Ruler - alignment tool

We are only 6 months into our Smartsheet journey and thus often tinkering and creating new reports, it would be really handy to have a ruler at the top in order to align fields/columns in reports. I have marked where a ruler could sit with highlighter yellow below. Does anyone else recognise the need or have an alternative solution?

Thanks.

Hi Tim,

I can't see any attachment? What kind of fields is that you want to align?

Hi Andrée,

Hopefully it's there now, it's when i'm creating a report for use on a Sight, trying to align columns in the limited space and sometimes I have to retro fit changes to a number of existing reports.

thanks

Tim.

Now it's there.

One possible workaround is to take a screenshot and attach it on top maybe?

Best,

I think that's a good idea for an enhancement request. But it must be something that the users can turn on/off. Don't want it taking up space all the time when you really just need it during the sheet/report creation.

This could especially be of help with the dashboards/sights. I don't use them, but measuring your layout easily with rulers seems a good idea.

Can we run the request for update to include all the rows that applied to one condition?
We want to know if it is possible to send request for update in one email, but with multiple rows at the same time.
