Enhancement Request - Hidden Columns Manager
Running out of screen real estate is a problem. Β I find myself hiding or dragging columns to right and then having to unhide them or drag them back into the active area of the screen as needed.
Β
Request for a utility that would store preferences for hidden columns that has the same general controls as the <filters> widget. Β
Β
The user multi-selects columns to be hidden in the existing postions they occupy on the screen. The widget groups this selection and the user supplies a name, the named macro is stored in a dropdown list. Β Upon running that macro, the sheet would reorganize with the hidden columns popping up in the original stored locations. Β Clearing the selection re-hides the columns in question.
Β
If the request to reshuffle the screen layout back and forth is impossible to program, a macro that simply unhides / rehides a predetermined set of columns would still be hugely appreciated.
Β
The application of this process would be helpful when working on a certain set of columns and wishing to ignore others, such as when mass inputting a bunch of client name and address data and not needing to see all the other columns related to the lead taxonomy.

The ability to manage rows using expandable row hierarchies is unique to Smartsheet and one of the main reasons I use it. But there is zero functionality similarly targeted at managing columns, not even, as mentioned above, a programmatic way to hide/show columns in batch. Some sort of savable column filter would eliminate a TON of manual work in my workflows.

Hi Allβwe currently don't have a way to create a saved column filter on a sheet, but I'll get your vote down for this on our enhancement request list for further review by our Product team.
