Re: Custom Visualizations in Card View: horizontal rows & swim lanes
Swimlanes make the card view 10x more useful by grouping cards in two dimensions.
For example
- columns stack cards by status (started, in progress, stuck, completed)
- swimlanes group those cards by person
Here's an example from Mark Kraska
There are no current workarounds in Smartsheet.

Forms - Search within your list of forms
I would like to be able to search within my forms. I have a few sheets that have over 50 forms and it takes forever to scroll and find them.

Column border style
Hello!
Just a simple idea that might be interesting for other users. When you have many columns with different categories, there is no simple way to make a visual distinction that allows you to "group" data vertically.
So far, what I'm doing is to create a "fake" border using an empty column with background color. This has some issues, because there is a minimum width, and title is mandatory and must be unique.
The idea would be to define - at column level - some style (border thickness and color) for its left border (I think it would be enough to define just one (left or right) border)
Thank you
Jose

Have Smartsheet auto include a generated PDF in the notification email
Hello! Is there way to have Smartsheet auto include a generated PDF in the notification email it sends out once a form is filled out and submitted? I'm still relatively new to Smartsheet and I currently have the automation set up to generate a document with each form submission and send an email to a specified email address. However, as this is for an application, a PDF form is needed to forward along to underwriting for review. Having an option for the Smartsheet notification email to include a copy of the PDF itself would save the brokers time in not requiring them to go into Smartsheet to download the PDF. Is this a possible upgrade idea? Thank you!

Allow Count Unique Values Only In Report Column Summary
In addition to being able to count and sum a column in a report, I'd like Smartsheet to be able to count UNIQUE values within a group.
For example, I have a report shows me all tasks from multiple projects and groups by project manager. If I try to count the Project column to see how many projects each Project Manager has work on, Smartsheet returns the number of Tasks, not the number of Projects. If I could count unique values, I'd be able to get the metric I want and then create the figure I want.
Right now, I have to do a work-around using pivot tables to consolidate the data first, which is not ideal long-term.

Re: Include Images in cells through Forms
Using SS to manage an entire Quality Control system for a major construction project. Most tools performing beyond expectations.
After 1 year of activity, the only missing component is the ability to add image (by camera or photos) into a cell when filling out a form. Images in cells make the SmartSheets come alive.
In drafting a punch list, upwards of 10K line items for correction or repairs are entered by a Project Architect and or Owner.
The intention is to have a repeating Form that an Architect/Owner can fill out in each finished room. The biggest benefit of the image capture is that it is included in report distribution, allowing the receiver to review issue without repeatedly opening attachments. Much more efficient for time.
Re: Include Images in cells through Forms
@Genevieve Evans I am asking that image(s) be included into the form above the questions. Think of an order form. A customer would open a form and the image of a bag would appear and they would either select order or not order. If they choose not order and using logic, the next bag image would pop up for them to choose to order, and so on. Does that make sense? If not please let me know and maybe we can setup some time to meet and I can walk you through what I am looking for.
Best,
