Hopefully an easy question...I'm just getting started using smartsheet. Can someone tell me how calendar view determines the order of items within the calendar - i.e. what is listed on top of a certain date, what's below that and so on.
Thank you!
Hi Steve,
Welcome!
I think it's sorted by the order of the rows.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

Andree is correct. It is based off of the row order. Sorting and filtering will adjust this as will collapsing parent rows.
Not to complicate the question, but... LOL
How is the order determined when the rows are from different sheets?
I'm trying to get items from one sheet in particular to show as the first item in a calendar report. Essentially, overlay the US/Canada Holiday schedule but have them always appear first.
Thanks for your input!

On further testing I can make the sort feature work much of the time. However, it appears the longer multiday item always appears first, and then the next longest and so on and so forth. I'm surmising this is to deal with the layering of the items on the calendar.
I've used conditional formatting to provide a color indicator, but would still love to see a way to get an event to stick to the top regardless of length. Or, even more generally, a way top prioritize regardless of task length.
If anyone has any suggestions or feedback, I'd love to hear it.
Cheers!
I am completing a project to have vacation calendars submission for our office staff in seniority date order however our test has showed that even though the sorting of the sheet is in seniority order the calendar view doesn't list the staff by seniority date order but by the staff name's alphabetical order. This is making it difficult to resolve conflicts for dates in seniority order.
Smartsheet should be sorting my seniority date order for the calendar view also when the sort is determined by seniority date order. I submitted a ticket number 05349341, please assist to resolve this glitch.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
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.
