Report to see if someone is really using their license

Have a report that shows

How often a license user is creating new sheets, adding column, automations, forms. Items that only a licensed user can do. This would help determine if someone really needs a license or if that license is being wasted. Thank you.

In the Admin center, you can view all users, see their last login, and download a Sheet Access report (this can be done for individual users, or all users in the account) that will tell you what items they own and have been shared to, and the last time the documents were updated.

I have that file but it is not really a good look at if someone is using their license. A dashboard view like I listed above would be better for determining actual license usage.

Preserve Original Filenames for Multi-Photo Uploads in Smartsheet Mobile App
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp.

Improve Load Times
Our consistent experience is that Smartsheet objects can take anywhere from 5-20 seconds to load. This feels extremely slow when you're actively facilitating a call and working between sheets, waiting for it to load. Other solutions in the industry have extremely fast, sub-5-second load times. I would request the product…
