Allow multiple sheets to be selected for the same new Alert

J. Craig Williams

Allow the same new Alert to be created for several selected sheets at the same time.

When starting a new project, I take a workspace and Save As New to get the sheets, reports, and folders. It would save time to be able to set up all the new Alerts on the new sheets at once.



This would not be needed (for this use case, but for others) if the Alerts were created with the Save As New.

For me, this would also not be needed for this use case if the Alerts could be created using the API.

This request has also be posted to the WebForm.

Thanks

Craig

Hi All—

We are working on improvements to the notifications functionality that will allow you to preserve them when you copy a sheet.

I don't have a timeline on this feature release.

Thanks for the feedback. We are looking at adding notifications to "Save As New", but I cannot commit to the release date just yet. Thanks for the suggestion on cross-sheet notifications. Our team will consider it.

Hi Craig, I'm circling back around on this topic. We've added the capability to include Alerts & Actions rules when both saving a sheet as New and as a Template. However, I'm interested in learning whether these capabilities completely alleviated the pain your expressed in this post, or whether there are additional unmet needs that we should be aware of. Please shoot me an email if you'd like to discuss further: scott.tewel@smartsheet.com. Thanks.

Scott,

I do not currently have time to participate. But thank you for asking and for looking at older posts.

No problem! If you have bandwidth down the road and would be interested in discussing, I'd be happy to. Thanks.
