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.

Please see my screenshot.
Thanks.

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 currently have a report that is filtered to show tasks assigned to the “Current User”. The Current User may have teams members who help them – say User A has three assistants. I would like the Report to allow the assistants to also see the tasks assigned to User A. There are multiple Users who have assistants…

I am loving the new portfolio feature that was recently released! The ability to easily create reports across workspaces is something we've been waiting for. But I have a question about what will happen when we close a project and no longer want the data to show up in a report. With the portfolio feature, the workspace is…
