Show row attachments in report widget on dashboard

Michael Corry

When I create a report from a sheet, there is a column at the beginning of the report showing any attachments on that row. When I insert the report widget on a dashboard, I can't get the attachments to show up. I'd really like users to be able to access the attachments directly from the dashboard instead of having to open the report or go to the worksheet directly. Is this possible?

Hi @Michael Corry

Hope you are fine, Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available. You can submit a Smartsheet Product Enhancement Requests using this form. and you can link your report widget with the original report to make your user access the attachment

Hi @Michael Corry

I hope you're well and safe!

As a workaround, you can use the Web Content Widget instead, and then it will work.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic day!

Best,

This is something I have wanted for a long time! Adding as Web Content does work but for me has issues.

Longer Load time.

Formatting issues.

Information that I do not want to show is shown.

I hope this is on the future improvement list because it does not seem like adding that column would be very difficult.

I am facing a similar issue. I need the team to be able to view the report, review the row attachments, and then change a cell value, and I need them to do this on a dashboard. I can either have a report that can be edited but contains no attachments or I can have a report with attachments but in View only. And no I can't use Dynamic View here because I need to do this with 20 different source reports that have differently named fields. I can't combine them into one report because I will end up with 45 columns. This is so stupid.
