I was wondering if there is a feature for Archiving? And if so can we archive and them bring them back to the workspace at any time?
Thank you!
Hi,
I'm assuming you're referring to projects provisioned via Smartsheet Control Center? If so, no there is no easy way. Smartsheet are working on an archiving solution, but it doesn't help you in the meanwhile.
I've Created an Archive workspace and have been dragging folders in there. But it breaks the Control Center view of the portfolio and is messy.
It's just another reason why SCC should not have been released in it's current guise as it's a half-baked product. The pricing has been increased too, so our renewal will cost us an extra 33% for no perceivable value. The product is mostly the same as it was when we signed up and still has the same shortfalls.
Thanks Chris for your response and sharing your way for archiving projects. And yes that does sound messy. We are trying to stay away from messy ourselves.
Do you by chance know anything about how their "Back-up" system works? It is true Smartsheet has a back up for the "sheets, but not for the Dashboards?"
I curious where those files go when backed up.
Hi Tkaraly123,
The backup function just exports the selected sheets to Excel format, and you get an email link to a zip folder that you can download. I believe the link expires after 7 days, so you need to download the zip folder and store the contents somewhere. You can re-import the files into Smartsheet at a later date if you need to, but things like comments and dependencies will be missing.

Hi everyone, In our project plans, sheet admins are responsible for setting the baseline once the project schedule is finalized. However, this step is occasionally missed, which impacts our schedule variance and reporting. I'm looking for best practices to remind admins to set the baseline via automation Also, is it…
I have a form that others in our organization use to submit projects to my department. How it should work: 1) the form when complete populates a row in the Spreadsheet. 2) automation maps certain fields in the form to a PDF. 3) The new row triggers an email to our department with the PDF attached. This used to work…
