When we’re developing our Smarter Apps we pay close attention to what the Smartsheet Community needs.

And our Smarter Dropdown List Manager is no exception.

5 Reasons to use Smarter Dropdown List Manager

Here’s 5 reason why Smarter Dropdown List Manager remains our most popular product year after year…  

1. Time Saving. Smarter Dropdown List Manager allows you to send a single list of options to multiple drop down lists and multiple sheets from one central point. You can specify individual sheets, or all of them, saving you time and energy.  

2.  Automation. Whether you are managing one project or one hundred, Smarter Dropdown List Manager gives you full control of your dropdown lists from one central point. Update the assigned to column on one sheet, and it will automatically update as many sheets as you need, without having to go into each sheet and manually make the changes. 

3. Manual Refresh. Normally the SDLM will update every ten minutes or so. But you can refresh manually any time you need by clicking on the manual refresh button on your Smarter Controls for Smartsheet console. 

4. Flexibility and Control. Use the Control Sheet to specify the source sheet and tell the system which column to use as the source data. Your destination sheet can represent an entire folder or workspace, giving you even greater control over your sheets.

5. SDLM is just the beginning. Our consultants can design and implement a range of enhancements to Smartsheet for less than you might think. Our support packages are tailored to your needs and support can be used in a range of ways to suit you.

Join us on Wednesday 21st July at 16:00 BST for a free webinar where we will be focussing on Smartsheet Data Collection: Forms.

During the demonstration we will cover the basics, and show you how to create a standard form, including how to: 

• Capture new data and update an underlying Smartsheet.
• Update the field properties by adding labels and help.
• Set layout options and default values.
• Adjust security settings, automated responses and design theme to make the user experience as straightforward as possible.  

We’ll also explore the Conditional Logic area where you can show only the fields, *headings or *dividers that are relevant.

Chief Smartsheet Solutions officer Debbie Sawyer will also present a run down on how you can use helper columns within forms to provide a set of dropdown values that relate to previous responses within the form, creating the appearance of conditional dropdown list values.

Clients are often asking us, “How can we use forms to UPDATE rows in Smartsheet?”  Smartsheet offers an Update Request function, however Update Request forms are not customisable. 

We have helped our clients resolve this issue by creating an updating form including conditional logic, by embedding webform technology into a Smartsheet solution.  Our CTO Dr James Harris will demonstrate how this is achieved and discuss the scope of possibilities this technology can bring. Read our case study on how we helped tech giant, Sony Electronics, with a bespoke webform solution.

As always, our team of experts will be monitoring the chat window and answering any questions raised within the demonstration allowing time for Q&A afterwards too.

We can’t wait to see you there!
