Show Sheet Owners whether the people they are sharing to are members, provisional members, or viewer
With the new changes to the licensing model for Smartsheet, there will be an impact from sheet admins/owners sharing their sheets to users who are not licensed. Unfortunately, the sheet owners have no way of knowing which of the collaborators are already licensed.
I propose a feature where licensed users can see the license status of individuals when sharing their sheets. This would help users identify who already has a license and avoid unnecessary provisional licensing. When users go to share a sheet, there should be some kind of indicator (a check mark or something) next to the names/icons of those who have a license, similar to the way that when you are sharing a sheet, you can tell whether the user has an account based on their icon appearing.
This would allow sheet owners/admins to self serve and take responsibility for the license impact of their usage.

Re: Allow multiple contacts per cell AND Restrict to list values only - Not Working
Hi Genevieve,
Voila! That is the answer! I would have never guessed at that sequence, so I really appreciate your response :)
So, to summarize, the steps are:
- Enter Contacts into the Contact List (If you have any in your My Smartsheet Contacts list or elsewhere on the sheet, they will already show in this list. I will call this the "general contact list".
- For each Contact, that you want to be part of the "Restrict to list values only" list, you must now "Click" on each one of them.
- When done, each of the Contacts you clicked on (from the "general" list), will now be part of the "restrictive" list.
From a visual perspective, here is what the "general" Contact List looks like:
This is what the "selected" (restrictive) list looks like:
With the only visual difference being that the "general list" appears to "pop-over" the chosen/restrictive list (just a little bit) (highlighted in yellow below):
Thanks!

Re: New streamlined creation experience
I'd like to echo all of the above feedback. It's been pretty clear to me that your designers and product managers may not have the strongest understanding of their different users and their interactions with Smartsheet. I'm still scratching my head on how the 'favorites' icon is 6th out of 9 on the sidebar list. Side note, I only found this because I'm (still) searching for the value-add for worksapps/collections.

Re: Text Wrapping on Report Group Headings
It would be nice to be able to text-wrap the group names above the primary column so they aren't cut off.

Re: Rename labels when using custom colours
You can use a separate sheet with formulas containing cross sheet references.
Put the desired labels in one column and in the next column a COUNTIFS to count how many are for that color.

Re: Accidentally unsubscribed from notification in a row, how do I get the notifications turned back on?
Hi
You can easily resolve it if you have access to the workflow which had sent the notification through which you had Unsubscribed to it.
Just clone the existing workflow and delete the old one.
That's it! You will start receiving the notifications again.
Hope this helps!

Re: How do you use Smartsheet with Microsoft Teams?
Though I am not an avid user of Teams as I mainly use Google Workspace, I have recently been experimenting with Power Automate (and Teams) as an extension of my interest in the Smartsheet API and Bridge App.
Candidates I can think of for integrating Smartsheet with Teams, which could be useful for different workflows, include:
Send Notifications to Teams Channels
Smartsheet’s built-in workflow automation sends alerts directly to a Teams channel. This is useful for notifying team members about real-time project updates, approvals, or status changes.
Automate Data Updates from Teams to Smartsheet
Teams' meeting application generates an attendance report in CSV format. I set up a workflow using Power Automate that automatically extracts the relevant data from the file uploaded to OneDrive or SharePoint, and updates a Smartsheet sheet. This helps track participation in meetings or training sessions.
Trigger Power Automate from Smartsheet Actions
Since Power Automate lacks a direct Smartsheet trigger, I use Smartsheet’s automation to send emails or messages to a Teams channel. These events can then trigger Power Automate workflows, such as:
- Updating Microsoft Planner with Smartsheet tasks
- Creating a Teams meeting when a specific row in Smartsheet meets certain criteria
- Sending task assignments to a Teams user
Sync Smartsheet Tasks with Microsoft Planner
For those who manage tasks in both Smartsheet and Planner, it's possible to create a Power Automate flow that syncs tasks between the two platforms, allowing users to take advantage of Planner’s visualization tools like boards, schedules, and charts.
Schedule Teams Meetings Based on Smartsheet Data
A workflow can be built where a new row in Smartsheet (with relevant meeting details) triggers the creation of a Teams meeting, reducing the need for manual scheduling.
Use Adaptive Cards for Teams Notifications
By combining Smartsheet, Power Automate, and Teams, you can send interactive notifications using Adaptive Cards. These allow users to take action (such as approving or rejecting a request) directly from Teams without switching to Smartsheet.
I’m still exploring different possibilities, but I'd love to hear how others have leveraged this integration!😀
Re: Bring Back the Outlook Add-In - Please upvote this!
I 100% agree. I used that to post things to Smartsheet all day long and now with New Outlook, I cannot. Smartsheet, please enhance this tiny, but might tool to work with Microsoft's update to New Outlook!
