Hi Haitehm,

Make sure that you've set up notification rules (on all of your sheets) that include you in them. More info on creating notification rules can be found in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/542904-using-notifications

Hi Haitehm,

Can you send me a screenshot of the specific notification rule that you've created on one of your sheets?

Thanks for providing that screenshot.

It looks like everything's correct from what you've set up, so that leads me to believe that either no one is changing the Status column (meaning no notification) or something systematically isn't working.

On that sheet, I'd recommend a few things:

Check with the other shared users on the sheet and see if they're receiving any notifications from it.
If you're on a business or enterprise plan, you can click the activity log button at the bottom of your sheet. Use the activity log to figure out if any changes to the Status column have been made. If they haven't, it's working as normal.

Otherwise—to troubleshoot this further, please reach out to our Support team.

I deleted every rule/user I've created on every account and recreate them again, and everything working now. this is odd!

Thank you for your help. I appreciate it.

Have a great day

If I am not shared the file with them, will they stay as a Smartsheet user with viewer settings but are able to view the file? Thank you!

Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…
