Document Builder: Generate PowerPoint Slide
It would be nice if the Document Builder feature included a PowerPoint slide option. For example, I often have to prepare a slide deck for new projects. The information for the slides is contained entirely within a Smartsheet grid. If it were possible to generate a slide in the same way as a PDF, I could eliminate the need for copying and pasting the information from Smartsheet to a slide, which also commonly involves making format changes.
Enable PDF print of Dashboard and Export to Excel of Reports from Power Automate
It appears that the automatic (scheduled) backup feature from Smartsheet does not include either the Reports or the Dashboards. These are left to the user to be manually "Save as" or "Print as PDF" every single time one wishes to have a backup. This is very inconvenient, I have about a dozen dashboards that I would like to save/archive weekly in an automated manner.
I discovered that Smartsheet offers a variety of Power Automate capabilities (see attached). these today do not seem to include the ability to Print to PDF or Export to Excel.

Improved PDF Exporting of Dashboards
I have created a dashboard that I would like to export to PDF to share to people that do not necessarily have Smartsheet and more importantly don't want to open links/attachments to get "quick glance" data.
When I print as PDF I loose a lot of formatting and can't centre the data across the page. without customising margins.
Being able to export Dashboards would be a brilliant tool to have with multiple out put types, like slide, document and email. Adjusting standard sizing and formatting points to suite each output types.
Re: How to change date format in dynamic view
This is a real issue. We need to see the same date format as is in the source sheet.
Re: Automation Notifications Using Groups
Would be nice if we could send automations to a Smartsheet User Group that way if we need to update recipients, we can update the group instead of multiple automations in each sheet (for projects spun up in Control Center for instance).
Grid Lines in Dashboards to show Center permanently
I'd like to suggest the addition of faint colored guide lines in the editing view of dashboards. I know there's a red line that pops up to show the median of the dashboard view when moving objects around but it'd be nice as a permanent fixture to eyeball how far off something is from the middle. Whether just a permanent line for the center, or different colors to show each quartile, it'd be great for dashboards with an eye for symmetry.
Calendar App integration with Outlook
We capture many fields in the Calendar App view in addition to the ones that aren't available in the calendar view of the sheet. It would be great to integrate the exact view (with all the additional fields) into Outlook.
Automated email with link to particular row
We use SS for project management. When a task needs to be handed off to a new person (the next step in the project) we set up an automated email that lets them know. Unfortunately, there is no way to include a link to the particular project row in the email. The email only includes a link to the entire spreadsheet.
Our current workaround has been to tag the user in a comment, which does send them an email w/ a link to the row. This is not ideal as it causes 2 emails to be sent every time a project is handed off to a new staff person.
Freeze Row
Enhancement request to add capability to freeze row (like freeze column)
Automation Notifications Using Groups
I would like to be able to use Smartsheet groups as recipients within automation workflow notifications instead of listing each user individually.
