Automated Updates

Riyaz Mansoor

When I send and update request to more than 1 person - I understand I can add an Action to lock the row such that subsequent updates fails.

1) Is it possible to capture who updated - into a cell ? Writing a comment shows who updated - so I assume somewhere this information is collected.

2) Would subsequent updates be possible on the UI or would it fail when the form is loaded? Would the user be informed of update failure ?

ps: newbie reviewing smartsheet.

Hi Riyaz,

1. Yes, it's stored in the cell-history and in the Activity Log.
2. If the rows are locked they can't be changed (depending on permissions). Make sense?

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!
