What is the easiest way to view all of the outstanding update requests, across all sheets, that I ha

Tim Williamson

I am using Smartsheet for a lot of different applications within our organization.  I have a number of outstanding update requests - across a dozen sheets - but have no easy way of seeing the status of them all at once.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Bobby Miller

A bulky approach would be to copy and link-paste all rows from your various sheets ontp a new sheet, and then filter the rows by due date, which will then bring the outstanding items to the top. 

 

This solution would assume that all of your sheets are formatted the same.  Otherwise, additional manual adjustment would be required.

 

Hope that helps!

I would suggest creating a "Report".  Use the report builder to pull in data from mulitple sheets.

 

There is a webinar about reports (about 15minues in) for reference located in the Support section of this forum and linked here: https://youtu.be/-135hDCTmxE 

 

Good Luck.

Thanks Bobby and Terry.  I thought about using a report, but I'm not sure what criteria I would use to determine if there were an pending update request.

The reporting tool will work well to show rows based on a given criteria but it cannot identify pending update requests. You would have to check each sheet for pending update requests.

Is there any talk of making an enhancement to Smartsheet to report on pending update requests?  I would find this very useful as well!

Travis

ClaireEEE - not at this time but I will add your vote for this enhancement request!

I agree that this is a much needed enhancement as I need to quickly determine across over a hundred projects (sheets) which ones have outstanding update requests and there is currently no easy way to do this.

Can you please add my vote to this request? Really need to look at Update requests (especially pending) across all sheets.

Did anything happen with this request its 3 years old. I need help creating a report to indicate which rows have a pending request outstanding. Can you please help me do this? I still have hours left to work with someone and nobody is reaching out, the customer service on this site is subpar.

Was this addressed? Being able to see all outstanding update request will be very useful for our organization. Even if it is on a per sheet basis.

Just wondering if this capability exists or not.

I need this type of ability also.

+1. Also checked Zapier and it doesn't have an integration with smartsheet about update requests.
