      Grid view is my go-to for sheets used to track my day-to-day tasks. Our team is starting to use the Gantt view for project management and communicating milestones to management.

      I use Grid view mostly for my project plans. Just makes it easier to see what I (and the team) need. Occasionally will switch to a different view, but it's pretty rare.

      I am sorry, but all of this is OVERKILL. TMI. Can't you summarize a monthly newsletter with links that interest us? MORE —> Well, but my britches. "You will shift to this new model at your first renewal date in 2025." Great. Keep it updated (no introductory talk, just post it) and "dummy proof" in a monthly newsletter for people like me. I do not want a weekly newsletter. TYVM.

      I'm defiantly a grid view girlie. The other views are great for projects that have big ideas, but the automation and the ability to manage complicated parts of a project work so well with grid. I'll hop to calendar or card, but grid is the best view for those details.

      I love grid view but as I learn more and create larger projects timeline view is becoming very helpful.

      Honestly, I love them all—it just depends on what I’m juggling at the moment. Can I just get all the badges?

      • Timeline View is perfect for keeping track of project requests at a high level.
      • Board View is great for managing workflows and progress.
      • Grid View makes it easy to track details and updates in a structured way.
      • Gantt View works best when I need a more detailed look at timelines and dependencies.
      • Calendar View is clutch for keeping an eye on schedules, time off, and scope creep—because time is money, and stakeholders definitely have thoughts on that.

      I use them all because each one solves a different piece of the puzzle!

      I'm all about the Grid View - being a huge fan of making excel do things it really shouldn't, I've definitely taken to the grid view and formula writing.

      Grid View is Best View in my opinion!📊

      It really helped my to understand how Databases are structured through a really good visual.

      It Depends. I prefer Grid! Sometimes Gantt for project plans.

      I mostly work with Grid View. Formulas and database style index match lookup all the time.

      I am a huge fan of Grid View! Nearly ALL of my solutions center around Grid View and I don't want to ever see Grid View go away. It has all the functionality I need, and I honestly find it so much more helpful and useful than the new Table View (I am not currently a fan, yet). I use Grid View for so many things, from budget tracking, professional learning tracking, new hire induction, metric sheets, etc., and helper columns and formulas are also a huge part of why Grid View is the one for me.

      As time permits and I can explore table view more this may change but for now I use grid view for almost everything.

      I'm a classic Grid View gal as our company transitioned from Excel to Smartsheet and at the time, that was the most direct correlation. I have recently started using Table View for some aspects of my projects and believe I could be swayed to prefer Table in the near future. My favorite new feature of Table View is the ability to customize date formatting. May seem like a minor item to some, but when a project spreads over multiple years, having clearly written out milestone dates for quick view confirmation is essential!
