I don't actually have an issue (for a change) but I just wanted to put this out there for all the people who have to coordinate luncheons or small events on a semi-regular basis.
I LOVE Smartsheet for gathering all types of data, including meal orders. The web forms make it super easy and it SURE beats sorting through a bunch of emails or (worse) sending around a sign-up sheet. I also love to use Smartsheet for event registrations because I can export the sheet to Excel and use a mail merge for labels, name tags, etc.
On another note, I recently decided to move so I created a Smartsheet Apartment Tracker. I sent the web form to myself and put it on the home screen of my mobile phone. Not only does it help me keep track of my appointments, but, through the Web Form, I am able to make notes, attach pictures and rate the place real time as I'm viewing the unit. I created checklist columns for items I wanted such as dishwasher, appliances and laundry facilities, etc. I also created columns with drop down rating scales for things that were important to me, such as school system, neighborhood, parking, storage, highway access, etc. The ratings are automatically calculated to give me an average rating. With this Smartsheet, it was easy to keep track of all the places I've been as well as remind me exactly what it looked like.
Now that I have chosen a new place to live, I am currently using Smartsheet to coordinate my move and keep me on schedule. I LOVE SMARTSHEET!
I am happy to share my sheets with anyone who wishes to use them.
