Want to track resource allocation

Has anyone had any luck with this? Want to do something similar to the features in Microsoft Project.

I have a lot of design projects going on and want to be able to allocate resources (my designers) to projects and be alerted to when a resource is exhausted.

Has anyone been able to figure this out? I would really appreciate some help!

It looks like to allocate resources those resources must have their own user account? Is that correct?

It has to be a user with a name and e-mail defined.

Either to have an account (as a non-licensed user works) or to be defined in your own account SmartSheet contacts (see below).

So, you can allocate users (even if they are not in the contact list), but, i think that you are partially correct, because on the resource views i cannot select them, it seems that only users that are defined in the system appears in the views.

Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful.

I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
