It would be great to send attachments as attachments and not a link through the automated workflows.

Hierarchical sorting availability in Dynamic Views. Having the ability to sort by multiple fields would be excellent. The current sorting lends to things being in different orders for different users viewing the same dynamic view at the same time, and if you click the sort multiple times you will get different sort orders for the same thing. Ideally you would be able to have multiple fields of sorting capability in a hierarchy similar to how you have it in main sheets. image below is the sorting capabilities on the main sheet.

Dear Smartsheet Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to suggest an enhancement to the conditional formatting features in Smartsheet. As a frequent user of your platform, I have found that while Smartsheet offers robust functionalities, there are limitations in the conditional formatting options that hinder user experience and efficiency.

One particular limitation is the inability to apply conditional formatting to all cells on a sheet or an entire sheet at once. Currently, users can only apply conditional formatting to one column at a time. This restriction greatly limits the flexibility and efficiency of formatting large datasets, especially for users migrating from platforms like Excel where such capabilities are standard.

Given that conditional formatting is a fundamental tool utilized across various industries on a daily basis, enhancing these features in Smartsheet would significantly improve user productivity and satisfaction. Therefore, I propose the following enhancements to the conditional formatting functionality:

1. Apply Conditional Formatting to Entire Sheets: Allow users to apply conditional formatting rules to all cells within a sheet or to entire sheets at once. This feature would streamline the formatting process for large datasets and improve overall efficiency.
2. Bulk Conditional Formatting: Introduce the ability to apply conditional formatting rules to multiple columns or ranges simultaneously. This would enable users to format data more quickly and intuitively, similar to the capabilities offered in spreadsheet applications like Excel.
3. Advanced Conditional Formatting Options: Expand the range of conditional formatting criteria and formatting styles available to users. This could include additional comparison operators, custom formulas, and more diverse formatting options such as icon sets and data bars.
4. Conditional Formatting Presets: Provide users with pre-defined conditional formatting presets tailored for common use cases across different industries. This would simplify the formatting process for users who may not be familiar with creating custom rules.

By implementing these enhancements, Smartsheet can better meet the diverse needs of its users and provide a more comprehensive solution for data management and analysis. I believe these improvements would greatly enhance the usability and effectiveness of the platform, ultimately leading to higher user satisfaction and adoption.

Thank you for considering my suggestions. I look forward to seeing the continued evolution of Smartsheet and the implementation of these enhancements.

Hello!

I just wanted to suggest an improvement to dashboards, specifically. It would be very nice to open up links to other dashboards/sheets/miscellaneous links in new tabs, or to at least have that as an option (ie- right click option).

I have noticed that some things open in new tabs, but it is very tedious to have to open a bookmarked dashboard, and then click that to go to a sheet, and it takes you there on the same tab. It means I have to keep clicking on my dashboard links to get to other sheets, and it takes away from the usefulness of dashboards as a 'one-stop-shop' by not having this feature.

I hope that this can be implemented soon, as this would be a major efficiency improvement! Thank you to all of your dev group for the continuous improvements, and for listening to your customer suggestions!

When an end date is used in a dependency setting, you can't use automation or formulas to change it. However, this is when it is critical (pun fully intended)! When someone marks an item as Completed status, it would be helpful if the sheet could update the End Date column to the date it marked completed. For dependencies and baseline reporting, I need the End Date to accurately reflect completion. I appreciate your consideration of this idea!

In the most of the cases user just need to see report but not details tab, this can be confusing for user
