Update Request that uses cell color

Vicki Gilmore

Good Morning,

I am using Smartsheet to track students that are Below Grade Level, On Grade Level and Above Grade Level.  The cell color for Below Grade Level is red, On grade level is light green and Above Grade level is dark green. 

When sending an update request for certain rows to one of my teachers, the colors in the cells are not showing up in her email.  Is there a way for the colors to come through in the email?  They display properly when looking at the Smartsheet, but it would be nice if the update request email would show the colors as well.  I've included an example.

 

Thank you.

Vicki

Hi Vicki,

Update requests are sent in a vertical, form layout (as opposed to the horizontal row layout). Due to this, formatting isn't displayed in the update request itself.

You might consider sending people notifications after they've completed the update request. Details on notifications are available in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/542904-using-notifications
