Allow report to lock filters but still enable editing for those it is shared with
Hi @c_giroux
This is already possible! If you share the source sheet and the Report to your collaborators with only Edit permission, then they will not be able to change the Filter in the Report but they'll still be able to add data into the cells of the Report.
Is that what you were looking to do?
Cheers,
Genevieve
Yes! Thank you! The unfiltered data is sensitive so I wanted to make sure they are unable to alter the filter.
In order to see data in a Report, the underlying sheet will also need to be shared. This means they could access the Sheet to see the data that's being filtered out of the Report.
You could add the Report to a Dashboard and share the information that way, but it will be View-Only. The other alternatives are to use the Premium application Data Shuttle to surface rows without sharing the underlying sheet, or house the Report in a Workapp.

Helloe Everyone! I’m trying to reference another sheet in Smartsheet, but I’ve noticed that sometimes it loads quickly, while other times it takes a very long time to display the list. Does anyone know why this happens? Is there a way to reduce how often this issue occurs? Today, I can’t get anything to load at all. 😑
Hello - Is there a work around in a Report to list multiple sheets in an order that I choose? Sorting doesn't give me the order in which I want them to appear in the report or in a widget on a dashboard. I would like them in a specific order. Thank you.
I need to revise/expand a filter - the list of items in the filter NOT the filter name - in a dashboard I created. Is this done through the dashboard or through the main data sheet?
