Hi Travis, can you please share when this item will be in the WIP? Current road map of new items has not got this item listed? 

Thanks
Chris

Chris, unfortunately, I do not have a timeframe for when this might be developed. The best place to check in on what we are developing is our product roadmap. https://www.smartsheet.com/product-roadmap

Thanks Justin, but the product roadmap has had the same items in WIP for the past couple of months.

 

Is it possible to see the backlog? As customers we have no idea what ideas have been selected as candidates and therefore it is hard to make product decisions with out the full picture of your roadmap.

+1 for WBS functionality in SmartSheet, including the ability to easily import an XML file from software like Xmind, WBS tools, etc. Thanks.

Hi Stuart, I've added your vote for this feature, as well as passed on your feedback on importing files from other programs. Thanks for the input!

Dear all / dear smartsheet team,

I don't understand why it is so hard to make this WBS available in smartsheet. If I export a smartsheet into MS Project XML the WBS number can be found as "WBS" and also as "OutlineNumber". So, obviously the information is readily available within the smartsheet code. So, what is the challenge here ????

 

Best regards.

Hi Nils--To confirm, Project automatically generates WBS and "Outline Number" values based on the hierarchy of the rows in your file when it is imported into Project (see here). That being said, I can understand why you would want this functionality as a native feature in the Smartsheet application and I've added your vote for it to the list. Thanks for your input!

I have recently been asked by a client if WBS will be added as a feature of Smartsheet. It would be a really useful feature

Any news on the WBS implementation ?

 

Chris Phair

Hi All, 

 

With the August 2016 update from Smartsheet I was able to set up a structure using the new  count (ancestors(<cell>) formula. This will give my project the levels I required. Not exactly a full WBS but definitely a step in the right direction. 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Add my Vote to a WBS view.  Seems like the indents of the sheet would correspond to the hierarchy view.  It would be amazing to see this type of view down to the work packages.
