HOW TO: Duplicate / Copy a Group
Smartsheet Support Documentation does not have a way to duplicate, copy, or export a group in admin.smartsheet.com/manage/groups There is, however, a workaround that doesn't appear to be posted anywhere so I'm sharing it here: Open the group in the group list at admin.smartsheet.com/manage/groups Select "View Group" Select…
Formula to add Months to Date
This is the simplest formula I can find to add Months to Date. This considers sum of months exceeding 12, converting it to January and adding 1 to the year. Where: Term column is the number of months to add, Date is the starting date. =DATE( YEAR([Date]@row) + INT((MONTH([Date]@row) + [Term]@row - 1) / 12),…
Pre-Filled Forms Using URL Queries: Tips and Tricks
Using URL queries to pre—fill forms seems to be catching on a bit more lately. There are a lot of resources out there, but they can be kind of spread out, so I figured I would start a thread that has some of the lessons learned, tips, and tricks that I have discovered along the way. Tip #1 [info callout] The first one that…

Why can't I enforce MFA on our org/team accounts
Hi, I have two situations: My admin account which I am using for this question does not have any MFA tab able to enable 2FA. I only have Authentication section on the Admin Center which is not helpful either. 2FA does not exist as well on my teams individual accounts which means we can't enforce any 2FA. Does this have to…
Calendar Apps not working properly after transferring to new Domain
Hello not sure if anyone has had this issue. My company was acquired and we are in the process of switching our email domain from example. @ABC (old company) to @XYZ (new company). The method we are using is adding @XYZ as and alternate email, then making it the primary. When I did this and then went into the Calendar App…
Guest User with Admin access can't edit the sheet
I submitted a ticket, but thought I would ask here. I am having an issue with sheets that I own (our org is on a Business plan). For the last two years, we have been using the sheets without an issue - our admin and many Editors (all shown as Guest since they are outside of our organization) were able to edit the sheets…
Admin Access
I'm one of two Admins for Smartsheet for the city government. We're very guarded when handing out licenses and have guidelines for Workspace creation. One of those guidelines is that they have to add both Admins to their workspaces (w/admin permissions) so that when they run into problems, we can easily help. We still get…
Guest User with Admin Permissions is unable to edit a Dashboard
I am the owner of a workspace that has multiple sheets and a dashboard. There are 3 Guests with Admin permissions for the whole workspace. They can edit the sheets, but not the dashboard. Is there a different type of permissions or some kind of limitations to dashboard editing for Guests?
Updated User Role/Permissions to allow Template Sheet Creation by ALL EDITORS/Admins/Owners
Allow Templated New Sheet Creation by ALL EDITORS/Admins/Owners. I understand restricting new grid/report/etc. creation WITHOUT A TEMPLATE to all Editors/Below. However, restricting Templated new sheet creation for Editors/Above defeats the point of creating a template to allow team based scalable project workflows. The…

Unable to reply to comment with "Edit by Anyone" Publish Option toggled on
Hello! Please help me settle a debate: If a sheet is set to publish and it's set to editable by anyone, can a viewer reply to an email to post a comment? OR do they have to always access the publish link directly to respond to the comment? Someone's "Viewer" collaborator on an asset is receiving a "Your recent reply…
Global Report - Change filter permission
I have a Program Report (dynamic report) where I would like a user to be able to change the filters. They are the owner and admin of this report; however, they are only editor in the source sheet that makes up this report. They seem to be having issues changing the filters. Do they also need to be admin to the source…
Sheet Not Showing in Automation Search
I've been given Admin access to a work app that the owner would like to have linked via a copy row automation to my workspace, but when I try to search for the sheet, nothing is coming up. I've tried refreshing, waiting a few minutes to see if it hadn't indexed yet, all without luck. Any ideas?

Add document to Portfolio Work Apps
I am trying to add a document into portfolio work apps, however it is saying I do not have permission to do this. I am the owner of the workspace the document is saved in and I am owner of the document. The document is a report and is based off a document I am also Admin on. I can add documents from lots of other…
Permission levels to recovering deleted items?
Hello Smartsheet Community, I have a plan admin that deleted items from a workspace (they are not the owner of) but when attempting to 'un-delete' they receive the attached error. They did a test and were able to recover an item they own by dragging into a space they own, but they do not own any of the important items…
No Longer Licensed User
I have an employee that was a licensed user and decided to pull the license and give it to someone else. I would like to give that employee View access (the one we removed their license from) but when they were a licensed user they created sheets, reports, dashboards, etc. I moved everything that they created over to me as…
Lost Owner Access to Workspace I Created, but Can't See Current Owner
Hi, I created a workspace some time ago, but recently my access changed (now viewer) and I can no longer manage or edit the content. I also noticed that the Owner field is blank (doesn't load), so I can't identify who currently owns it in order to request access. Is there a way to recover ownership or at least view who the…
