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?
Have a fantastic day!

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.
I have a Contact List column in my Smartsheet, but when I export the sheet to Excel, it only displays the full names of the contacts. For my SharePoint migration process, I need to retrieve and export only the email addresses from this column to ensure seamless item creation in the SharePoint list. I'm looking for the best…
Is there a way I can be proactive about error messages that apprear on my various sheets, reports and dashboards? Like provide me some type of report, so I can go to those pages and get things fixed? I would not even know how to set anything up, as there are multiple sheets, reports, dashboards I manage.
Hello, I am in the process of adding several users to our Enterprise account. The first 2 went fine. I cannot add the third individual. I get an error that says "Business Rule Violation", I have tried multiple times. I cannot see that this person is already a user. Any answers? Thanks
