Please add a successor column or function

A way to show successors is needed. It's important for critical path scheduling that every task has a predecessor and a successor. After a couple hundred lines it becomes nearly impossible to eyeball everything to make sure that's true. A successor column allows one to simply filter to find the missing successors.

Thanks.

Hi John,

Excellent idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic weekend!

I work for a large University in the IT PMO and we are looking for a cloudbased waterfall PM tool to replace MS Project. I really like Smartsheets but the one thing that concerns me is how long I have see comments about adding basic capability like Successor and Baseline functions and do not see any responses back from SmartSheet that they are looking to add the functions. I think I have read back 4 years where folks have asked to get the Successor feature added with no response from SmartSheet.

Should I be concern with the support that SmartSheet provides in enhancing their tool. We are also looking at MS Project Online but it looks like it needs a large amount administration to support it.

This is really needed. I submitted a request probably two years ago and still nothing. I don't want to MS project for this.

Yes you should be concerned, a lot of basic functions have not been completed for years. I've already invested time into Smartsheet and now I'm think I may have to go back to MS Project because of these issues.

Hi everyone, I’m running into an issue with one of my sheets and was hoping to see if anyone else has experienced this. Here’s the setup: I have a sheet where, when I check a box, the row moves to a “Completed” sheet. In my Total column, I use a formula that sums a group of cells tied together via a parent/child…
Unable to edit smartsheet forms without constant reboot
Is anyone having trouble with smarthsheet over the past several days? Every time I go into a form to edit it, the cursor jumps fields after each character is typed. It is so frustrating. In some cases the cursor gets frozen in a field and jumps back and forth between two fields and freezes the whole system. I have yet to…
