I have a Smartsheet that has be shared and is in use with others in our business.
My problem is I am unable to see any input to the sheet that has ben done.
What do I need to do to see this. Thanks
Hi Warren,
Before you can see any changes, other users shared to the sheet will either need to:
If any of these events occur, you will see a "Refresh" icon and alert in the sheet's tab advising you that changes have been made.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
Hi Warren, though smartsheet doesn't show you changes as they occur, you can apply formatting to highlight anything that has changed in the past, x days hour, etc.
See my screenshot for how to set this up.
The way SS forces you to have to refresh to find where the changes have been made is not very efficient. Places like Drive allow you to see others making edits in real time. Is there already a request to have this feature added?
I agree with Mark this feature is very important for us
This is a must. Other web apps (Office, Google Sheets, Wrike), provide real time updates. I don't see why Smartsheet cannot implement this.
yes why SS cannot ?
Has there been any change/update to this? We will not be able to use SS for our company after all, not if we can't see what cells people are working in. We wanted to replace Office365's Excel with SS for a tracker sheet that 10 people work on simultaneously. Right now, it seems like everyone would be overwriting each other's data if they don't know what rows other people are working in.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
