Is there a way to add a contact group to the dropdown list in a contact list column?

My reminder in smartsheet automation is set to trigger every day starting 12/05/2025 at 8am (gmt+1) and the condition is to send the reminder to the contact in the contact list if the reminder flag is set to 1 and the status is not one of DONE. Currently on the sheet, a task has the reminder flag set to 1 and the status is…
Hi Everyone, My IT has a lot of confusion on what we access we really need to have for certain people. What is the difference between a "Member" and a "Licensed User?"
