How to access Web URL/embedded widget?

Blain Tariku

Hello!

My organization has created a task tracking dashboard and we are looking specifically to add a widget that allows for information to be added to Smartsheets and task lists, through the dashboard, rather than having to open each individual smartsheet. I believe the "web content" widget will allow for this. The problem I am running into is how to access that widget. I have been granted admin access which I read is required for use of this widget, however, I still do not have access to this widget. It does not even show up on my list of widgets when editing the dashboard.

Is there another way I can get access to this widget?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi @Blain Tariku you may need to check with the account admin to ensure that the Web Content Widget is enabled in the Security & Controls via admin center (https://admin.smartsheet.com/manage/settings)

Thanks Chris!

Based on what we are trying to do with our Dashboard, I also wanted to confirm that this widget is the one we need to input information into Smartsheets via the dashboard. Is there another way to set this kind of thing up on our dashboard?
