When I delete a person from the system (end of contract), is the person that also deleted from all the automation rules?
- I get a large number of messages that a "workflow has become invalid".
Thanks for any advice.
Hi Victor,
No, they aren't deleted from the automation but depending on your Automation Permissions (Restricted, Limited, Unrestricted) they could still be part of the automation and receive alerts/actions.
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Thank you for your quick response.
To me this sounds like a bug .... When I delete a person from the system, I want to have them deleted entirely. After deleting I would not like to change all the automation manually for all the rules the person appears.
Or am I not getting it?
Happy to help!
I can understand that but because the permission can be set to send to anyone that's not part of your account it can't be deleted and also you might want to change them to someone else.
A possible enhancement could be to have an option when deleting the person to remove them from all Automation as well.
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
What do you think?

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…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
I have reproduced the following behavior in a validated Smartsheet application. User permission: Editor (not Admin) Row status: Locked (confirmed via row menu displaying "Unlock Row") Text, Date, Contact List, and Checkbox columns cannot be modified. Dropdown List columns remain editable. Selecting a new dropdown value and…
