Hi
How can I break my sheet up into sections - a bit like swim lanes?
I want a solid line going horizontally across the sheet between rows ideally with a title
Is this possible?
thanks
Hugh
Hi Hugh,
Did you try out our Card View? Here's some information.
If that's not what you're looking for, please let me know how what you'd like would differ from this!

Alison,
Swim lanes are horizontal lanes diving the Vertivcal lanes.
For Instance, if your vertical lanes are "backlog", "In Progress", "testing", "done"
then the swim lanes could be "assigned user" so that now the users tasks are grouped for them in their own lane. If they perform the task and it is up to someone else to test, then they drag the card from their "in Progress" swim lane to someone else's "testing" swim lane. It is much easier to identify WIP limits in this fashion.

I have a need for swim lanes as well! Is this possible to configure or can we request a feature enhancement?

+5 for this. Is there any way for us to see if an enhancement request has been submitted and formally vote on it there?
Having horizontal swimlanes in addition to the vertical swimlanes would be fantastic! This is a much-needed feature that many other kanban boards support today (like Trello and JIRA, just to name a couple). Please consider adding this feature!
+1
When we can expect this feature?
We could really use this as well - versus maintaining separate boards for separate epics, or doing lots of automations to try to differentiate them within a kanban with only vertical swim lanes.
+1 for horizontal / secondary swim lanes
+1 does anyone have an idea when this feature will be available?
+1 My vote is for this feature.
Hi,
We are also at a stage where we are eagerly waiting for the Horizontal Swim lanes or secondary swim lanes to become available. Please let us know as soon as the feature is available. Thanks.
+1 for Horizontal and Secondary Swim Lanes feature to be added.
+1 for this. Horizontal Swim Lanes are an important feature of a Card type work management system.
SmartSheet, please provide a way to create horizontal rows in addition to the current vertical columns that can be setup based on task attributes. For example, set Columns to "Status" (Not Started, Ready, In Progress, Complete) and Rows to "Assigned To" (Jane, John, Unassigned [NULL], etc.)
This is something that any kanban board solution ought to have.

Am looking at alternatives to SmartSheet that have this feature.
Already filled the form, just want to +1 this
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…
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?…
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…
