Is it possible to save custom views for columns?
I would like to be able to show, hide, sort, and order columns via a template. I am able to filter based on specific conditions but I also need to be able to view the data a specific way.

You can use filters in the sheets to show specific rows or use different reports to sort rows and to hide or change the order of columns. It sounds to me as multiple reports that are sorted and arranged in the specific views that you want and need would be the best solution.

Happy to help!

Otherwise, I dont see an easy solution.
Hope that helps

The SSFeatures browser extension allows you to save and load column "Views" for column visibility, as well as saving sort "settings" for sorting.

After you click "Hide / Unhide Columns", you'll see a popup that looks like this:
Use "Save" and "Load" to create column views.

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.
