Is there any way to set the status for a sheet so that it displays as a custom column in a folder? For instance, a status of "closed" so the admin knows the sheet can be exported and deleted?
Hi David,
There currently isn't a way to display the status of an entire sheet on the Home tab (where you see all of your folders and items).
You might consider including a row in all of your sheets that holds a sheet status. You can set that row's status to "closed" and then run a report to look for all "closed" rows. As long as your report includes the Sheet Name column, you'll be able to quickly find what sheets you'll need to export and delete.

We created "Closed Projects" folders in different workspaces. When a project is completed we add "CLOSED" to the end of the sheet name and move the sheet into that folder. When we run our report builder we exclude any sheet that has "CLOSED" in the title. Hope that idea helps.
Best,
Archie
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
