Multiple resource allocations with different % per task

a user in disguise

We'd like to be able to allocate a number of resources to a task with different levels of % allocation. Currently we have to create the same task multiple times.

I've had multiple clients ask for this capability. Duplicating tasks just so different people can be assigned with different allocations is not seen as a good workaround. It seems to be a fairly standard use case for managing resources and I recommend it is considered for future implementation in Resource Management/Smartsheet.

Hi! I'd like to also ask for the same feature update. We have large, complex projects to manage and having to duplicate rows for resourcing creates extra complexity and room for error. It would be really great to assign different % allocations for different individuals within the same line item

We are a Smartsheet partner, and our clients use Smartsheet to manage their projects within our application. Many of our large clients have specifically requested this feature. Please see the attached document for more details. This functionality is a standard feature in Microsoft Project, Asana, and Planview.

Backup all workspaces

I know someone is going to tell me "even system admins cannot backup workspaces they are not shared to, and can only backup workspaces they own or are shared with." So, let me do that. At least let me…
Notifications for Pivot Errors
Smartsheet does not currently send automated error notifications to Pivot workflow owners when workflows fail, unlike the notification behavior for DataTables, Data Shuttle, and Meshes. Also, when column mappings break on a mesh, the mesh will continue to run with an error. We should expect the same functionality from a…
