Is there any way to add a widget that will pull up a spreadsheet, doc, etc. directly from a network drive or PC location rather than a URL or Smartsheet item?
I have used "browser options" in Excel to render a browser friendly version of chart or worksheet. There is navigation to open in excel. File is stored in SharePoint
Thanks!
Sorry Sheryl are you able to explain any further, I have the same issue and don't understand (want a simple link from a smartsheet dashboard to a local folder)
Hi Doug,
@Doug M
Not sure I follow!
Do you want to open the Dashboard from a local drive or have a local file linked to the Dashboard?
I hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!
Best,

I am running into the same problem. I am wanting to link a network drive to smartsheet. For example this drive:
N:\
It is browsed from the file explorer in windows, and is located on an internal network server.
Is this possible?
Hi @Alex Hoekstra
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
Would that work/help?
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

This is actually possible! I figured out a workaround today. It involves installing the “local explorer” plugin on Chrome, and setting up free webpages that redirect the URL to your sever path. One page for each path, but to me, it’s worth it! Even used SS to help batch write the HTML code to drop into the pages.
Seems somewhat safe since when I log out of my VPN, the option just errors out.

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…
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.
