Hi there, i would like to start an activity 10 days before either activity A OR activity B starts. How should i define the predecessor? BR Marco
its based off of row numbers. So if A was on row 1 and B was on row 2 you would put
1-10,2-10
exactly like that inside of the predecessors column
Hi Marco,
You can have the same predecessor for more than one task, however there currently isn't a way to define an OR criteria. Please feel free to submit a Product Enhancement Request to let our Product team know that you'd like to have this functionality in Smartsheet.
To represent a period of inactivity or overlap between the predecessor and dependent, you can use lag time. More information on this can be found here: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/765727-enabling-dependencies-using-predecessors

So “Activity C” is scheduled to start on April 20. Maybe you have an idea how to solve this problem. Thanks a lot in advance! Marco
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…
