Is there any way to select only specific columns to be included in alert messages that are sent out

Gary M. Gordon

Is there any way to select only specific columns to be included in alert messages that are sent out using the SmartSheet Automation feature?

Currently, I set up an alert. And it displays all of the columns, even if I hide certain columns in the sheet. I'd like to be able to select which columns are sent and included as part of the alert. I didn't see any option for selecting which columns (of information) would be included.  Is this possible?  If so, can you explain how to do this?

I'm using the current version of SmartSheet as of 8/5/2019. I saw previous and similar posts in the community regarding this, going to back to around 2017.  As of now, the interface has changed so the information I saw wasn't applicable.  Can someone explain precisely if this is possible and how to do this?

Thanks,

Gary Gordon

Hi Gary,

Yes, it's possible. I'll attach screenshots soon to show where you find the settings.

Hope that helps!

Did it work?

Hi,

This option doesn't seem to exist any more.

I'm the owner of this report but yet I don't see below the option you're mentioning above

Hi @Pierre-Eric Collette

They moved it because of new features.

Did that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

how should one specify the columns in the customize message? i included them in {{}} but don't know how to include more columns and I still want in tabular format. @Andrée Starå . Thanks

P.N. I have about 90 columns in my original sheet and need to only send 10 and need it in a tabular format. Thanks
