'Find & Replace' functionality in SmartSheet?

Is there a way to use a 'find and replace' functionality across the entire estate of worksheets through utilising Dynamic View coupled with Reports?

Hi Tracy,

Interesting use case, how would you like to use it?

I don't know if it's possible with Dynamic View, but it's possible with Control Center.

Would that be an option?

Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree

Thanks for your reply - much appreciated!

Here is what I am trying to achieve:

We have 20 Workspaces, each Workspace has a Sheets folder which contains a template Project Plan in it. I would like to change a column heading from Go/No Go to Stage Gate 3 in each of the Project Plans. Instead of going into each of the 20 plans in the 20 Workspaces individually, is there a way that I can search for the Go/No Go column across all sheets in all workspaces and then update the column once so that the change updates across all 20 plans.

I am reading the link to the Control Centre to see if it will help.

Thanks

Tracy

Happy to help!

Another option could be the Smartsheet API.

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…
