Hi,
I have a list of adresses and would like to send an update request but without giving this person the rights to view the whole sheet.
Any ideas how to make this?
Thanks, Joachim
Hi Joachim,
If you send update requests they only get access to what you decide to be available in the request.
Would that work?
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic week!

Hi Andrée,
thanks for your kind reply to my question.
Unfortunately I have to give them access to the sheet minimum as a reader.
Without the access right they do not get the update request mail.
This means, that the form does what you describes, but they can open and read the whole sheet if they click the link they got in the footer of the update request mail.
Best wishes, Joachim
Happy to help!
It should work and if they aren't shared with the sheet they won't be able to access it.
Can you check the settings in my attached screenshots? Are your's set up the same?

Did it work?
Hi Andrée,thanks for your great help.
Unfortunately "unrestricted" is disabled by system admin :-(
best wishes, Joachim
I'm always happy to help!
I'll get back to you if I think of a workaround of some kind.

As a possible workaround, you could send out manual update requests.
Would that work/help?
Fine, this helps me for individual updates.
What I dis was an extra flag column and a worflow to send an update request to a certain email in another column if the flag is set.
This gave me the possibility to check the flags some lines and send all of them update requests if I save this sheet.
Because I have only a fes wlines your workaround is perfect and enough for me, because it sends update requests without the need to give them access to the sheet.
Thanks!
Excellent!
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.
Please assist me, I am having trouble with my smartsheet, I am on a paid pro plan, with 5 paid members, but neither I or my members can access or edit sheets. When I try to share the sheet, it says that I only have viewer access. My team members cant access the sheets at all. I renewed my subscription recently and it seems…
