I am working on a way to verify if data in all my sheets (about 10) is accurate, however, the trouble I am running into is the data is frequently updated. Is there a way to run a report that is like activity log within each sheet?
Thanks,
Amy
Hi Amy,
How would you decide if the data is accurate?
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help.
Have a fantastic day!

Hi Amy
Have you looked in our Smarter Data Manager feature?
https://www.smarterbusinessprocesses.com/smarter-mini-control-center-smarter-data-manager/
Might be just what you need - lots of other really excellent features in the SMCC too - worth a look
Kind regards

Hi Andree,
That's a great question.
I believe accuracy may be the wrong word. I am looking for data completion and congruent information.
We have about 10 different project sheets built with a template for building or renovating charter schools. Each template has a few reports to tell the Project Managers which dates are about to pass and that they need to update the task status, start or end date. I have another report that looks at the phases which break out the tasks into smaller portions. They would do the same and confirm if the phase status, start or end date need updated. We need data to be updated routinely for meetings on a weekly and monthly basis to ensure everyone is aware of the status and next steps on the timelines.
It looks like I can pull login reports and activity logs to capture what was updated and how often they are logging in. My other reports I described are attached as well.
Hi Debbie,
Thanks this is an interesting concept.
Has this platform been created because Smartsheets cannot add these functionalities or does not plan to add them? How does this system interface with Smartsheets, is it a separate link/signin that pulls data from Smartsheets?
Happy to help!
Zapier could be an excellent option for this scenario.
Another option could be the new premium add-on called Event Reporting.

Would any of those options work?
We have developers that are using the API data to create additional functionality that we know community users are asking for.
Richard Rymill would be more than happy to talk you through any queries you have with SMCC and all the features that come within it, his details are on our website.
Thank you for your interest.
Andree,
Where would I locate Zapier, is that an add on located on this site?
Zapier is a third-party integration/service.

Hope that helps!
Let me know if you have questions!
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…
