Adding Contacts - Logging in for the first time

Cameron.Iwaasa64966

I'm trying to understand how and when a new contact will receive an invitation to log in and set his or her password. Does this occur when a new contact is added? When a contact is added to a group? To a specific record on a Smartsheet? Any pointers would be helpful.

Hello Cameron,

Thank you for this question! I will be happy to advise on when someone will receive an email notice from Smartsheet regarding an invitation or prompt to set a password for their account.

When someone signs up for Smartsheet, is added to an existing account, or they are shared to a sheet when they don't have an existing Smartsheet account associated to the email address used, it will prompt them to access their new account and set a password. If they are shared to a sheet, the sharing invitation email will display the following, "Click the button to accept your invitation and set your password."

Please note:

From the Sharing menu, you can uncheck the Notify people checkbox and this will disable the sharing invitation email from being sent. This will also disable the sharing invitation email that states, "Click the button to accept your invitation and set your password" for any new users.
If the new user is shared a sheet after that point and the Notify people checkbox is checked, the next email will contain, "Click the button to accept your invitation and set your password".

Additionally adding an email to a Smartsheet Group, won't notify them that they've been added. If you then share that Group to a Smartsheet item, the email addresses that have been added will then receive an email notifying them of the shared item.

Automation
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?
New Dashboards
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…
why does it not show the bars in timeline view like most gantt charts do?
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.
