are good at and what they enjoy is what brings smiles to my workplace.

Re: Grant Management System template
Hi @TracyBe
From the image that shows the "structure of the solution", it seems this solution is using Smartsheet Control Center, which would be an add additional purchase on top of your Smartsheet plan. See:
It looks to be quite a complex solution, so I would recommend getting in touch with a Smartsheet consultant if you need help building it out and want to talk to Smartsheet staff.
There are simple templates in the Solution Center that you can use as a starting point that only use the core Smartsheet application (no add-ons needed).
Here are some examples:
Grant Fulfillment Tracking
Grant Application Plan
Project Portfolio
Benefits Tracking
Project Schedule Management
β¦and more!
Cheers,
Genevieve
