Re: New streamlined creation experience
This has been a huge setback for our team as many workspaces are not shared but the sheets within them. We have team members and even myself where sheets are piling up in numbers but no organization is to be done with them. While I appreciate @Sean Carty the streamline of workspace, I think Smartsheet has missed the mark when it comes to "how our customers naturally get work done." If you're going to streamline the workspace then how the workspaces are shared needs to change (e.g. allow sharing of a folder in the workspace vs. the entire workspace).

Re: New streamlined creation experience
Hi @Genevieve P.,
I hope that someone inside the Smartsheet Product Dev team is hearing all this angst (by senior Community leaders) about these types of 'un-roadmapped' changes. Who ever asked for this? Who ever asked for the system icons and colors to change? Where is the EAP roadmap/pipeline of changes? It is just a 'watch-this-space' section, that somewhat randomly spits out a change and announces it as if it's the next best thing!
The premature GA of Table View is another example of poorly managed change (for change's sake).
There are many many 'quirks' in Smartsheet, that many many patient users/solution providers have complained about and suggested fixes to many many times, over many many years. Let's please fix these too (or first even)!
Re: New streamlined creation experience
This "new streamlined functionality" IS THE WORST! Of all the good and helpful things Smartsheets COULD HAVE done (based on thousands of ignored feedback requests) they create this mess instead. Pair this up with their very interesting "permissions" system (Workspace permissions vs sheets permissions) and they have now DOUBLED the amount of monitoring of folders and searching I need to do when someone shares a sheet/report/dashboard. Thanks for making my job harder and not easier! PowerBI is looking better all the time!

Re: Creating new Sheets in "Sheets" folder
Same here. I just want to browse, create a folder, and create a grid in the new folder. The options aren't there anymore. Hopefully this is a temporary glitch.

Re: Creating new Sheets in "Sheets" folder
Thanks David - I tried this but the "Save as New" function does not allow you to select the Sheets folder, only workspaces. I also tried drag-and-drop, this works for Workspaces but not for the Sheets folder.

Re: Creating new Sheets in "Sheets" folder
Hi Scott, I am having the same experience. I am a daily smartsheet user and am not aware of when this change was made. I make a lot of new content, recently that happened to be in Workspaces, but was under the impression that I should make a sheet at any time. There doesn't seem to be a non-workspace option at all. You can move sheets from workspace to workspace, or from Sheets into a workspace. But standalone Sheets don't appear to be supported.

May Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
Hey Community!
Last month we asked about your desk treasures, and it was a joy to read all the stories behind them. There was a bit of everything — a 3D printed dragon, your kid’s sweet notes, more than a few coffee mugs, and fun coworker gifts (like this wooden frog)! I loved seeing you connect while sharing how much meaning these little objects can hold.
Now, let’s switch it up again. Here’s a fun new chance to earn a badge and get to know your peers along the way.
How would you describe your job to a five year old?
I’m really looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Let's see how you break down your job for the little ones.

Re: Pivot App is not recognizing the Contact Columns
Hi Thomas, Thank you for the response but unfortunately as it is our main tracker and we have more than 10 contact columns and all were need to calculate summaries via pivot table.
We have entering the contacts manually with in the sheets itself and all were valid contacts. (We are not importing from outside).
After multiple testing I see error getting only when,
- Contact column activated multiple Contacts for a cell and
- Pivot Table build from a report (It is working fine when pivot is built directly into sheet)
These pivots we were built 3 years ago, it was working fine until last week and suddenly now Contact column values were not recognizing for Multi Select and Pivot built from a report.
A fix to the issue from the smartsheet would be a great help.

Re: Fill-down formula, while preserving formatting
Yes this can be done! To fill down a formula and formatting, single left click in the cell containing the formula and format, hold shift, and single left click on the last row you want to fill to. Next, press CTRL + D to fill down the formula and formatting.

Workspaces takes up a section of my screen
Hi Smartsheet,
Workspaces takes up a section of my screen and I'm not able to scroll all the way wide right when the Workspace panel is open. Please allow me to continue scrolling to view all my sheets's columns.
Thanks,
Eric
