Portfolio Reporting

I am new to Smartsheet and my goal is to have a dashboard for our PMO with links to the various projects. Each project may be led by different people in the company. Do you have suggestions on how to set up the Dashboard for automatic roll up of information? I have found some helpful articles here, but I would love to know if anyone is using it for a PMO and if there are best practices.

Thank you,

Randi

I am using Dashbaords for both individual projects and for the PMO overview of all projects.

I don't know about best practice..., but I found it easier to setup a one summary sheet that I pulled in (linked) all the various elements from the different project sheets. This summary sheet had all the elements I wanted to report on, including the Start, Finish, and % Complete, so I got a summary Gantt as well.

Then created a report that pulled in all these rows from the summary sheet, then using the Report Widgit, then displayed this report on my PMO Dashboard.

I then used the link widget to create links to the hyperlinks for the published individual project dashboards.

Hope this helps

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.

Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
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…
