I'm using resource allocation to calculate schedule duration but the schedule isn't updating to reflect the allocation.
Why didn't resource allocation (other than 100%) change task duration?
Hi Ami,
At this time, the duration of a task doesn't change based on the values in the Allocation % column, but this would be a great opportunity to submit a Product Enhancement Request to let our Product team know that you'd also like to have this functionality in Smartsheet.

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…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
