Re: Option to Not Include Sheet Link on Notifications
Can't upvote enough!!! I constantly have to decline sheet access requests for this very issue. Yes we can use the {{}} to add columns to a message body, but that only works well when you have one row being sent- otherwise you get duplicated messages. The functionality of having the table at the bottom of the email without the sheet link would be perfect!

Re: Dashboard colored panels
Hi Paul,
Can you explain in more detail your response please.
I have followed what you suggested but the widget title when coloured is noticeably wider that the cell when coloured. Also, I cent see how to shade the text in the cell below the number. See below.
Thanks
Phil
I'd love to have a second row of headers
I don't even need them to be all that functional. Just be able to group Columns, allow me to open/close the entire group, and be able to use it in curly brackets to bring the entire group at once into a notification. Sorta like Parent rows, but for columns.
It not only helps with speed of development, but also in the visual organization of a sheet.

Re: Dashboard Background Colouring Theme Limitations
Smartsheet allows you to:
- Create custom themes for dashboards, including setting canvas and widget colors.
- Apply these themes across dashboards by exporting/importing
.jsontheme files.
However, individual widget background customization is still limited:
- You can set a background color for widgets, but this applies uniformly to all widgets of the same type (e.g., all metric widgets), not individually.
- There is no native support yet for per-widget background colors or borders, which makes it difficult to visually separate or highlight specific widgets.
Some users have tried:
- Using images or rich text widgets with colored backgrounds as visual separators.
- Creating multiple dashboards with different themes and embedding them via web content widgets (a bit hacky and not ideal).

Re: Post Collection Release - Still Need Folder-Level Permissions
Folder level permissions are still needed. Collections doesn't answer this question without several workarounds.
Reply to comment via Email for table view sheet
In the grid view, the user who is tagged with the @ sign in the comment gets an email with the comment. The user can respond to the comment directly by replying to the email. The response will be added to the existing comment as a conversation on the sheet automatically.
This reply to a comment directly via email does not work with the table view. When the user replies to the email, the message does not get added to the existing comment as a conversation.
Can we request reply to a comment directly via email to work with the table view, please? It will help streamline our workflow significantly. Thanks.
Re: Elapsed Days in Predecessor Field
In the Pharma industry, my business relies on being able to schedule items 30, 60, 90, or even longer out for stability related activities. The team has to rely on searching the number of business days for those lengths of times and isn't always exact due to holidays, site shutdowns, etc. It would be much easier for them to have elapsed days. Also, if any preceding activities move, this still remains the standard - their math may not align with new dates and thus throwing off their timelines.

No forced refresh in the middle of editing form logic
Form Logic can be very tricky, and when you send me a popup that I can't X out of to save first, all I can do is click refresh, that ruined everything I was working on!
What a waste of time!😡

Re: March Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
I would like to be able to share a report without sharing the underlying sheet. The filters should be lockable to prevent users from changing the view and seeing all data. This would allow reports to be curated for specific audiences and only allow them to see data applicable to them. Currently using WorkApps, but it adds extra steps and additional licensing is required.
