Avoid Overbooking a Training Facility

Hi,

When creating a project grid for training events, I add a column named "Venue". In this column I provide the name of training facility where the training needs to be conducted.

Hence, I need a way to be alerted when using the same venue more than one time on a specific day. Because, obviously, i cannot run two trainings at the same time in the same venue.

Any ideas?

Hi Amer,

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)

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi Amer

This is an easy one to resolve, Just allocate each of your training rooms a "fake email address" as two of your unlicensed users list, so they become Resources (physical ones) and so they become trackable and when over booked a little red person pops up.

One other useful idea is when letting your delegates register for events at different venues, you probably need to stop when full. That is pretty easy too.

Organising Training is a very popular use for Smartsheet and we can show you a number of such ideas as part of a free initial consultation if that helps?

Sorry to contradict Andree but I would definitely not share your sheets with anyone until you have an agreement in place for confidentiality. As per advice from the Community manager recently!

Richard,

Great idea to use the Allocation feature.

Regarding sharing, Obviously, if it's confidential or sensitive information it shouldn't be shared if there isn't an agreement in place or the data isn't deleted or replaced before sharing.

Kind regards,

Andrée

Folder Level Sharing
Circling back to this….. Another year goes by and still no folder level sharing. Smartsheet developers don't listen to their clients. I have seen hundreds or posts and requests for this over the past 7-8 years. And still NOTHING!! This has been a huge issue for us as a company. As you can tell this is a sore spot for us…
Restore multiple cell changes from Snapshot
Today a team member accidentally changed several rows by either deleting the data or the row itself. Do I download a snapshot of each one to restore? Some of them didn't seem to be too helpful.

Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF. I have tried making the PDF again from scratch, I have tried copying and pasting the fields so I know they're the exact same…
