User name display
Hi
I am adding new users to smartsheet but would prefer that their first and last names show and not just their email addresses.Β This happens even if I add them to my contacts?
Is there something that I am not doing correctly? which is not allowing the display of their names the way we want it.
Any assistance is appreciated.
thanks

I agree with Terry Lewis, it is frustrating when color choice is forgotten.

Re: Automate reminders for Update Requests
I agree that some kind of automatically recurring reminders "until they do what they're supposed to" are needed. This could (and should) also apply to the Approval workflow.
The current workaround of setting up multiples upon multiples of automations "in case" someone doesn't provide the required info is too cumbersome and can quickly push you up against the # of automation limit.

Re: Automate reminders for Update Requests
This is exaclty right! The ability to manually resend when necessary, automated reminders for pending requests, reports of pending requests, and notifications for managers so follow can happen.
Love the collaboration here!

Bi-directional Updates to/from Conversation Pane via Latest Comment column with timestamp
Hi. Currently updates are only unidirectional from the comments pane to the Latest Comment column type and don't have timestamps but only the name of the commenter. Can there be a way where any editor/admin who types something into the latest comment type column has the comment recorded in the conversation pane? This has been a pain point in our rollout of the latest comment column.

I'm all about the Grid View - being a huge fan of making excel do things it really shouldn't, I've definitely taken to the grid view and formula writing.

Grid view is my go-to for sheets used to track my day-to-day tasks. Our team is starting to use the Gantt view for project management and communicating milestones to management.
