Hello!
Is there a report and/or a way to show week-to-week changes for all projects across the entire portfolio?
Thank you,
Nikki
Hi @Nikki G ,
There is not really an out-of-the-box function, what I have done in the past is to create a sheet in the Project Toolkit (What I call the folder that houses all the templates) with a row that captures the metrics you want to capture week over week.
I then create a copy row automation (https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/770589-copying-a-row-to-another-sheet) to send this over weekly, creating a record/audit log of sorts. This can then be pulled into a report, where you can then report or chart this data. You will need to add a date column to the metadata sheet to capture the date. I use "Record a Date" to record today's date daily on the sheet. (https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2481986-work-record-date-action)
Hope this helps?

Trying to develop a calendar/dashboard to reflect the major milestones of all projects happening in the PMO and having a difficult time!

Looking for a project plan that I could use to bring Smartsheet into my company. We are going to be needing SSO Control Center Building Templates for Control Center Building out connectors (mainly for Azure DevOps) Creating Reports (for projects but also for users to see open tasks by project assigned to them) anything…
