Using smartsheets for a punchlist and have ability to check off

I have created a punch list with a column (checkbox) to mark completed items. I am sharing the sheet with collaborators (non-licensed) by weblink. This will be accessed through the web on a smartphone. These are our field installers and do not want to be required to have them download the smartsheet app. Through accessing it on the phone the column for completed does not show up in list view and cannot be edited on the other view. I would like to be able to keep up with completed items as they are completed in realtime is an efficient way Is there a solution to this?

Hello,

Thank you for this question! I've done some testing on this and it is not possible to make changes to a sheet via a published link on a mobile browser; however, you can add a vote for this to our Enhancement Request list here. This is also located under "Quick Links" on the right-hand side of this page.

There are two workarounds that many customers use in order to achieve this.

If they do not want to download the app, the best way to achieve this would be through an Automated Update Request.

Setting up Update Requests would allow them make these changes from their email inbox. This would not require them to log into Smartsheet. Since they won't be shared to the sheet, you'll want to make sure you change the settings on the sheet and in your account to allow them to receive the Update Requests.

The other alternative, though you mentioned they'd prefer to not use the app, would be to have users download the app and create Free Collaborator accounts. This would allow them to make those changes.

Please let me know if you have further questions on this.

Kind regards,

Alison

Hi,

I don't know if this is a viable option for your use case.

Click on the row in the list view in the mobile browser and click edit in the top right corner and make the changes (tap the checkmark in the punchlist) and click save.

I hope this helps you!

Is it possible to edit an email list in an automated monthly report?
I have a monthly report I send out that has a long list of recipients. I know I can edit the recurrence of it being sent, but does anyone know of an easy way to just add or take out people that get my email without having to recreate the whole thing?

We would like to allow conference attendees to check themselves in using tablets at the conference center. I know there is a "find in sheet" magnifying glass in table view, but it is not super obvious, especially for non-Smartsheet users. Is there a better way for them to easily find their row among all the attendees so…
Update Requests included in separate Notification Automation
Hi! We have a sheet where team members are triggered to complete an Update Request when a line is assigned to them, which of course includes its own messaging. We also have a separate automation which sends out a weekly 'reminder' email for all assigned lines which have not been updated to a 'completed' status. My question…
