Community Category: Best Practice

Genevieve P.

Welcome to the Best Practice Category in Community! 

With so many great discussions happening we see incredible solutions being built out by our members. This category is a place to find creative solutions, tips and tricks, and best practices. The Smartsheet Community Team will collect nominated posts and put them here in Best Practice so you can easily access this content.

Nominate a Post

Have you come across a post with a helpful solution? Nominate it to be reviewed as a Best Practice!

Here’s how to do that:

1. From the post, click Flag.
2. In the pop-up window, choose Other.
3. Leave a note for the Community Team to clarify why you think this should be a Best Practice.

Our Community Team will review the post and move it to this category, and the member who came up with the solution will receive extra points for their great contribution. Don’t forget to use the Vote Up button or mark the post as Insightful as well! 

Cheers,

Smartsheet Community Team

@Genevieve P

I think it's better to add an option in the comments to select the post as a "Best Practice" like what we do for VOTE & INSIGHTFULL, it's easier to rember than all that steps through Flag option, and when you receive this selection on any post you can evaluate it and decide if it's good enough to be in this category.

Hi @Bassam Khalil

Using the Insightful and Vote Up buttons will move posts to the "Best Of" page in Community (here), which we will periodically check for potential Best Practices posts. It would still be helpful to see your Report though, so that we can read your comment as to how that post helped you!

Thanks,

Genevieve

this is awesome, its like an ongoing updated Formulas Handbook (since most of these solutions WILL have unique and very creative formula combinations using 5+ helper columns just to get 1 number with a column fx ahahahah).

I dont see the Formula Handbook being updated or added too (wish it was), so this i believe will help us more especially since each time i see a unique formula created, i get creative and then wonder if it can be added too, and sure enough, it works lol..

teaching eachother new tricks justifies the request to ask for raises within our companies lol
