how to take the new Filter/Share line off?

Ivan L

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know how to take this annoying new "Filter/Share" line down? To permanently hide it.

Just a waste of space for us ;(

Thanks,

Ivan, as far as I can tell that filter bar only shows up when you have a filter actively in use on a sheet. I don't see a way to remove it without deleting the filter. At least, it always goes away for me when I don't have any active filters on the sheet whether they are named or not.

Update: after trying several filters that filter/share bar across the top now seems to be stuck there. I don't see a way to remove it either...

Hopefully this is a mistake. Please remove.

You see, Tripp, it is not a mistake. Let's remove that filter/share bar somehow instead

Smartsheet helpdesk, please take a look into this.

Hi Ivan,

The 'Filter/Share' bar at the top of the sheet was set as a permanent row within our recent update, it cannot be removed. For more information on our recent Smartsheet updates please reference the release notes here: https://www.smartsheet.com/release-notes

If by "Filter/Share line" you're referring to the cell outlined in your screenshot, the cell that has been right-clicked isn't a filter but the parent row for what appears to be rows within a hierarchy. This Help Center article outlines how to utilize hierarchies within Smartsheet. https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/504734-hierarchy-indenting-outdenting-rows

Please let us know if you have any questions on the above.

Cheers,

Eric

Hello Eric,

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I meant that permanent "No filter.... Share" line we see on top of our sheets and never use. Just wondering, why to waste the precious space?

I think I am not alone here, other users may appreciate having important information from their sheets instead of the line they never use right on top of the sheet.

And no way to disable this, really?

Thank you for understanding.

Hi Ivan,

Yes, that is correct. Currently we don’t have a method to remove/hide the filter section but this will be considered as a possibility for future development.

Cheers,

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
