I agree completely with all the above posts and disagree with the Smartsheet insight. We are a small company and invested in SmartSheet as our new Project Management tool as Microsoft has been failing there. We desire only our PM to have a licensed copy and all project team members to be very simple free task editors how SmartSheet was marketed. It's not just the free trial that is an issue, the entire new 'free editor' onboarding process could be greatly improved. Suggestions:

1. Just like many of the above posts, the whole free trial thing just invites more questions and frustration. 99.99% of the time a new free editor is just going to be a project team task editor. Allowing them to create content during a free trial is just going to cause problems especially if they create stuff they will then lose. A waste of time for the user and the admin. And if the user is contacted by SmartSheet it will be even worse.
2. Allow business plan admins to import bulk list of users (free editors) that will create the necessary core SmartSheet accounts without free trial or anything else.
3. Bypass all the 'What is your primary occupation', etc. questions
4. Allow a newly bulk added free editor to simply log in with Microsoft account and get to work editing shared content.

While some things may be more controllable with Enterprise plan, SMB's need some of this account creation/integration as well. Would be nice to either implement in business plan or make available as a simple add on where full enterprise functionality is not needed.

When email automations are received, the user has a link just to that sheet and then has to navigate to find the right row, comment, attachment, etc. Is there a way to set up the email automation so that a link to the row is provided? It would save time if the user can click and be directly sent to that exact row to review/respond.

Report Widgets when using only 1 column are very difficult to design and integrate into a dashboard. You can either not have a title but then it does not match other widgets or use a title but then it basically has 2 titles. See below images.

Without title:

With Title:

The option to remove the column headers would allow for a more seamless design

I would be good to have an option to NOT display the non-working days when in GANTT view in a Sheet or Report. By displaying the weekends and holidays, This could be achieved by changing the Project Settings, in either Timeline Display or Dependency Settings (under edit Non-working days) as a checkbox. Without this option, a Sheet or Reports can visually exaggerate the effort (duration) of the work by elongating the bar when a task straddles non-working days.

It is truly debilitating to not be able to work with someone in the same sheet at the same time with out it having to refresh and ruin someone else's data. Here at Penske's Talent and Development team, we are a very collaborative group and would love for this feature to be implemented ASAP.

Hello Team,

For license users, It would be ideal to have the row limit to the match the limit size in MS Excel i.e. 1,000,000 rows.

Any additional rows after 1 Million, ideally should be then covered with Premium Apps.

This will allow users to better adopt smartsheet and it features.

Also same should apply API governance, to allow better integration and automation.
