Hi Smartsheet community,
I’m submitting this idea after running into a real challenge on my team that I think others may be facing too.
We use Smartsheet dashboards heavily to share trends and performance data, and recently one of our team members shared that they were having trouble distinguishing between lines on our charts due to color vision differences.
It made me realize how much our charts rely on color alone to tell the story.
Right now, there’s no way to change line styles (like dashed or dotted), which would make a huge difference for accessibility. Even something simple like making one line dashed and another solid would immediately make charts easier to read, not just for color-blind users, but also when presenting, printing, or viewing on different screens.
What I’d love to see:
The ability to customize line styles in charts (solid, dashed, dotted, etc.) in addition to color.
This feels like a small change that could have a big impact in making dashboards more inclusive and easier for everyone to interpret.
If you’ve ever had trouble telling lines apart, or want to make your dashboards more accessible, I’d really appreciate your support on this idea.
Thanks for considering!
