Automate approval by row

I have a sheet which requires updates and approvals by multiple individuals. I want to create an Automated Workflow that assigns approval by row, whenever there is any change to that row. All rows, obviously, have the same columns. In other words, I want to create an approval workflow for each row so that the person who receives the approval request is only approving the row they are responsible for. Is this possible?

Hi Jeff,

Yes, it is!

When you set up the Automated Workflow, you can select, Send to contacts in a cell, and then it will send to the contact that is on each row.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
