How to manage many identical Smartsheets?
I have been asked to develop a group of 70+ project trackers for departments.
Columns:
- Task, Sub-Task
- Category
- Percent Complete (roll-up)
- Start Date
- End Date
- Status
Each of the 70+ unit project trackers will dashboard.
Each of the 70+ trackers will contain ~50 tasks.
The columns are to be identical across sheets, but may change. Formulas may change. Dashboards may change.
Is there any way to specify global/shared columns across sheets? Do you recommend another way to approach this project?

Hi John,
A solution that would be perfect for this use-case is the premium add-on, Control Center.
Is that an option?
More info:
If it’s not, it’s essential that you structure everything thoroughly, but you’ll probably end up going to have to update each sheet some time in the future anyway.
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

@Andrée Starå - quite a while later I can report that Control Center is, indeed, the answer to this question.
