I have created a very simple alert to alert me when anything changes on a sheet. But, changing data is not triggering the alert. Are alerts down?

This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…

Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
