Dramatic loss in picture quality when posting to dashboard
I am having a dramatic loss in picture quality when posting to the dashboard. Is anyone getting this as well? I even added an outline to the words and you can hardly tell in the dashboard.

It looks like your image is really small. 358px x 154px. I recommend enlarging it (notice it's pixelated on this discussion as well).
I've attached a sample that's larger.

I simply took a snip of both for this post. The original is much larger.

I am having the same problem.

I played around with this a bit more and found that when an image is uploaded that is larger than the intended size, SmartSheet doesn't do a good job of compressing the image into a manageable size. It was working fine on my laptop, but now on my desktop monitor, I experience the same issue of the image becoming grainy at smaller sizes.
I did try different image sizes, from 200px width through 1100px width, and none of them resulted in decent quality once reduced to a "button" size. And, of course, there's not any other good way of linking with text that looks nice.

As a workaround to this, you can use the Metric Widget to link to a cell that contains the text you want, and then make the interaction a hyperlink to the form you want to use. You can adjust the text font and color, and size up to 36.
Side-by-side comparison below (ignore the fact that it's different text).

That means I have to have a dedicated sheet just for that purpose. I do not like the idea of doing it that way. Also I can't use the fonts i want because they aren't supported by smartsheet.

I appreciate the help though

This workaround is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
I'm making a navigation center like the one featured at Engage 18, "Best in Class Project Management" presentation.
