I am having a dramatic loss in picture quality when posting to the dashboard. Is anyone getting this as well? I even added an outline to the words and you can hardly tell in the dashboard.
It looks like your image is really small. 358px x 154px. I recommend enlarging it (notice it's pixelated on this discussion as well).
I've attached a sample that's larger.
I simply took a snip of both for this post. The original is much larger.
I am having the same problem.
I played around with this a bit more and found that when an image is uploaded that is larger than the intended size, SmartSheet doesn't do a good job of compressing the image into a manageable size. It was working fine on my laptop, but now on my desktop monitor, I experience the same issue of the image becoming grainy at smaller sizes.
I did try different image sizes, from 200px width through 1100px width, and none of them resulted in decent quality once reduced to a "button" size. And, of course, there's not any other good way of linking with text that looks nice.
As a workaround to this, you can use the Metric Widget to link to a cell that contains the text you want, and then make the interaction a hyperlink to the form you want to use. You can adjust the text font and color, and size up to 36.
Side-by-side comparison below (ignore the fact that it's different text).
That means I have to have a dedicated sheet just for that purpose. I do not like the idea of doing it that way. Also I can't use the fonts i want because they aren't supported by smartsheet.
I appreciate the help though
This workaround is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
I'm making a navigation center like the one featured at Engage 18, "Best in Class Project Management" presentation.
Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
