Auto-number based on selected category for project ID
I track all projects under ~7 programs in a Smarsheet. I have auto-numbering on for the column, but it numbers new projects at "PT135" or whatever. I'm looking for a way for it to only auto-number based on the selected program, so if I select Beverage, the project ID will be "BEV135," or an edible would be "EDB123." Is…
Clear background / highlighting colors
I added the "Modified" column to a report that feeds my dashboard. Some of the dates are highlighted yellow and some aren't. I checked the source sheets and I don't see any yellow. There was in the past, but it has long been removed and does not show up on any other reports. How do I get rid of the yellow highlighting that…
Dates must be formatted correctly
Has anyone else ran into this issue? I have two separate accounts, and I started getting this same error on every form submission for both. This must have started two or three weeks ago.
Published report views from Dashboards

Individual Alert Emails
Is there a way to set up a workflow alert that sends a separate email (even if going to the same person) for each row that meets that criteria?
Scheduling by Skillset
Hello! I am wondering if you can set scheduling on Smartsheet, and if you can, a program on Smartsheet for scheduling based on employee skill sets on Smartsheet. If there is, how would I go about doing that, and what ways can we incorporate those skillsets for each employee under a saved file that can be easily edited as…
Dynamically Add columns
Hello, I have a form that was created that we send to a group of individuals asking them to update the status. Currently, the form is formatted as a text box where we are the individual to format the date and add a comment. As you can imagine this doesn't allow for the best reporting. I am curious is there a way to create…
Bug in Edit Form View
I am experiencing what appears to be a bug in the Edit Form (see image below). *NOTE* I am only experiencing this when the column is a Contact List with "Allow multiple contacts per cell" enabled. When you select the field to make an entry the entry field snaps to the bottom of the window. Also if you click on the arrow to…

Why is the owner column blank on the access report?
I have downloaded the access report and can see all of the sheets and their admins, viewers, tec. But the owner column is blank? We are transitioning to the new model and I need to know who the owners are. Thanks!
Is there a comparison of the Free license vs a Paid license on an enterprise account.
I'm always being asked questions as what is included on the free tier vs the license tier. It would be great to have a comparison features chart to reference that was up to date. Maybe there is one or someone has made one.
