Does anybody out there track actual time worked to compare to planned time for a task? If so - how?
I generally have my durations populating my projected start and projected finish dates. I then have my people manually enter the actual start and actual finish dates. For immediate tracking I use RYGG balls in an At Risk Column coupled with a Status column for not started, in progress, or complete. I then use a nested if statement in the RYGG column to base criteria off of the status, projected start, actual start, projected finish, and actual finish. If I notice that projects are consistently behind or ahead of schedule, I will use some basic formulas to find the differences between actual and projected and adjust my template accordingly.
We do not track hours because of irregularities that we've seen when dealing with time in Smartsheets. Server time seems to vary from local time and reporting on these hours is tedious and difficult.
I don't track hours either. The way we work is multiple projects at the same time, so trying to track to that level of detail is almost impossible when jumping back and forth from project to project. I only track days.
Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
Has anyone found a workaround for sharing Smartsheet reports externally without giving access to internal data? I currently have to download the data and transfer it onto excel to create a pivot table for our client and I want to find an easier way to do so. I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
