Creating/managing daily task lists

jshepard20881

I'm new to SmartSheet, which my team has started using to manage collaborative projects. I'm trying to figure out the easiest/best way to generate a daily task list for myself drawing from the sheets I've created for the multiple projects that I manage.

Your suggestions are most welcome!

I copy rows from my sheets onto ONE sheet that I use as a task list. All the info is then recorded on the other sheets but in one place for me.

I am also trying to figure out the best way to accomplish this, but without manually copying & pasting into another task list sheet.  Wondering if there is a way to use the linked cells feature to do this but haven't been able to figure it out yet.

Just a thought...assuming you have a column on each sheet titled something left 'next steps', then you could add a date column to the sheet called 'donnas tasks'.  Add a date to 'donnas task' only if you have a task to complete by that date.

Then create a Report 'My Tasks', link this Report to all the sheets on which you have a 'donnas task' column and ask the Report to pick all rows where 'donnas task' contains a date. 

Not an elegant solution but might work.

When I was trying to do this, I added a start date, end date and a target date for the tasks I needed to complete.

Then I created a report called an Open task report and one called tasks due in next 7 days.  I did this using report builder at the bottom of each sheet.

I added a screenshot of each report set up.  The first one is open tasks.  The second one is tasks due in the next 7 days.

Hopefully it will work for you too!

 

Take care,
