I am building a project that has external dependency to be delivered on a specific date . How do you create this dependency? Do you create a task with no duration? (start and finish date are same)?
For me, it depends on where the external dependency is stored / maintained.
If it is located in another Smartsheet sheet, you can link a date to the [Start] date of the project but not the [Finish] date. At that point, either the task is 0 duration (if tied to a [Finish] date or something else if tied to just a date or the [Start] date.
If the external dependency is stored external, I'd probably have a short task to check on its status or react to a trigger, but that is likely best modeled as 0 duration task - the milestone is the external dependency.

I have a Smartsheet automation setup to reminder the planning to complete their sections. It is setup to remind weekly until completed box is checked. They received 2 reminders and then the reminders stopped. Any idea what could be wrong? I can't tell that anything has changed in the sheet. Thanks Freda
I'm editing formulas in a Sheet Summary. However, I'm prevented from seeing the formula by an annoying "helpful" popup that obscures my view. I can't figure out how to get rid of the popup. Does anyone know?
I am trying to create a workflow and for some reason it gives me an error with the email I entered as the recipient for my Alert. It is an email that I know works, it is shared to the sheet, and the access to the sheet is unrestricted. I am perplexed at what the issue is. Anyone else get this and know what the issue is?
