Re: Adding a dashboard link to a different dashboard
Hi all,
Yes, there was an ongoing investigation into this exact issue: Dashboard assets no longer appearing as an option to select as a shortcut widget. This had been escalated and should now be resolved!
If you're still not seeing them as an option, please sign out and then sign back in again. 🙂
Cheers,

Re: Did Shortcut Widget Loose the Ability to link Dashboards?
Hi @Lynn U, @kowal and @celtics345,
I'm jumping in here as I've tested this and it's working on my end. This is also discussed in this related thread: Adding a dashboard link to a different dashboard, where @cg80 has suggested the feature is now working again. It therefore looks like this may have been a temporary issue which is now resolved.
Could you all take a look again and see if you're still experiencing the issue? If you are, I'd recommend submitting a support ticket so the team can investigate.
Thanks!

Re: Folder-level permissions
While this is now possible with collections this solution isn't viable for many users in solving this problem as it's behind the enterprise paywall. Would be great to still have folder level permissions rolled out for all users in some function
Re: Corresponding with External contacts
Thank you for this!
I was looking more for correspondance just via email. Like is it possible to send an email through a comment, not share the sheet, and they reply to the email Smartsheets send, and that email gets posted in the discussion?
Ability to choose what to display when using contact list in a column
Sometimes would like to just display Initials or just the first Name or just the last name and not the whole name. Would like the flexibility to choose what is displayed.
Re: Can chat conversation notification be directed to the report rather than the main sheet?
I agree Stacie too much work to try chat with people you only want them to view in a Report. Not sure why they couldn't write code to direct the people to the report where the chat is origininating.
Re: COUNTIF Formula for Contact Column
The formula originally given should work
=COUNTIF({Contact},HAS(@cell,[Name(contact)]@row))
Example data:
Cross sheet look up:
If you're trying to do something different to this, let me know as I may have the wrong idea of what you're trying to accomplish!
Re: How to tirgger multiple different actions in response to a single Automation Trigger?
Thank you Frank. I understand the pattern now. I guess there's a trade-off. Your pattern keeps all of the actions in a single Automation (which is good, and what I was looking for), but introduces some potentially complicated conditional logic/flows. The alternative is two Automations (not ideal), but with a straightforward condition directly on the trigger.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions.

Re: New streamlined creation experience
I don't get to use Smartsheet as much in my new position, but was a super user in my previous job and am also surprised and disappointed with this 'strategic shift' release. Not every use of Smartsheet needs a workspace. Yes, group work where you can easily share a collection of multiple sheets, reports, dashboards for either targeted project or client is fantastic. But not having the ability to organize my own work and select between my personal sheets and a workspace is frustrating. It is like creating a new folder in a directory every time you create a new Word document. I should be able to default new items to my Sheets folder, like a personal directory, and if I need something new in a specific workspace I will do it there. This is a 'delta' in my opinion.
Re: New streamlined creation experience
Sent in feedback via the attached form on the OP, but want to publicly express my frustration here about this change. Who approved this? Without having a sheet space I am now resigned to create an individual workspace to share individual documents with people. I manage the Smartsheet account for 100 people in our office and share many documents at a singular level outside of our workspaces that are established. This is going to be problematic. I've already had to direct multiple employees to customer service who are having document issues as a result of this change.
Please restore this functionality immediately.
Worst. Change. Ever.
