We are currently having issues with lines being overwritten when more than one team member is entering information into a sheet at the same time. Anyone else experiencing these issues?

I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…

I have an automation setup to escalate to managers when a step goes beyond 2 days. I have that titled as Escalation for Purchasing, Escalation for Planning, etc. In my trial run, 3 out of 6 showed up as Reminder: New part number request log ( this is the name of the sheet) The only thing we could see was that the ones that…
