Please enable us to select multiple contacts when sharing (was avialable a year or so ago)

✭✭✭✭✭

About a year or so ago, if you wanted to share anything in Smartsheet, you had the ability to bring up your entire contact list or type a keyword, you would then be able to select multiple contacts to share with the same customize message.

Please bring that back. It is a much-missed function. Thank you!

  • Hi @MMcLain

    Sharing a sheet to multiple people at one time with the same custom message is still possible! 😊

    You can select multiple people into the "Invite People" text box area:

    Then send the same custom message.

    If this isn't what you're looking for, it would be helpful to see some screen captures with examples of what you'd like.

    Thanks!
    Genevieve

    Thank you @Genevieve P..

    It seems there has been a misunderstanding. I am no longer able to take a screenshot as the feature is no longer available.

    Previously, you could click in the field under "Invite people and groups," enter your keyword, and a separate window would appear displaying all matches. This allowed for easy selection and verification without needing to review who was invited after the invite was sent.

    Another issue I noticed: when you click "Share now," your own email address is automatically added. This seems unnecessary, and to deleting your own email address, you need to delete one character at a time.

  • Hi @MMcLain

    To clarify, do you mean you would like a multi-select option after searching for a partial name?

    So if I type in "Gene", I see the list of names. From here, I want to select 3 different "Genevieve"'s. Current functionality means I'd need to type "Gene" 3x to see the 3 different Genevieves, selecting each one at a time.

    This request is to see a checkbox so you can search "Gene" once, see all possible matches, and click on 3 checkboxes to add them all into the search bar without needing to type in the keyword each time.

    If I've understood that correctly, I'll leave this idea open, thank you!

    In regards to the email populating, this is due to your browser's auto-fill settings for app.smartsheet.com. If you remove out the auto-fill login email address from your browser's settings, you'll see a blank window instead. πŸ™‚

    Cheers,
    Genevieve

    @Genevieve P. The following is correct. Thank you for keeping this open:

    This request is to see a checkbox so you can search "Gene" once, see all possible matches, and click on 3 checkboxes to add them all into the search bar without needing to type in the keyword each time.

    And thank you for the tip on stopping email populating!
