Good afternoon,
New to smartsheet,
When I set up my sheets shoudl I be setting up the "metrics" that I want to capture on the top of the sheet to easily transfer to a dashboard/widget?
Hi,
There are many ways to set it up and which one would work best for depends on your preference and specific use case.
A common method is as you mention placing the metrics in the top section of the sheet. Another way could be to collect everything on another specific metric sheet.
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Let me know if you have questions!
Have a fantastic day!

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…
