Hello, can anyone help me find a very similar template on Smartsheet?
Thank you
Maggie
Hi Maggie,
Similar to?
Best,

Hello, apologies - correct format attached now
No worries!
I don't know of any similar template, but it looks straightforward to create one from scratch. I can help you if you'd want to. I would need more information, and if you have and could share the original file, that will make it much easier. Let's start with you sharing the original, and I can take a look and see how much work is needed.
Would that work?

It does look pretty straightforward. At first glance it seems like the biggest "challenge" would be incorporating formatting since you can't merge cells in SS, but even that seems like it would be a pretty simple workaround with this particular form.
Maggie we have been looking after the NHS in Scotland for years now doing this type of work, creating some huge efficiencies over paper based systems.
The Health and Safety department has to collect this sort of data and collate lots of individual reports into senior management reports which this looks very similar to, so if you want to create a user friendly workflow for all contributing users it will save a great deal of time and mean your stats come in with little effort.
Or you could just keep it simple as suggested above and create a smartform to collect this info, but you will be missing some real benefits in not making it part of a workflow?
If this is something you would like, let me know and we can arrange a demo?
Hope that inspires you?

Creating a sheet where each point is its own column would (even though it would be a large sheet) give you the ability to create a form for users to input their data into. You can then use some simple formulas on a master sheet to collect the overall data counts based on date/quarter/year/etc. and/or use a report(s).
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…
