Update the programming of the access request notifications so it records user who granted the access

Hello!

My idea is to update the programming of the access request notifications so that it records the user who actually granted the access rather than always defaulting to the Owner.

Back in March-ish of 2024, smartsheet made an update to where access request notifications are sent to all admin of a sheet, workspace, dashboard etc, rather than just the Owner.

It has come to my attention that they left something out when implementing that change.

All sharing links that are sent to admin, if used to grant access, will show that the Owner granted the access. This is a huge flaw and left me questioning my sanity as I was seeing that I granted access to sheets that I absolutely DID NOT. We need the activity log to accurately reflect who did what, especially if something was shared that should not have been shared, so that we can follow up with the Admin who shared it.

NEW! Dashboard chart quality-of-life enhancements

Hi Community!

We’ve released quality-of-life enhancements for charts, focused on improving their visual quality and readability. Now, chart axes extend just enough to accommodate values over 100%, eliminating unnecessary white space. Additionally, data labels in stacked bar and column charts will scale to fit neatly within their segments or be hidden if they don’t fit, ensuring that all charts remain clear and visually appealing.

Note:

If a segment is too small to display the label, then the label for that segment won't be shown.
The data label change applies only to stacked bar and column charts; it doesn't affect regular bar and column charts.
If the Scale to data values setting is turned ON, then the cap to 100% behavior does not apply.

Stay informed by subscribing to receive product release updates for curated news of recently released product capabilities and enhancements for the platform of your choosing, delivered to your inbox. As new releases occur, you will receive a weekly email with news of what's released every Tuesday.

How do I prevent the Workspace panel from opening automatically?

Starting today, the Workspace panel opens every time I refresh my reports, which is constantly. Is this a new "feature"? I save and refresh my reports dozens of times a day and am now wasting time closing the Workspace panel so it doesn't block columns from view. Is there a setting I can change so the panel only opens when I choose to do so?

Thanks.

Automate Copy/Paste Special in same sheet or to another

We have "live" metrics collecting data from multiple departmental sheets, and display them on a dashboard. Works beautifully. The challenge is, we need to save each metric into an historical sheet, which means we need to store the numbers as static numbers. Copy/Paste Special accomplishes this — but it has to be done manually. If there was an automation for this, it would solve the dilemma of manually capturing each metric at the right moment, and copying/pasting "special" by hand.

Re: Let's celebrate our Global Community

While on maternity leave, I went on a hike, but I needed to remember the smartsheet representation!

Re: Let's celebrate our Global Community

Honoring the diversity of our members. Very lucky to have hiked the Cotopaxi Volcano in Latacunga, Ecuador in June. Now, to be honest, I only got to the first refuge at 4,864 msnm (meters over sea level) or around 15,953 ft over sea level. It is extraordinary and majestic. Yes, my cell phone worked enough to take that pic!
