Name instead email on System/Created By column

Hi,

Any suggestion how I can have the name instead email when I have a System column and choose "create by" option from my contact list?

Thanks.

Hi Al,

There currently isn't a way to customize the display of the System (Created by) column.

When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right to let our Product team know that you'd like to have this feature added.

As a potential workaround, you can create an additional Text/Number column, and place a nested IF statement that will return people's names when their email appears in the system column. For example:

=IF([System Column]1 = "john.smith@gmail.com", "John Smith", IF([System Column]1 = "jane.doe@gmail.com", "Jane Doe"))

More on IF statements can be found in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/function/if

Hi Shaine ...

Would you help me please with an IF formula that does the same as you list above but with 5 contacts?

I'm having a hard time writing a Nested IF statement for more than two options.

Thanks for your help.

Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
Automated email with number of pending records
Hello, I use Smartsheet in such way that people are asked to provide data on many records and then that data needs to be approved by one other person (always the same person). I would like to set up an automation that, each morning, checks to see if there are records waiting to be approved, and if there are, sends an…
