Links broken

SMThomas

The links in my Project Intake Sheet and Project Metadata have broken. Is there a way to revert to a line in the activity log?

Hi @SMThomas,

It’s possible for the sheet Owner or a sheet Admin to request a sheet snapshot from a certain point via the Activity Log - however, this will not restore the cell links, only the data the cell links displayed at that point in time.

If your cell links from the Intake sheet to the Profile Datasheet are missing, you can take the steps within the following help article to set up the profile data again: Smartsheet Control Center: Define and track your project with project profile data. If this restores cell links for a project, you can then complete it manually for other projects too.

Other cell links would have to be manually added back to the sheet. 

I found a similar idea post here: Version Control/Backups That Maintain Cell Links. Please add your vote to this idea if it matches your request. You’ll then receive updates when the status of the idea changes! 

If the request provided doesn’t quite match your suggestion, please create a new Idea Post in the Smartsheet Product Feedback and Ideas topic. This will allow other users to vote on your enhancement idea!

Thanks,

Georgie

I'm very disappointed and aggravated that the only option is to manually enter all the links in the projects (which I am currently doing - wasting a lot of time that is unacceptable). I have over 250 projects and that number grows every day. I'm also looking for another scheduling program as the suggestion just leaves me with an option that pretty much leaves me with an Excel spreadsheet (which is a FREE software). Also, in researching my issue, I've been on several message boards, and I now realize that even backups do not save the integrity of the cell links. Very disappointed customer - we were within days of signing a contract to go with Smartsheet Control Center, but this has definitely deterred us from that.
