Letting only certain users see attachments

rvuich · 04/07/22

Hi everyone, I am wondering if there is a way to hide attachments from certain users until they have been reviewed. I am using smartsheet for a PBC list and want people to be able to upload items assigned to them, but don't want the external party to be able to see the attachment for that row until it's been reviewed. Is there a way to have it not show attachments for a row until that row has been marked reviewed or something like that?

Thanks!

Hi @rvuich

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

You could either have criteria not to include it in a report until it's reviewed or use a Workflow to copy/move it over to another sheet when it's ready.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Thanks for the reply! If I created a report, would I be able to hide just the attachment but still let them see the row? I think that's the most important part of whatever solution, is to leave to row exposed but hide the attachment until it's reviewed.

Thanks!
