New Template Sets for these Workflow Categories! Let me know your thoughts!

Hunter Reed

Hey everyone! As a Product Marketing Manager here at Smartsheet I am always thinking about how we can produce content that helps you work more efficiently. Especially now, we are producing new Template Sets that will help you and your organization work remotely more efficiently. 

Let me know your thoughts, but we are planning on creating some content that aligns to the following workflows/categories:  

• Workforce Engagement (things like employee pulse surveys, remote employee onboarding or offboarding…)
• Supply Chain Management
• Collaborative Work Management in a Distributed Workforce (a.k.a day-to-day operations & processes for remote teams)
• IT Operations for a Remote Workforce (Digital Workplace Services, IT Support & Ticketing, Software Deployments)
• Develop, Communicate, Track, and Adapt Strategic Direction
• Business Model Transformation

Do you have any ideas for processes I should include in each? Any Smartsheet use cases you’ve used you’d like to share with others?  

Looking forward to hearing from you all! 

Hunter

Hi @Christine Rosenberg

You can hyperlink text in Rich Text widgets by highlighting the text and selecting the Hyperlink icon from the top menu bar:

This will bring up a pop-up window where you can either link to a Smartsheet Item or to a URL:

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

Cheers,

Genevieve

These are great! Thank you

Any chance you have a customer life cycle management set? Something to manage/communicate important contractual dates.

One other idea: a set to automate vendor/contractor liability insurance compliance. (Basically, an easy way to get through the annual process of requesting and organizing vendor insurance (Accord) forms.

These are great templates! Thanks for sharing. One idea I had is to add a template set for data governance needs - a set of sheets that contain inventories like business glossary, applications, interfaces, vendors, etc that are all linked together to help create a profile / dashboard for different uses. For example, once all of the information is put in there would be a dynamic / filtered dashboard for say each application that provides the key details of critical data elements, who the contacts are, which interfaces it has, etc. I know there are tools out there that can do this, however, in this crazy time our budgets for procuring new platforms is limited and we are implementing in Smartsheet as we speak. Thanks again for all of the amazing templates that are out there.

These are great templates. Maybe we could use some in future.

I'm working on one idea about planning out monthly marketing email templates. It'll be essentially a visual calendar and on the side you'll have available template images. One can simply drag and drop or copy paste the images of templates into respective days they want and build monthly email content calendar. I've built one in Google Sheets and now working on building one in Smartsheet. Here is a screenshot of what I have in Google Sheets.

So cool to see these templates!
