Calendar as default view when shared in Teams tab
Is there a way to ensure a Smartsheet imported to Teams always displays in Calendar view? I think I have been able to save this view as the default in Smartsheet itself, but when I open the sheet's tab in Teams it displays as grid view. I signed out of Teams and signed back in to check whether the changes just needed to go…
Does Smartsheet provide a means of calculating project costs over time?
Hi all, I'm currently setting up a number of project plans on Smartsheet and need to also implement a budget plan for these, particularly to baseline how costs are projected to be spent over time.

Newbie: Can I have row comments automatically populate a "Comments" column?
Hi...I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I like that the comment tool allows multiple lines of commentary from a single person vs the limitations of trying to add notes in a "Comments" or "Notes" column.

Approval Signature
Hi, I use SMARTSHEET because it is intuitive. However I am wondering why there is no way to add an approval signature when approving forms. I do not want to use integrated apps where I have to pay. I see a lot of comments asking how to add signatures so I know it is needed. This is 2021, and I am just curious why…

Target Date/Delta info vs Baseline in PMO plan template
Hello! I've read through several past posts related to this but couldn't quite find my answer. We are using the PMO plan template and have activated the baseline feature. My manager has asked if there is a reason to keep the Target Start/End date columns as well as the related Delta columns since they're basically the same…
Using a Gantt Chart to calculate a Start Date from an End [due] Date
I'm a Smartsheet newbie . . . . We have a repeating process at work that takes us a fixed amount to time to complete. I created a 'typical' Gantt chart with predecessors and duration in days and used a random start date to make sure everything is working. It is. Is there a way to take the 'typical' chart, change the end…
Restriction for email entered into form
We are trying to update a field on our form, where the submitter enters their email. Recently someone entered their personal email, which we do not want.
