Re: Why is parent row showing up in an automated notification?
@trenner - I think I just found the answerβ¦.buried within an article.

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.

Re: What view are you? Share your story and claim your badge
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.
Re: What view are you? Share your story and claim your badge
I use Grid view mostly for my project plans. Just makes it easier to see what I (and the team) need. Occasionally will switch to a different view, but it's pretty rare.

Re: What view are you? Share your story and claim your badge
I'm defiantly a grid view girlie. The other views are great for projects that have big ideas, but the automation and the ability to manage complicated parts of a project work so well with grid. I'll hop to calendar or card, but grid is the best view for those details.

Re: What view are you? Share your story and claim your badge
I am team Grid view. Its what works best for me.

Re: Can automation create a new sheet from a template?
Has anyone posted this Idea yet? I could also really use this functionality and I'd like to vote for it.

Being Proactive with User Subscription Model User Management
I keep reading Smartsheet articles that refers to the User Type report to best manage our current users as we transition to the USM. The Sheet Access report helps identify who was shared to an asset, who owns the asset and when the asset was last modified. This allows me to put responsibility on the Asset Owners to audit their shared assets to determine if any of them can be removed, downgraded or if removing ALL the users is an option (this allowed owners to keep their asset and the data especially the assets that haven't been modified in over a year).
My questions/concerns:
- When I run a formula in the Sheet Access report for the number of unique users shared to an asset, the number of internal users with Commenter or higher permissions and external Admin permissioned users is significantly greater than the user count in the User Type report.
- If the User Type report is in fact the report that will be used to identify Members and provisional Members when we transition to USM, what happens to the users NOT in that report that appear on the Sheet Access report?
- After the first provisional period, should we continue to refer to the User Type report as the report to manage our users despite additional users appearing on the Sheet Access report?
Refresh on Filter
It would be great if there was an option inside a filter that every time you apply that filter, the sheet automatically refreshes first.

Re: Help understanding the new user subscription model
So, for those who would be guests (outside of our organization with an outside domain) would be "free guests".
But does that individual (or their company) need to have their own paid license/membership to access Smartsheet in general (WorkApps, Dashboards or Sheets themselves) in USM?
Are they called "free" because WE aren't paying for them?
Or is the free guest, actually FREE, from all sides?
We have contractors (outside domains) with current access to our sheets (in Legacy). They currently have an Enterprise account, but we don't know at this time if they are staying with Smartsheet. We want to know how their access to our sheets will be affected going forward with the User Subscription Model, for both, if they continue with their own USM or if they leave Smartsheet.
Thanks,
E
