Alerting when a new line is added to a report

Ran Meirovich

Hi folks!

We have our product roadmap that is being accumulated from 200+ different smartsheet for the different product development teams.

My job is to build a technical support training curriculum for the new features that are being deployed so we can better serve our customers. I created a report that accumulated all the 200+ smartsheets into one based on a tickbox similar to all smartsheet that indicates if the feature is deployed or not.

The question is, how can I know when a new line is being added to my report, e.g., when a product manager is checking the tickbox on their private smartsheet to indicate if a feature is deployed to production or not? Is there a way to automate this?

Hi @Ran Meirovich

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, getting an Alert or similar in a Report is not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add an Alert Workflow/Copy Row or similar to each private sheet.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hi, @Andrée Starå thank you for that! Creating an alert on 200+ sheets is not something that I will enjoy very much :)
