Data Shuttle // smartsheet ownership change

Shawn Church

I had a smartsheet that imported data using Data Shuttle. I transfered ownership of the sheet to another person and I know I can not transfer the ownership of the Data Shuttle workflow that is updating that sheet.

My question is: What happens if the new owner of the sheet creates a new Data Shuttle workflow? Will it conflict with the current workflow? It's a bit of a hypothetical, but I'm currious about how to manage the data, or if we should consider a new sheet.

Thoughts?

If you are ok with it, you can keep the Data Shuttle without it breaking anything.

Otherwise you are going to want to time having them build the new one and you deleting the existing one because it could potentially cause some issues. If they are identical, it usually doesn't hurt anything, but it can be a little hit or miss depending on all of the settings and whatnot.

Thanks - that's what I was thinking. If for some reason the workflow ever breaks, they can just reach out to me.
