Dear Smartsheet Santa

Michelle Maas

The amount of admin time spent on Smartsheet is excessive, time consuming, and uneconomical. For example, every time we copy or move rows to another sheet with the same column names, the formulas are lost, so we have to manually enter and remap each and every formula for several rows and sheets, which takes days to complete. Is it possible to 1. create universal references so once created it can be used in any sheet, and 2. copy/move formulas, not just values?

A huge disappointment is the mobile view and functionality. Our engineers, when on site, cannot always use their laptop and it is incredibly difficult to update project sheets on their mobile, let alone navigate any of the other sheets the business uses to collaborate. Jira has better functionality and although it can be integrated to Smartsheet, as a small business this is not a cost effective solution. Please can the mobile app user experience be improved.

It is not within a small company's budget to be able to upgrade to a higher plan just to access pivot tables. Will Smartsheet consider including pivot table functionality in the Business Plan?

Can the number of references in a sheet be increased. Having to break out reporting sheets and do workarounds just to keep reporting functioning is not an effective way to operate. Trying to do forecasting in Smartsheet is better than Excel but has many limitations that Excel does not.

When we comment against a row and cc-email a person in, then move the row, can the link stay with the row regardless of where it moves to. Is it possible the URL is tied to the row, not the sheet?

The business plan resource planning is limited which means we have to manually complete time reports to work out the hours to charge against projects. This means duplication of tasks in Smartsheet against project or department sheet, then copied into time reports in Smartsheet. Can this be improved without having to upgrade?

Hi @Michelle Maas

Thank you for taking the time to post your wish-list! There are many different great ideas in here, however since they're so varied other members will have difficulty voting on this post as they can't vote for each item separately.

Because of this, I've moved your post out of the Product Ideas section. I've looked through our current ideas and have a list of related ones that you may want to add each related individual comment/suggestion to instead:

Copy row + formulas:

• Copy Row from one sheet to another with formula

Mobile Ideas that are currently open for voting:

• Mobile App Sheet Filtering
• Ability to modify report filters on mobile devices
• Create or adjust formulas on Mobile App
• set reminders on mobile

Pivot functionality:

• Pivot Table Like UI For Creating Metrics in Sheet Summaries

Cross sheet reference:

• Remove or Increase Cross Sheet Reference Limitations

There's another discussion around sheet limits in general that has a response that may be of interest to you:

• Increase sheet row and column limits

Comment Email URL staying active when row moved:

• No Idea yet around this, please submit a new, individual idea to allow other members to vote on this!

Resource planning related ideas:

• Please let Smartsheet work with time

If these are not close enough to what you're wanting, please create a separate unique post per-idea so that other members can vote on the ones they want to see Smartsheet implement as well.

Thanks!
