Re: June Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
I hate to say it, but it's two Smartsheet communities that immediately come to mind! (Trust me, I have PLENTY more I'm part of!)😍
The first was our internal Cisco Smartsheet Community, led by our Customer Success person. It was magical - we solved each other's technical challenges while sharing snippets of our lives too. I still remember setting a special "ding" for the group notifications and eagerly checking whenever it went off!
My current favorite is much smaller - the peer chat I have with @Protonsponge Having that one person who truly gets both your professional challenges and personal journey is incredibly powerful. We bounce complex Smasrtsheet integrations off each other, vacation plans, home remodels, and food suggestions!
What makes both special? That authentic blend of professional expertise and genuine human warmth. The best communities aren't just about solving problems - they're about feeling genuinely connected to the people behind the questions and solutions.
Re: Finding a deleted sheet
Yes, it can be permanently deleted after 30 days. I'm not 100% sure, but if someone deletes it and you're the owner, it would still end up in your deleted sheets section.
Unfortunately, there isn't a central audit except maybe with the Premium Add-on feature, Event Reporting.

Re: Purchase Orders and Invoices Tracking Template
@Abby Davis I would love to take a look at your new template if possible! I am working on building a similar solution and am eager to see what you have come up with. Thank you!

Leading Zero in DD-Mon-YYYY
Can there be an option to enable the front Zero for the date format 27-Apr-2018?
Right now it will show only a single digit for days 1-9, and the Zero is needed to make the numbers unambiguous. (I didn't make this rule, just have to follow it.)

Provide a way to limit access to trials and evaluations to administrators only
Allowing any random employee to initiate a trial or evaluation of a product is really dumb, and there's no way to prevent it. This is both a policy violation and a liability for the company.
Please fix this huge limitation, even though it will interfere with the upselling gravy train.
Things like this are among the reasons I am actively opposed to the use of Smartsheet in our business.

DataTable connection error: "User error: Sheet not found"
I have a sheet that connects to a Data Table and has worked without any problems for a long time (6+ months of daily refreshing). All of a sudden I see this error. I open the sheet (which has not been deleted or moved) and I see the error in the attached screenshot in the DT connection. Which sheet is being referred to that can't be found? Clearly the sheet exists. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Third option for Approval Workflows
Yes, we wanted to have a third option recently in a workflow we created, "Approve" "Decline" "Counter Offer". It would be nice if you can add the ability to add additional buttons in these instances and allow the workflow to have additional paths for each button.

Re: Third option for Approval Workflows
I'm trying to set up a Smartsheet for collecting information for new stock items.
I've got Form to collect the Data and then it gets sent to an Approver to check the Information.
I'd like Approver to be able to have the three Options but we are currently limited to two.
Approve - Yes we are stocking
Reject - No we are not stopping
Modify - We might stock but need more information.
I can set this up by using an Update request, Displaying the Form Data with Dynamic Placeholders and having a Dropdown with the Approve/Reject/Modify options. It works but is not as good as an Approval Workflow.
Re: Third option for Approval Workflows
Agree. This is painful and forces us to use teams instead.

Re: Restore data deleted from a sheet in Smarsheets
You Can recover recently deleted data from a sheet in Smartsheet. Here are a few method you can try:
Activity Log: Check the Activity Log to see if you can find the deleted data. You can request a Snapshot from the Activity Log, which will send an Excel file to your email containing the lost data
Deleted Items: If the entire sheet was deleted, you can recover it from the Deleted Items section. Navigate to the left sidebar, select Browse, scroll to the bottom, and choose Deleted Items. Right-click the item and select Undelete
Filters: Sometimes data might appear missing due to active filters. Ensure that no filters are hiding the rows you are looking for
Backups: If you have automatic backups set up, you might be able to restore the sheet from a recent backup
