View, hmmm good question. I am a developer, so I am not a USER the way most people are. I use some sheets, but primarily I build sheets, templates, reports, etc. While building all of my projects I review each view. I make sure that each of these views can meet and exceed the expectations of the team I am building for. So as I said I consider all views since I am the developer, and must ensure that everyone's favorite view

So while I have my favorites, Grid as a developer to be able to see and analyze all the data.

I need to look at things from the perspective of my Directors. How will they use what I am building for them. Most of the Directors love the Calendar view, and who can blame them? And also, the new TimeLine view has taken off as a major favorite too. They need to see and report on things from a high level.

PMs love the the Card View (like a Kanban board) and the Gantt View.

@Sherry Fox That’s the best view: The ability to build with the end user(s) mindset and insight.

@Dakota Haeffner I know, right?!? I need them all even before I know I need them! 😂

@Yvonne Smythe ,

I just created my new profile (at the suggestion of @Genevieve P. ).

My work profile is @SherryFox and

My personal profile is @Sherry Fox

The difference (look closely) is the space between my names! It took me a while to figure out why this showed on personal email rather than my work email.

Got it, thanks for sharing this update. Which do you prefer I use?

While exploring some new options I've figured out that the Board view in my case works best for quick and smaller projects. It is also useful as a quick overview of task statuses from a different perspective and it sure helps the others see the project using it as another-their own option of choice. Playing with settings and filters is just an extra here.

I like this one, too.

@Yvonne Smythe ,

I prefer @SherryFox , as that is my work profile. It assures that I see all the posts. I don't look at Smartsheet psts that my personal account is tagged in frequently

I keep using the grid view for now. It's simply the fastest and the one that will contain the most information at one glance that you can have so it works best for most of our sheets. But I would love for the filters to be improved on the new timeline view, there is huge potential for some use cases. I already use it in a shared sheet for PTO and public holidays.

I mostly use grid view. I collect a lot of data from forms and this is the best way for me to view it.
