For some reason the dateline in Gannt view is not showing in my PDF outputs.
The same result in both print and export.
Is there a setting I am missing somewhere to make this visible?
Hm, must have been dreaming the last time I printed a pdf of the gannt view.
It seems that there is no way of including the date line in a pdf if I read posts from before. The last entry I can find about this is from the beginning of 2017 and I suppose there has not been any changes in two years..
This brings up another question, is there anywhere to see what features actually been worked on? Roadmap?
Hi Mattias,
Unfortunately, there isn't a public roadmap anymore.
The only way to be aware of things to come is if Smartsheet tells about it in the community or thru the EAP (Early Adopter Program)
Have a fantastic week!

Ok, thanks. A pity to not see what is going to happen with Smartsheet in the future.
Regarding the missing date line and a possibility to have that visible in a PDF export, is this something that I am missing in the settings?
I'm always happy to help!
Regarding the date line, I think it's not included because when you export or print it will not show the correct (today's) date in the future. It's not dynamic.
Make sense?

I understand your argument, but it would be a nice thing to be able to add the dateline as a timestamp when the pdf was printed as an option.
People are still scared of entering into the dynamic world of sharing...
Yes, that makes sense as well.
I advise my clients to add the date/time stamp to the export or printout so that everyone involved knows when the information was correct.
One workaround could be to export the pdf and add the dateline inside another solution.
Another possibility is to export the sheet and import it to a Gantt solution that can have the dateline /today mark present. Office Timeline / Pincello is a great solution for this.
Would that work?
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
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…
