*NEW: Proofing using Reports

amontemayor

The new Proofing capability is something we would like to implement in our department, but we are having issues with accessing this in Reports. We see that Proofing can be done in the main smart sheet, but our Artists access new design requests via Reports so that they only see what tasks and designs are assigned to them. Is there a way for them to submit a Proof in their report without having to go into the main smartsheet and search for the design job to do this?

 

I see that in Reports Proofing is an option in the dropdown menu along with Attachments and Comments, but when I click it it doesn't do anything and it appears to be in gray instead of black like Attachments and Comments. Thank you!

Hello Everyone,

I do not have a time estimate on Proofing being enabled in Row Reports, but it is definitely on our roadmap and something we are working towards. Thank you for all the feedback!

I believe you may be referencing something covered by an NDA. You may want to delete this and reach out to Smartsheet directly with your questions.

It was released publicly today at Engage. It's free to discuss.

Hi,

Are you participating in the EAP?

@Paul, I don't think it's under NDA.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Ah. Ok. I ended up missing the Live stream and haven't had a chance to watch it yet. The EAP Dashboard still has it listed as "currently in" as opposed to "previously in".

 

Sorry about that.

Mike Wilday

It was noted as a being a business level license or higher solution but it is available for a limited time to everyone. 

Andrée Starå

Ok. No worries! It can still be in EAP because of further development maybe. 

Paul Newcome

Good to know. I wonder how much if any of this is going to fall into being inaccessible to non-licensed users shared to the sheet. If free collaborators can at least receive and respond in some way (even if they can't initiate), that would be great for me.

Paul Newcome

That makes sense. I just assumed that everything in EAP is covered by the NDA. I'd rather be safe than sorry. Haha.

Andrée Starå

Haha! Yes, I agree!

Hello,

I'm the product manager for proofing, and we will soon be adding the ability to access and manage proofs from row reports. We will keep you updated here as we launch support for this!

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks, Brian,

That's great news!

Best,

Andrée

Hi Paul,

Anyone with a valid email address, even if they are not a part of your Smartsheet organization, is able to receive a review request, comment with annotations, and approve/reject a piece of content!

Brian,

 

"Anyone with a valid email address, even if they are not a part of your Smartsheet organization......."

 

Does this include people that do not have a Smartsheet license? I understand they don't have to be part of my SS organization, but a lot of the people I work with that could benefit from this feature don't have licenses.

 

Don't get me wrong... There are still plenty of other things we can do with SS for collaboration with free users. I am just wondering about this one specifically.

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hei Brian,

that is really good news! We are looking forward to that feature which will really help us.

Can you say a timeline when it will be launched?

We are waiting in the starting gates :-)

Kind regards,

Ina
