We really need this feature PLEASE! It will help us a lot!

Any updates on this?  I really need to restrict access to certain columns, per FERPA guidelines, so that every tradesman doesn't see our residents' names and contact info, but I can't figure out how to do this.  Is it a feature yet?

Thanks,

Jonathan

+1 for hiding sheet columns based on user/role

Yes please add another vote to this... We cannot keep adding and linking sheets it is counter-productive. Are there any updates on this specifically since the last update? I need to have all staff working off the same data - something will go wrong with manual linking and human input, the less manipulation of data the better. Please please add the ability to restrict column views when shared to specific editors.

I'd also really like to see this update made. Hiding certain columns from certain users would be a huge help. It would be much easier than creating extra sheets/reports.

+1 on this feature. We're probably going to get rid of SmartSheet if we can't control who sees what part of a sheet, this was purportedly a main advantage of this system, but turning out to be a big dud.

Add my vote to this feature as well. Can't run a project without budget info and if we do include it then we can't collaborate without the ability to hide columns selectively for certain users only.

+1 for this function. This would be a key-feature for futur use in our company. I bought the current plan for a deeper evaluation run.

Now with GDPR is even more important to hide sensitive data to third parties, and I am sure it is not too difficult to implement this.

One option would be to be able to restrict users from exporting to excel the sheet. In this way it would be sufficient to publish the sheet view only with the hidden columns.

Another vote to either hide or mask columns for individual users. This is integral for our training sheets in combination with GDPR and no workaround has been proven practible so far.

As announced as a new premium app this week, Dynamic View sounds like the solution.

Agree - hide column would be great - is this really a "premium" capability (purchase Dynamic View) though?  Seems like a basic feature that has been requested for several years.
