Enhancing Smartsheet workspaces can significantly improve productivity and collaboration. Here are some features and functionalities that could be beneficial:

1. Advanced Automation: More robust automation capabilities, such as conditional workflows and automated reminders, can help streamline repetitive tasks and ensure deadlines are met.
2. Customizable Dashboards: Allowing users to create highly customizable dashboards with widgets that can display real-time data, project statuses, and key metrics would provide better visibility and control over projects.
3. Enhanced Collaboration Tools: Features like real-time co-editing, integrated chat, and video conferencing within workspaces can improve team communication and collaboration.
4. Improved File Management: A more intuitive file management system with version control, tagging, and advanced search capabilities would make it easier to organize and locate documents.
5. Integration with More Apps: Expanding the range of third-party app integrations, such as with CRM systems, marketing tools, and other project management software, can help create a more seamless workflow.
6. Advanced Reporting and Analytics: Enhanced reporting tools that offer deeper insights and analytics, including predictive analytics, can help teams make more informed decisions.
7. Mobile Optimization: Improving the mobile app experience with more features and better usability can help teams stay productive on the go.
8. Security Enhancements: Adding more granular permission settings and advanced security features, such as two-factor authentication and audit logs, can help protect sensitive information.
9. User-Friendly Templates: Providing a wider range of pre-built templates for different industries and project types can help users get started more quickly and efficiently.
10. AI-Powered Suggestions: Implementing AI to provide smart suggestions for task assignments, project timelines, and resource allocation can help optimize project management.

These enhancements could make Smartsheet workspaces even more powerful and user-friendly. What specific features do you think would be most beneficial for your workflow?

Happy 2025!

I think the following would add a lot of value:

Folder level Security.

Random number function

Update request formatting

Looping in automation

More Flexible charts widget.

Auto-populate a drop down list from a selection

Those are just a few off the top of my head.

I would like to be able to hide workspaces I'm not using. I have several workspaces shared with me or that I created that are now outdated but I don't want to delete them in case I need to go back but I would like to archive them or hide them in some way so it's not so confusing and messy.

Happy New Year!

Some features I would love to see that I can think of are: trendline options in the chart widget, a tool that allows for free text (like a notepad) available in workspaces, heatmap options in conditional formatting, the ability to minimize "workplace shared to" for all my small screen team members, and an automation that allows automatic subtasks to be created in sheets.

Couple of things I would love to see.

1. Folder level permissions.
2. Fix dynamic view to include grouping from reports. This is a big pain for our vendors not being able to have tasks grouped. something that has not been addressed since grouping came out over 6 years ago.
3. In calendar view being able to adjust dated with predecessor. Even if it ment you got a warning like when you do in grid view. We run a construction company and it is a pain to have to switch back from calendar view to grid view to adjust a date where the predecessor no longer is applicable.
4. In calendar view to be able to see more than one column of data
5. In dashboard to be able to view a calendar view of a report.
6. In mobile view be able to view a dynamic view from on a dashboard. Most people in construction are using their phones not computers. (vendors, subs, ect)
7. Have contact lists being about to seperate out in to group.. not assign to a group like currently but have them in a group so you don't have several hundred contact all mixed together.
8. Have contact display names in the calander app instead of email address
9. Being able to have drop down list populate from a single sheet the dropdown choices globally change. So if we are not using a vendor any more of if a employee is no longer with us that person is still a choice in the sheet. Currently have to use a third party to make this work.
10. Being able to edit data from reports right from the dashboard instead of having to click into the report itself.
11. Better mobile app option as well. Very clunky. Espically no ability to view a calandar view correctly.

A way to group and collapse groups of workspaces would be helpful, along with alternative ways to sort them so we don't have to do the ridiculous ___**000 prefixing to order them how we wish. Maybe also consider the ability to pin them within the browse view. Anything that helps users with hundreds of workspaces navigate them more easily.
