Card View by Contact List column type

Waseem K

Hi there, 

I have a sheet for tracking contracts and assign the contracts to my staff of 10. I would like to be able to have my swim lanes be organized/sorted by the "Contact List" column type (I have my assigned staff in this column). 

based on this help article, https://help.smartsheet.com/learning-track/get-started/card-view 

and the video (0:30 - 0:40) our sheet must have a drop down list, contact list, or symbol type column to utilize the card view. 

It seems that even my sheet contain contact list and  drop down type columns, but I can sort/organize by the contact list column. 

Is feature got canceled with after the new features got released or am doing something wrong here? 

I would appreciate any help from anyone?

Thanks, 

Waseem

Hi Waseem,

Are you Allowing multiple contacts per cell for the contact column(s)? Card View doesn't work for contact columns where it's enabled.

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Contact List columns that allow for multiple contacts can't be viewed as lanes in Card View. (More information on working with multiple contacts in one Contact List field can be found in Assign People to a Task.)
