Hidden Column Data Viewable in Export

Hello,

I have a table where I hid Column C that has confidential information. Viewers and Editors cannot Unhide the columns of Confidential Information. This is amazing.

However, here's the kicker... If the viewer/editor Exports the smartsheet they can unhide the hidden columns.

How can I stop that to keep these smartsheets HIPAA compliant with restricted views to some users?

Hi,

Unfortunately, there isn't a way, as far as I know, to do it natively but you could maybe use the new Dynamic View addon.

Would that work?

Have a fantastic week!

Consider sending scheduled update requests to the editors instead of sharing. You can configure the columns to be seen and there will be no export option.

Greetings

Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
