Hi, I have created a production schedule sheet which is viewed by the guys in the workshop. I'm trying to find the best way for them to give me updates on task completion. I dont want to give them editor access to the sheet because this them the ability to change the row details (resource). I have a %complete coulmn which ideally I would like for them to only update this coiumn.
I have thought about copying the whole sheet and linking cells back and forth but this would be very difficult to manage. Or to use a web form to update the column but I dont think this is possible.
Simple solution, give your workshop people Editor rights only, then Lock all the columns except the one(s) you want them to edit. Hope that helps? Richardr
I would do exactly that Kevin and also issue a protocol for collaborators to understand what is.... and ISNT expected of them when working with you. Most people appreciate that clarity especially when there are so many benefits to a range of collaborators with your work... ie dont let the team down! Good Luck. Richardr
Its not really how I want to do it as it puts my sheet at risk of people deleting rows etc. Perhaps Im using it a little different from the way it is intended. I personally like the idea of individual cells being editable/lockable. Or even using a web form to update existing rows.
It think if i was clever I could embed some code into our website to modify cells... But it should be simpler.
Ok, how about using a helper column with a 0 or 1 being input by your automation, and then use this as the trigger. So set the default on the column to 0, and if an attachment is there, leave it at 0. Then if an attachment is not there workflow will set it to 1, and that would trigger the automated workflow to run.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":334,"urlcode":"automations","name":"Automations"}]},{"discussionID":108318,"type":"question","name":"Count to show the High Priority Items","excerpt":"I would like to add a formula that counts the number of 1 - High, 2 - Med, 3 - Low in each row.","snippet":"I would like to add a formula that counts the number of 1 - High, 2 - Med, 3 - Low in each row.","categoryID":322,"dateInserted":"2023-07-31T18:51:49+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-07-31T19:48:33+00:00","insertUserID":121230,"insertUser":{"userID":121230,"name":"Kris Peeters","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Kris%20Peeters","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!zzjX8w2dwDY!5FVWucGjaaQ!-sgJ3Uz0EeO","dateLastActive":"2023-07-31T19:46:31+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":121230,"lastUser":{"userID":121230,"name":"Kris Peeters","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Kris%20Peeters","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!zzjX8w2dwDY!5FVWucGjaaQ!-sgJ3Uz0EeO","dateLastActive":"2023-07-31T19:46:31+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":4,"countViews":27,"score":null,"hot":3381664822,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108318\/count-to-show-the-high-priority-items","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108318\/count-to-show-the-high-priority-items","format":"Rich","lastPost":{"discussionID":108318,"commentID":388103,"name":"Re: Count to show the High Priority Items","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/388103#Comment_388103","dateInserted":"2023-07-31T19:48:33+00:00","insertUserID":121230,"insertUser":{"userID":121230,"name":"Kris Peeters","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Kris%20Peeters","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!zzjX8w2dwDY!5FVWucGjaaQ!-sgJ3Uz0EeO","dateLastActive":"2023-07-31T19:46:31+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭"}},"breadcrumbs":[{"name":"Home","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/"},{"name":"Get Help","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/get-help"},{"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"image":{"url":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/382QSC10NTUW\/count-jpg.jpg","urlSrcSet":{"10":"","300":"","800":"","1200":"","1600":""},"alt":"count.JPG"},"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-07-31T19:48:14+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-07-31T19:18:51+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":388092,"body":"
