Option to sort by sheet owner is missing?

Melyssa_Lucas

Hi all,

When looking under "Browse > sheets" I no longer have the option to filter the list by owner. Is that option gone or is there a way to get that option back? I work for a large company & am constantly being shared to new sheets + creating my own new sheets. When the sheet name is changed, the only way I can successfully look for the sheet I'm searching is to sort my "Browse > sheets" by owner as I can usually remember who shared the sheet with me or created it. These are the only options I'm currently able to see:

I also need that column back. It was very useful for me. Why would that even be removed? Can't think of a good use case for not having it.

@Genevieve P.,

Can you help shed any light on this? 💡 😊

Hi all,

Yes, I'd be happy to help clarify. This change was made as part of our move to establish plans as asset and workspace owners rather than individuals. (Here's an announcement post about this if you haven't seen it yet!)

However, based on your feedback it's clear that the removal of the owner of column has impacted your work and the Product team is currently working on remedying this for you, providing either a creator or owner information where you used to see them in Browse. I don't have an ETA on this, but they are listening to the feedback coming in regarding this change. Please feel free to add your vote to this related Product Idea to continue the conversation.

In the meantime, you can learn who the creator of an asset or a workspace is by going to its Properties.

Cheers,
Genevieve

Thanks @Genevieve P.!!
I knew you would be able to help! 😊

I can see how this new update should make things better. Meanwhile it would still be nice to have that extra piece of information at a glance.

Thanks for clarifying!

I'm definitely also missing this column… It provided an easy way to find "my" sheets in a shared workspace. I suppose if we add a field to all sheets that contains the "owner" name then we could create a sheet summary report that is sorted by that field… just seems like an extra step.
