Re: Report Summary and Grouping: add custom formatting

YES - and to be able to control the column layout once grouped - the Primary Column stuck feature is frustrating in many instances.

Re: What does it look like to operate at your peak? 💭 Join the conversation

When I get to explore, am granted space to fail, spend time learning from those failures, and then turn that learning into something that improves the work life for someone else (or myself!)….thats peak “work human” for me.

Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet

Hello,

We (Warner Brothers Discovery) need to be able to save a form submission midway through. Without this function, the form is basically useless for us because we want to be able to create a longer, more complicated form. It is very frustrating that this function does not exist since people have been asking for this for over five years. It is also frustrating that there is a Save option right below this, indicating that this is a feature that Smartsheets can create.

Re: Chart Labels: drag labels overlap & stacked column labels

I'm having this problem too and would love a solution to be implemented with the dashboard revisions this year.

Re: Option to Not Include Sheet Link on Notifications

The one and only roadblock holding us back from going live with our sheet is the 'Go to Sheet' link on the automated notifications and updates sent by Smartsheet. We need to send approval requests, comments and attachments to outside parties without giving them access to the sheet itself.

BIG up vote for removing this feature!

Allow folders to be added as pages in WorkApps

It would be helpful when we want to share stuff like archives of meeting agendas, instead of having to share each individual sheet.

Re: October Question of the Month 💭 Join the conversation and receive a badge

Leaving the comfort of my career in secondary education as a teacher and diving into an entirely new career was a terrifying leap. The thought of abandoning the familiar routine and stepping into the unknown filled me with anxiety. But, as I took the plunge, I discovered personal growth, adaptability, and newfound strengths I never knew I possessed. Not to mention, the exposure to Smartsheet! It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made, leading me to a more fulfilling and exciting path in life, reminding me that sometimes the most frightening steps can be the most transformative and rewarding.

New Badge Idea - Project Management Certification

Having reviews the badges area of the Community, there is only a badge celebrating the Core Certification exam. Please could we have badges to display for passing the Solutions Center Exam and the Project Management Exam too?

Re: Recover Deleted Rows

@Rach Gee

Smartsheet STILL does not have the ability to FULLY recover deleted rows. Sure, they may be able to send you an Excel style backup/snapshot, but you lose your: Cell history, conversation thread, attachment links, sheet links, formatting, etc etc etc. You 'might' get the raw cell contents back, but telling someone that a .csv is their only backup solution for their .xlsm is laughable.

The .csv is better than nothing, for sure, but after +7 years we really had hoped that a better solution - or heck even a genuine step in the direction of better data security - would be available. But... whatever.

As it stands, 7+ years on and fully, completely, and unequivocally aware, Smartsheet still has the behavior that if someone can edit a single cell within a row of a sheet - they can delete the entire row! And, they can delete it without even getting a pop-up message to ask them if they're sure they want to delete it! (which is funny, because if they try to unlock it they get a pop-up - but if they try to delete it, they succeed without even being questioned)

And, as if it being absurdly easy to lose data wasn’t enough of a kick in the pants, they also still don’t have a true backup option available. Meaning, if you lose a sheet/row/etc – all they can provide you with is a flat excel sheet with a pile of unlinked attachments. All cell history, formatting, links, etc are gone gone gone.

Feel free to review the following community posts, and then decide if you'd like to open an enhancement request on this 7+ year old issue.

Smartsheet: PLEASE do the following:

1. IMMEDIATELY (stop-gap) Implement a pop-up message whenever someone tries to delete a row. (this is already done for the 'unlock row' feature, and should be fast and easy enough to implement for 'delete row')

-zero impact on existing user rights

AND

2a. (solution) Implement a change to the software that will allow sheet owners to prohibit deleting any row that contains a locked cell/column.

OR

2b. (solution) Implement a new user level that is "Editor - safe" where the user has all the rights of an Editor but where the 'delete row' functionality is greyed out. (There is only one permission difference between 'Editor - cannot share' and 'Editor - can share', so the precedent is there.)

Here is my ongoing (and incomplete) list of how many times Smartsheet has ignored this problem:
