Hi ,
I would like to automatically have a request to employees weekly that has their time card attached or embedded by a link for them to fill in their time for specific projects. I have looked into using a Update Request but I could not figure out how to create a rule which says to have it sent to the employees on the project weekly.
Thanks!!!
Renee
Hi Renee,
One way to do it would be to set up a weekly update request with a link to the form in the message. There are other ways to set it up also, but this is probably the easiest.
Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.

Would that work for you?
I hope this helps you!

Hi Andree,
Thank you for your help!! I am new to smartsheet and I cant find the Send Update Request drop down. i have attached the drop down list that I get under Alerts and Actions. Could you walk me through the process from the start?
Thanks!!
Happy to help!
There is another update request, and they are not the same.

Andree,
Thanks again for your help!! I got the update request set up and it went to my inbox this week and I filled out the form. How do I get it to update the request in a new row for next week? I noticed that it updated row 13 and next weeks update says update week 13 too. I need a new row for each week to track the number of hours different employees work on a project. Additionally, how do I make it so each employee creates a new row each week. Hopefully this makes sense.
Thanks,
You would need to have a row for each week or columns reflecting the changes for each week.

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…
