I want to use an image for a Dashboard banner however, I cannot find any size dimensions for it and some experimentation is not working. I note this shows on Smartsheet's own examples yet I can't reproduce it. See attached screen shot.
On your dashboard, if you click Add Widget and then Image, you can add an image to your dashboard. I've seen no way to overlay text onto an image. I'd like to be wrong about this.
You would have to use another program to overlay the text on the image, then save it as an image (after adding text). Then you can use an image widget to place it on your dashboard with the text overlaid.
TeeM,
Are you referring to the same issuing I asked about here?

Donnie and Paul,
I have no issue in overlaying text on to an image as I can easily do that in Photoshop or similar. What I can't seem to do is fill the widget area with an image.
J. Craig Williams,
Yes. This is the same issue but I don't see any solution to the problem.
There isn't one except trial and error. The grid addition helps a bit, but not much.
If you know PhotoShop or Gimp, you can determine the size you need the image to be and get something that works. I let people with different skills than I have do that, but I'm pretty sure that is what is required.
Ah. Ok. I haven't been successful at filling the widget area either. The only way I have found to make it look that way is to change the dashboard color to white (which I hate). You'll still see a little bit of the widget border, but... I'm thinking maybe smartsheet could work on this a little bit.
Try creating an image that is at least 8000 x 2000, then stretch the widget the full width of the sheet once you've uploaded it to your sheet.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
