Edit reports on a dashboard
Request
We need an option for the report widget that would allow users to edit report rows while viewing them in the dashboard.
The problem I'm trying to solve:
I have a report widget on a dashboard that shows users their assigned tasks. I'm using the widget on a Dashboard to give the users one place where they can see and make status updates to the work they need to do.
I have to use a clunky workaround since there is no option to allow the user to edit their statuses directly in the widget on the dashboard(as shown in the attached capture). I have to train the users to click the widget, wait for the underlying report to open, make their edits in that report, save, and go back to the dashboard.
Needing to use this workaround means that
- I'll have to spend more time enabling people to use something that should be easier
- The dashboards are less sticky since users must leave them to do their editing tasks
- The reality of lack-of-simplicity of using Smartsheet dashboards may cause potential power users to go to other systems like Google Sheets which have a perceived easier experience.
