Project Management and Stakeholder Logs

We're using smartsheet to track a land acquisition project for a utility. Each row will contain a contact, parcel features, a dates of progress. We need a way to manage daily communication and updates. We have considered using comments and a remarks column. Is there a better solution?

Thanks!

Hi Jenn,

It depends. Here are a few different methods.

Using comments and @mention to discuss
Using update request and specific columns or comments
Another sheet where a daily log is collected thru a form or update request

Would any of those methods help/work?

Have a fantastic week!

Is there a sub datasheet similar to access an option? I'm thinking we have contacts in rows, each new contact day would have a new row. Is there a way to automate that?

Thanks!

Happy to help!

To create new rows, I would recommend either having a Daily Update Request or Reminder with a link to a form that would add a new row for each submission.

Would that work/help?

To add.

This would be collected in the same sheet or other sheets. If it's the same sheet, you could then move the rows to the correct section if that helps.

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. 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
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
