I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
