Hi,
I have recently gotten into using Dashboards within Smartsheet, amazing. Is there a way to display today's date in a widget?
Thank,
Scott
I have just set up the following automation which hopefully will automatically refresh the date field in the sheet I am using to populate the date field on my portal

It's Q2 2024 - Is there a simple solution for adding the current date to the top of a dashboard?

If I am not shared the file with them, will they stay as a Smartsheet user with viewer settings but are able to view the file? Thank you!
I can create a Chart in Dashboard from sheet well but from Report is not working now. I just try with simple Report (just contain 2 column Primary and Number) but cannot make the chart. Is there any changes recently right, because I haven't worked with Smartsheet dashboard for a long time and I remembered that I could do…
I shared access to a user to a specific folder under workspace A (folder is 2025-09-Service Factory). However, I can see that he's shown to have access to all the other child folders under 02-ACTIVE Initiatives. Why is that when I only shared out one folder? Is there a way to only share access to users to ONLY specific…
