Hidden Columns in Card View

John_Foster

I am not sure if this is the right place for this. I have recently created a sheet with approximately a dozen fields which I have placed at the end which are hidden. This is because those fields are used for automation tasks or dashboard charts.

However, whilst the fields are hidden to stop users from seeing something that they do not need to see, we now have users wishing to use the card view as they are used to working in this manner and the fields are displayed in the card view.

Is there a way to hide these fields when opening a card in card view? If not, is this something that others think would be a good addition to Smartsheet?

Hi @John_Foster

I hope you're well and safe!

You can select which fields should be visible by default (up to 9, I think), but any user can still open the card/row and see everything on it.

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå,

I am good thanks, I hope you are too!

Yeah, I can see how to amend the card view, but the issue is when a user drills into the card they can see everything.

It would be a great addition to be able to hide columns when you have drilled in like you can in grid view.

Excellent! Yes, I am, except I'm battling a man cold 😉

Happy to help!

It would be fantastic to hide columns completely, like in an Admin mode.
