Sheet Sharing
I have a sheet that I "save as new" weekly in one workspace. The workspace has 7 people but the sheet I share weekly has 5 additional people who do not need to be shared to the entire workspace but do need to see that sheet weekly. Any advice on how I can keep these people saved to the sheet without having to add them each week?

ricki ✭✭✭✭✭✭Couldnt you just add those five people to the sheet sharing of the weekly sheet?
-
Laura ✭✭✭✭✭✭Yes, but when I "Save as New" for the next week they have to be readded since they arent smartsheet users
-
J. Craig Williams ✭✭✭✭✭✭Laura,
You could create a new (second) workspace with the 12 shares (7 internal, 5 external).
The weekly sheet would reside there.

I thought about doing that but it would be just a workspace for that one sheet. The 5 external people dont apply to anything else besides that one sheet.
-
ricki ✭✭✭✭✭✭You can add them to your address book. You would still need to add them each week but they should be easily available on your list
-
J. Craig Williams ✭✭✭✭✭✭Laura,
I thought so. You just need to weigh the cost of sharing the new sheet vs your internal users having to go to a different workspace.

Laura ✭✭✭✭✭✭Ricki - They're in my address book. I was just trying to find a solution to not having to add them weekly.
Craig - I've decided to just export the sheet to PDF weekly and have one sheet. That solves some little inconviences I facing with the notifications, etc.
Thanks yall!

ricki ✭✭✭✭✭✭Do those 5 people need to edit the sheet or they just need it read only?
-
Laura ✭✭✭✭✭✭Ricki - They're Read Only
-
ricki ✭✭✭✭✭✭I wonder then if there is something you could do with a report rather than using the sheets
for example you can have a master sheet with all of the weeks items and add a column for week and then have the report filter by the max week or something and then just grant access to the report once
-
J. Craig Williams ✭✭✭✭✭✭ricki,
Reports require access to the sheet.
But if the Report was published, then anyone with the link will be able to access the sheet (read only).
If security is not an issue, then this may be a possibility.

I can't see any rows in your screenshot that should be colored differently. Parent rows can't be changed.<\/p>
Can you share more screenshots with the conditional formatting options used on a few child rows?<\/strong> (Delete\/replace any confidential\/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. <\/p> I hope that helps!<\/p> Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p> Best,<\/p> Andrée Starå<\/strong><\/a> | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD<\/strong><\/a><\/p> ✅Did my post(s) help or answer your question or solve your problem?
