Can I Rename a Sheet Created by Control Center?

Ron B.

Hi,

I used Control Center to create a sheet for 50 projects. Now I need to rename that sheet. Can I do this in Control Center? If not, how do I handle renaming this sheet for all 50 projects? Can I manually rename all 50 sheets without messing up Control Center?

Thank you,

Ron

Hi @Ron B.

You can manually rename sheets that have been provisioned by Control Center as you would any other sheet in Smartsheet.

If you also want to rename the template sheet (in the blueprint) so future projects have the new name, then you will need to make sure that you run through the blueprint builder to update the template name in Control Center.

As a Moderator I'm able to see that the account associated with your email address is able to book Pro Desk sessions. This is where you can book a coaching session via scree-share to run through Smartsheet functionality, including specifically for Control Center. If you wanted to go through the process of renaming sheets with someone, you're welcome to book a session under the Control Center category from this Pro Desk booking page, here.

Cheers!

Hi!

I don't have control center but need to change a template that has a field that seems to rely on control center. It is =projectname#. Is there a way to change this field? I can change it in the sheet but in other areas of the project management template I downloaded the original name "Project Apollo" seems to still be populating.

Thank you!

Hi @elizabeth.brooks

The # symbol after a field name means that the formula is looking at a field in your Sheet Summary area of the sheet (see: Define Your Work With Sheet Summary)

This is where you will want to update the Project Name, which will then update all the formulas looking at that field. Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Genevieve
