Sight report - collapse and expand lists on the screen
Hi all, We're using Smartsheet sights for our weekly confcall on program progress in full screen "presentation mode", which is really doing great for us. One of the widgets in the sight is showing actual gantt charts per project and it gives us the right level of detail for the call. As the project list is growing rapidly,…

Due Date vs Traditional Start-End Dates in Gantt charts
I've used the Gantt chart functionality to good effect, although it seems to be a little too "smart" when you set up dependencies, durations, predecessors, etc. What happens is the dates get too rigid and "calculated", imo.

Critical Path View for Viewers
Is there a way to allow people with viewer access to a sheet to see the critical path on the gantt view? The project team would like to be able to view the critical path but not allow every person to have edit rights on the sheet. Any advice is appreciated!

Reverse Engineering a Timeline
Is there an easy way to reverse a timeline that was originally based off of a start date, but should be based on the end date? We plan a lot of meetings where the meeting dates are always moving and we want to adjust the way we have our timelines so we can change the meeting date and Smartsheet can fill in the dates of the…

Schedule Duration Issues
I've been working in a CPM schedule. The original showed a 141 day duration, starting 12/12 and ending 05/04. I'm updating some of the relationships as I had to rearrange the work pattern a bit, now my schedule shows 144 days, starting 12/12 and ending 6/29. Does anyone have an answer as to how I gained only 3 days…

Report Builder Gantt Chart is off
I've been playing around with report builder, to create a summary page of all my sheets. I have a check box I use to filter the lines I want on the report, which are typically the first/top line, which is the entire project. The Gantt view in each sheet is correct, but in the report, every line has the gannt shifted by one…
