User Management and Contact List type

Good morning,


If I am understanding this correctly, the User Management is what the Contact List type draws from to populate names.

 

Is there a way to create different groups within the User Management area? For instance, I'd like to have two separate lists so that I can have two different Contact List types in my sheet. One for each dept.

 

Also, I'm not quite sure what the Group Management use is.

 

Blessings,

Loann

  • Contact list columns pull from User Management, My Smartsheet Contacts, and whoever is assigned to tasks already in your sheet. There isn't going to be a way to limit where the names are pulled from based on which contact list column you are in - they will always pull from the same places.

     

    Here is the opening paragraph from the help center article on groups:

     

    "Group Management enables Group Admins to organize their contacts into groups for purposes of quickly sharing and sending information to multiple people. While only users designated as Group Admins under a multi-user (Team or Enterprise) plan can create and manage groups, everyone on the multi-user plan will be able to share and send information to them."
