Dashboard Improvement - ability to draw
I would like to be able to draw inside the dashboard, that is, to have the creation of lines and other figures available.
However, the positioning of elements on the dashboard should be more flexible, that is, I would like to be able to overlay elements, whose transparency could reveal other data or images in the background.
This would favor the creation of more elaborate charts, for example.

I have chronic migraines and the blinding white is literally hurting me! Please add dark mode!
Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet
Our organization is heavily using smartsheet forms. One of the features we are missing is to save the forms as draft. Here is the business background.
We do an audit checklist every quarter for nearly 200 locations.
Checklist has many questions which cannot be filled in one short because all of them need evidence. Once it's filled, it will go for approvals (using workflow) and then the data is collected in a sheet.
Unfortunately update requests are not an appropriate feature for this kind of business needs.. update requests can be only made one time. so we can't use that.
I appreciate Smart sheet technical teams to consider this request and make it available. It will really useful for many other. I read a lot of similar request in community and other forums
Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet
it would be good for a form to be saved and have the user/applicant come back to it
Re: Can you cell-link within the same sheet?
@Bradhickswa Unfortunately, as of now, Smartsheet does not allow to link a cell within the same sheet but I would like to add that it would be a great feature if we can get that, so this is a message out to the whole community. We also need to link in cells within the same sheet and as of now unable to do so. I vote up to add this as a feature.

Business Plan features for a single license
I love Smartsheet's features. When I left my corporate job to strike out as a freelancer, using Smartsheet as one of my primary management tools felt like a no-brainer.
Unfortunately there are some features I want to use (e.g., grouping on reports and sheet summaries) that are exclusive to the business plan, which has a minimum of 3 licenses.
I would be happy to pay the additional charge per year on my license for these Business features, but as a single-person operation, I can't justify paying for two extra licenses that I do not need, just to get these features.
I spoke with an account manager about this, but the only option was for me to pay for 3 licenses and not use two of them. I can't imagine I'm the only user who would love this option, so I'm hoping that Smartsheet will throw a bone to us extra-small businesses out here.
Cheers,
Justin
Calculating Duration - Answered
Team,
It took me some time to figure out how to display duration. I have 3 columns " Date Created " " Time Completed " & " Duration " I have attached an image for refference.
Formula - copy this into the first row of that column. Remember to either rename your columns or change the formula. Cheers!!
=INT([Time Completed]@row - [Date Created]@row) + "d " +
INT(MOD(([Time Completed]@row - [Date Created]@row) * 24, 24)) + "h " +
INT(MOD(([Time Completed]@row - [Date Created]@row) * 1440, 60)) + "m"
Re: Dark Mode for Desktop App
Please implement dark mode for Smartsheet. It is really difficult on our eyes to work on a white screen.
Include predecessor references with copy to another sheet
Sorry if this is already in the forum. I searched and did not see it submitted as an idea. It only comes up in other discussions.
Issue: When using copy to another sheet, the rows do not maintain their predecessor references.
Use Case: We utilize Control Center to provision our projects from a standard "PROJECT TEMPLATE". Each project has about 10 sheets and 10 reports. One of the sheets is a "WORK PLAN", which is a standard project schedule sheet (gantt chart). The "WORK PLAN" template in our "PROJECT TEMPLATE" has a very simple gantt schedule to seed the project. It does not work for most project. It would be too cumbersome to have a schedule in the template that covers every use case. Instead, we have a "SCHEDULE TEMPLATE SHEET" that has about 40 different project schedules (small project, multi phase, multi parcels, SD/DD/CD public work, hydrology projects, landscape projects, civil projects, etc) We would like to be able to highlight the rows we want in the "SCHEDULE TEMPLATE SHEET", and copy to the newly provisioned project "WORK PLAN". Unfortunately, when we do this, the predecessors are left blank in the "WORK PLAN". Some of our schedules have 100's of lines. We cannot simply do a save as from the "SCHEDULE TEMPLATE SHEET" and overwrite the new "WORK PLAN" because Control Center keeps track of each sheets unique identifier. This is necessary should we make system wide changes to our projects. I have also seen the work arounds others have posted (using excel, inserting rows to get then aligned between source and destination sheet, then copy paste just the predecessor info) Frankly, they are cludgy and prone to user error when deployed across multiple managers/teams.
Request: Include the predecessor row numbers (relative) when copy to another sheet. This feature works when copying within the same sheet. The predecessors will update relative to the new row numbers.

Re: Join the conversation on STEM education and help nurture the next generation of visionaries
My love for STEM started at a young age with my first trip to Johnson Space Center and meeting some of the first women astronauts. Working with Smartsheet these last couple of years has unlocked my love of technology and I'm thankful my employer encourages our continuous learning.
