Can a Dynamic View be added to a WorkApp?

Celia Gust

My company is considering stepping up to Enterprise. WorkApps are one reason. I think adding a Dynamic View to a WorkApp would be very useful, but I can't figure out if it's possible. Mostly I am seeing comments that say no, but the article below says yes:

Add pages to your WorkApp | Smartsheet Learning Center

https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2482192-add-smartsheet-content-to-your-workapp#toc--add-dynamic-views

Log in to WorkApps. Hover over the WorkApp you want to edit, and select Edit

Any boot on the ground insights?

Hi @Celia Gust

Yes! As long as those non-licensed collaborators are shared to both the Dynamic View and are in a Role in your WorkApp that can see the Dynamic View page, then yes, they can work in Dynamic View through the WorkApp Page.

Cheers,

Hey @Celia Gust

To clarify, adding a Dynamic View as it's own page (versus through a Web Content url) is a feature that was just released this week!! This is likely why you're seeing a discrepancy between previous discussions and the current Help Article.

Here's the announcement post:

Adding Dynamic Views to WorkApps just got easier!

Hi Community, 

We are very excited to announce that Licensed Dynamic View users now have a new and more intuitive way to add Dynamic Views to your WorkApps. Dynamic Views can now be added to a WorkApp directly from the “Add pages” menu. You will now see a new content type in your WorkApps left-hand menu with the Dynamic View logo to add new pages in WorkApps. 

In addition to seeing all of your Dynamic Views in one place, you can search, sort, filter, and preview your Dynamic Views to easily find what you are looking for. You can also select one or more Dynamic Views to add to your WorkApp and jump directly into the Dynamic View if you want to change permissions. Additionally you will see a new Dynamic View content type in WorkApps with the new Dynamic View logo for those pages in WorkApps. 

Please find the Help article here.

Note: We have performed a one-time conversion of all existing Dynamic Views in all WorkApps to the new Dynamic View page type for a consistent experience moving forward.

You can also stay informed by Subscribe to receive product release updates for curated news of recently released product capabilities and enhancements for the platform of your choosing, delivered to your inbox. As new releases occur, you will receive a weekly email with news of what's released every Tuesday. 

Cheers,

John Hieger

I now have a follow on question. If a Dynamic view is added to a WorkApp and we have a Collaborator Pack, then can external, non-licensed users view and edit the content?
