Publish Reports as Read only HTML (same as sheets)

Phil Smith

Hi

 

I'm currently sharing some progress tracking sheets by publishing them via "livesheets for Powerpoint" and then running the Powerpoint through a large display screen in a number of our offices. This is allowing us to keep a wider group of staff informed of progress.

 

In an ideal world I would have looked at using SIGHTS but I'm struggling to justify purchasing it until there is a little functionality that I would like (it's on the future roadmap).

 

My question/query is:

Is there a way to publish a report in the sme way that you can publish a sheet? Ideally I want to publish a sheet via READ Only - HTML (Lightweight) and not through the normal READ ONLY - FUILL access. 

 

The main reason is the the READ Only - HTML version (used for sheets only) is more seamless for the scrolling presentation. The page just loads through the embedded web link whereas the reports link take a few seconds to lead and you get the Smartsheet 'loader' screen.

 

Thanks

Phil,

 

Yes you are right and I also would like the same options on eports that you get on Sheets.  I suspect that this is not the case as it would for some negate the need for sights.

 

If you have enterprise version then you could use the ODBC connectot to Excel and use that in your powerpoint presentation.

 

If you do not then we need to wait and hope that it is in the roadmap.
