Creating Filters on Sheets within WorkApps

Hello,

My team needs to be able to filter their assignments. I've currently got them set up to do all of their work in a WorkApp to keep it simple. However, we are not seeing the ability to filter. I've given each of them Admin access to assure that is not the issue. Additionally, I tried creating the sheet as a weblink, but I got an error stating "This domain has been restricted by your account. Please reach out to a System Admin on your account for further assistance." They directed me here. Any guidance or support would be appreciated.

    Hi@DrewSwick

    You should be able to create a filter in a sheet for personal use, even if you only have Viewer Permissions in that Workapp:

    Would you be able to post a screen capture of what you're seeing in your Workapp (but block out sensitive data)?

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the quick follow up! Here are a couple of screenshots demonstrating the issues I mentioned.

    Hi@DrewSwick

    For your second image, this is because you're adding the Sheet as a Web Content Widget instead of a Smartsheet item. If you're doing it that way, you'll need topublishthe sheet first (see here).

    That said, I'm unsure why the filter is greyed out in the Sheet in your scenario. What I would suggest doing here is edit the sheet directly in Smartsheet to add multiplesharedfilters. Then you should see them all as options in the Workapp to choose from. Let me know if that works for you!

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

Hi, <\/p>

Add a \"Created By\" column in your sheet and turn on \"Required smartsheet login to access your form\" in your form setting. So that whoever fills out the form, their email id will be automatically captured in \"created by\" column. This will replace your \"Requestor Name\" column. <\/p>

Thank you!<\/p>
