Milestones displayed as diamonds in Calendar App
Currently, all tasks including milestones are displayed as a bar in Calendar App. Checkmark at the bottom of bar for milestones is not immediately visible. It will be useful to customize the symbol, specifically have the ability to switch milestones to diamonds, in Calendar App.
Re: Linking Predecessors to Other Sheets
Agree that it would be extremely useful to enable cross-sheet predecessors to integrate diverse and interdependent workstreams owned by different resources. Thanks.
Re: Join the conversation on STEM education and help nurture the next generation of visionaries
When I was a teenager, growing up in Paris, we all knew about the brilliant, amazing ''femme d'exception'' that was Marie Curry (Maria Salomea Skłodowska) - so, it was without surprise that her name first came to mind after reading this Join the conversation topic.
I see her name has been submitted, and I am not sure I could express my respect any better than @Marcela - so I decided to present another woman, whom at the age of 14, was certainly not your ordinary high schooler.
When she was a toddler, she learnt algebra by watching her older siblings study. Before her fifth birthday, her favourite pastimes were reading books and solving mathematical problems.
She was already in her first year of medical school, at the age of 20! When most people of her age were adjusting to student life as an undergraduate, she had already graduated from medical school.

Re: Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request
Put me in the camp that would love to see Dynamic Dropdowns like in Excel.
Just a basics.....if you choose something in Column A it narrows down your choices in Column B, which narrows down choices in Column C, etc.
Column A - Chevy, Ram, Ford (choose Chevy)
Column B - narrow down to only transmissions for Chevy. (Choose the proper transmission)
Column C - Show the proper documentation for the choices above.
Re: Chart Labels: drag labels overlap & stacked column labels
Reposting this here from another thread on advisement from @Genevieve P.:
We also need this to be fixed. It is preferred to have labels inside the bars for stacked bar charts, and options in general for series labels. We have a >10-stage process and are using the stacked bar chart to demonstrate % completion for each stage. In case it is helpful, we see label overlaps if a previous stage is 100% complete and subsequent stages are <50% complete. I am not able to expand the chart wider to minimize the overlaps due to the set dashboard width.
Introduce yourself & get to know your peers!
Hi there,
Get to know other members in the Community and take a minute to introduce yourself in the comments below. Feeling at a loss for words and need a little inspiration? Tell us where you’re from, your role, how you use or hope to use Smartsheet and a fun fact or two about yourself. (We love to learn about your interests and hobbies). Bonus points if you include a photo.
I'll start, I'm Arsineh, I lead our Community team here at Smartsheet. Forms are among one of my favorite Smartsheet features. I live in California. I love to travel (and have visited nearly 30 countries). I'm a mom of two young girls and I'm terrible at keeping house plants alive.
Now it's your turn. Comment below. ⬇️

Re: Workflow: both Copy and LINK specific columns from one sheet to another
Datamesh works in concept of moving specific columns, but datamesh does not work with specific automations, such as if a status changes or a date gets added. It also doesn't include attachments.

Automation Lock Column
We need to auto-lock a column based on criteria like we can lock rows within the automation workflow.

So thankful for Dashboards! The ability to visualize the data we use every day has really built support from our executive team. They are able to quickly understand the pictures we paint with this data and have fully backed rolling out Smartsheet use cases across the organization after seeing more of its potential.

Multiple Filters In Reports that Collaborators can Choose/Select
I want to be able to develop 1 master log and create reports and forms for employees to use to change or add data. In order to change filters, I believe you need more permissions than an editor.
To follow through with my idea, the editors would need to be able to change the filters.
What if we had the option to lock or unlock individual or group filters within reports?
For example, if I want an employee to look up an order, they can enter the order number in the filters. I can set the report to have multiple filters ("locked") to minimize clutter, but would like to see editors able to change any "unlocked" filters.
This will definitely increase productivity and help with error handling for employees with minimal permissions. Also, if I have multiple reports created for each individual employee, they would be able to lookup data without changing someone else's lookup.
Multiple reports for individuals could also call for permissions to be granted per report and not granted for the whole workspace. I don't want to give the whole company admin permissions, but would like a little more flexibility for editors.
