Checklists

If you run your schedule out of Smartsheet, how do you hand attaching checklists to certain tasks? For instance, we might want to add a Q/A checklist to a flooring installation task to check for items like finish, correct item installed, clean/well-done, etc. I would rather not add additional rows to the sheet to accomplish this due to the length of our schedule sheets.

Hi there,

Great question! I'd recommend creating a separate Sheet for your Q/A checklist. There are lots of ways you can then reference back to the checklist from your schedule. You could put a link to your checklist in the schedule or create a WorkApp where they both live for example.

I'd definitely recommend creating a Workspace for your project if you haven't already and storing all related sheets, reports, and dashboards in that Workspace.

Cheers,

Stephanie

Thanks, @Stephanie Viers!

Is there any way to prevent the completion of the task without completing the checklist?

You could create a formula that checks the completion of the other sheet and checks a box or marks a status as "Complete" if everything is done.

If you have a ton of projects though it will be tough to scale this. You'd want to look into Control Center.

@Stephanie Viers We are in the early exploration stages of control center so that sounds like a viable solution! Thanks for the idea!

Excellent! Just make sure you share this criteria around the checklist with your account manager and solution engineer :)

Sheet shows BLANK rows, there is a "MOVE rows" worflow, is that why?
Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Sorting not working?
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
