Can you make columns visible to certain viewers only
I have a smartsheet sharing with my customers and I would likeuse the modified by column for my reference but I do not want my customers to see that. They are shared as viewers only.
Thanks

You could create a custom report for them. We give data from a master sheet to several teams and only give them the columns that apply to each team on their relevant report.

This seems like a really easy answer - yes or no. But it's not quite so easy unless this is a matter of just wanting them to view the sheet. If that's the case - you can hide columns and you're done (except you have to remember they are there).
However, if you plan to use "Send Update Request" - they'll see all fields (columns) in the request including hidden.
If you follow Steve's suggestion and make a report that does not include the column - that will work. Again if you ever will have them update through a request - they will see all the columns of the sheet vs. being limited to those in the report.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the moment they are all viewers only, so if I can create a scheduled report that would be great. I will play around, I have had this a while and now finding some great uses for it for my programs. Thanks again

Since they are viewers only - consider "publishing" where there is a read-only - HTML or read-only FULL (reports) option. In either case, staff don't have to login to SmartSheet and the published sheet or report is always insync.

Awesome thanks. And I assume this saves on licenses as well...
