SmartSheet Reports have limitations that make them useless for business

Docusign workflow links have stopped populating forms
I had set up several workflows and everything was working great for a few days when the links all seemed to break and I couldn't populate any of my forms anymore. I've tried rebuilding templates and remapping fields, yet nothing seems to work.
Mark parent row at risk if any child row is at risk?
This would seem to be a "project settings" sort of thing, but i can't find it. Is there a formula that can accomplish this?
Time Tracking and Invoicing Clients
I'm trying to find the best way to track time against projects using smart sheets in a way that billable time can be easily invoiced. Ive read through many community posts, but still cannot find something that is helpful, or a smart sheet template that I think will work wel. We currently use Zoho Projects for time entry.…
