New to smartsheets. How do I add in weekly meetings into a project (all on one line.) It is a long project and I don't want an entry for each meeting. Thanks in advance.
Hi Julie,
I'm not exactly sure what format you're using to add meetings into your sheet. If you're using a series of columns to log various different kinds of information, it's highly recommended to add them as new rows so that they are easy to read and logically divided.
You can use hierarchy in your sheet in order to group your meetings under a single project. More information on hierarchy is available in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/504734-hierarchy-indenting-outdenting-rows
If the above doesn't help, please provide me with more information on how you're adding projects and meetings to your sheet, such as what columns and column types you're using and whether this is added by a form or directly to the sheet.
I am new to Smartsheet as well, and I decided to use a separate sheet for a few reasons.
I wanted to create an agenda before the meeting, and I wanted to share the sheet with people that may not have access to the tasks & milestones, such as external partners. Also, I will track tasks that do not need to be added to the formal timeline.
I am using the following columns: meeting date, attendees, hot topics, tasks, next steps, priority, assigned to, due date, comments, status (in progress, complete, ongoing, hold, cancelled).
I use the hot topics column to create an agenda, where I can add topics as I think of them before the weekly meeting. I usually add hyperlinks to other sheets that are related to the topic so the I don't waste time finding the sheet.
I filter out those with a status of complete or cancelled so that i can keep the sheet updated with items that require follow-up.
Good luck!
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.
