Can someone explain to me how to share a filter with another person viewing the sheet?
Thanks
When you create the Filter there's a Check Box called "Share Filter" which makes it available to other folks who are shared to the sheet. Complete instructions and a video are here, https://www.smartsheet.com/blog/new-release-save-multiple-filters-enhanced-search-publish-sights
And if you've already saved the filter, but forgot to share it, you can choose the filter in your dropdown > select the arrow to the right of the filter name > Choose edit filter and you can make it a shared filter there too.
Is this not possible anymore ?
I cannot see the "Share filter" check box either when creating a new filter or editing a new one.
Best,
Please see my screenshot.
Thanks.
Hi Thomas,
Can you share a screenshot of what you see?

Are you the owner of the sheet?

Which Smartsheet plan do you have?
Found this: Only Business, Enterprise, and Premier accounts can share a filter to other collaborators.
Hope that helps!
Request to add this feature to PRO version as it is really needed regardless of team size!
Do you need to be the owner of the sheet in order to share a filter? We have Business, but even as an admin on the sheet we don't see the share checkbox.
Hi @Julius W
Owners and Admins can share filters as long as the sheet is owned by someone on a Business or Enterprise plan. Are you able to share a screen capture of what you're seeing?
Collaborators have to be licensed to access the settings or share filters, which is unfortunate. I had created some filters to allow users to sort tasks by assignee, and was expecting them to be able to edit the assignee. For our licensing arrangement to work, I have to make a master shared filter for each possible assignee role, which makes for a very long list.
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…
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I already have a Smartsheet license with my company, but I was recently invited to collaborate on a sheet owned by another group within the same organization. When I accepted, I was told I need to upgrade in order to edit or contribute. Can you please explain why this is required? It seems unreasonable to need multiple…
