OneNote and Smartsheet

Hi Community!

We currently utilize a table in OneNote to record action items during our meetings. For one particular project, we have 5-8 different meetings a week, so we'd like to be able to record all of the action items from all of the meetings in Smartsheet, so we can run a report from Smartsheet for each individuals complete task list. Copying and pasting from OneNote into Smartsheet is a little clunky. Does anyone know if there is a way to easily get table info into Smartsheet from OneNote?

Thanks!

Is it any less clunky for you if you copy the onenote table, paste into excel, then import into smartsheet?

OneNote is a rich text format - it does not have a direct export to Excel, does it?

Copy / paste may be the easiest solution.

You can convert a onenote table to excel. Select the table and click convert to excel. The excel sheet replaces the table as an inline object.

As to taking notes in an inline excel document, you'd have to test it. I don't think it works well because the sharing feature doesn't work well embedded and the data is displayed as an image (it updates when you make changes) that you can't edit like a onenote table.

I think (but do not have access to test) that things would be more streamlined in a MS Teams environment. Within Teams you would have individual tabs for smartsheet, excel and onenote objects with inline team communications.

I am also looking for a workflow that allows us to use OneNote for agenda and Meeting minutes and Smartsheet for the action items.

I have a monthly report I send out that has a long list of recipients. I know I can edit the recurrence of it being sent, but does anyone know of an easy way to just add or take out people that get my email without having to recreate the whole thing?

We would like to allow conference attendees to check themselves in using tablets at the conference center. I know there is a "find in sheet" magnifying glass in table view, but it is not super obvious, especially for non-Smartsheet users. Is there a better way for them to easily find their row among all the attendees so…
