Best Of

I am facing the same issue.

So, 'vote' for the ability to attach all documents on notifications, no matter when they were added.

Thanks.

I agree, the ability to include attachments to automated emails is vital. I'm also finding colleagues are getting lost in the sheet when they click the link in the email. Its really slowing down one of our internal processes too as we need to forward on the detail collected in a form to another department that won't use the smartsheet to download the attachments so we then need to have the automated email sent to the requestor for them to add the attachments to send.

When creating an auto-number column, if you choose anything different than Numerical Places being 0, it will detect the column as text.

Therefore, making calculations with the auto-number column behaves different depending on the properties used.

For example, the formula =[Row ID]@row + 1 shows different outcomes as the following:

If Numerical Places is 0, it will sum the value turning Row ID 1234 into 1235

If Numerical Places is 0000, it will add the 1 as text, turning Row ID 1234 into 12341

This mismatch on the behaviors also affects other features such as sorting or indexing and should not be considered expected when the same column name already has the word "number" on it.

They told me to post this here rather than just forward it internally, which is really surprising actually, but can you please make the highlight changes button available on sheet summary report actually highlight changes? I don't know what it would even be there if it didn't already, but it doesn't and I confirmed in the support email below. . .

As sheet summaries can’t be highlighted even when applying the change directly to the report it will not highlight the change.

 Thanks for checking on your end, Malcolm, I'm glad to hear it's not just me and that feature doesn't work in spite of the button being there on the Sheet Summary Report. 

I do have to ask you the same question I posed to Jaryl per your response: we're acknowledging that the "Highlight Changes" button that is already on the Sheet Summary Report does nothing, and you'd like me to submit a feature request to your product improvement team asking that they make it work?

Please consider adding an option or field name (e.g. {{history-start date}}) within notifications to share what the cell contents were BEFORE a change occurred.

I have a notification that goes out to users when something like a start date changes in a Sheet. While I can send the new cell value in the notification, it would be nice to be able to include what the cell value was prior to the change. This information is already tracked within cell history, but would be helpful to include it in notification E-mails rather than the user having to go into the sheet and review cell history.

A sample notification E-mail might be:

The Start Date {{history-Start Date}} has been changed to {{Start Date}}

The Start Date 11/22/23 has been changed to 12/10/23.

Thanks!
