Create a "This & Next Week Projects Report" in Smartsheet using RM advanced reporting
Hello, For a while now my teams have been missing a way to see their workload in the coming weeks.

Copying Rows and their attachments work around
Currently Smartsheet doesn't have the ability to copy rows including their attachments. I've found a workaround that is much quicker than uploading all the attachments individually on other rows.
