I introduced document builder to my main intake sheet however when I go to generate a document from a report the fillable pdf. template I loaded is not there. The functionality to generate a document is active...do I have to load my template on every report? Any one else have this issue?

    Hi@John Littler

    Strange!

    I noticed it now, as well.

    If you haven’t already, I would recommend that you reach out to theSmartsheet Support Team.

    Let me know what you find out.

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    @John LittlerI noticed this same thing.

    I mapped the document again while in the report and now it shows up as a saved mapping on other rows in that report, even if I haven't created a mapping on that specific source sheet. The sheets are identical as they came from a template that was created prior to Document Builder being a feature.

    The saved mapping does not show up on that very same source sheet when accessing the Document Builder from the sheet itself. If you make a copy of a template sheet that has a saved mapping, the mapping is not available in the new sheet. I imagine the same for various reports.

    艾尔so of note, I am not able to select the option to attach the generated document to the row it came from when generating documents from a report.

    For my purposes, these two limitations do not make this function worthwhile as I would have to either re-map the document for every sheet I want to use it on, or download all the created documents from the report in a zip file and attach them individually to each row in the report.

    If you came up with a work-around, I'd be curious to know.


    Thanks,

    Amy

Hi @Matthew Drake<\/a> <\/p>

There currently isn't a way to overlay an Outlook Calendar on top of a Smartsheet Calendar; you can do the reverse, publish dates from Smartsheet into Outlook.<\/a><\/p>

Please provide your feedback to the Product team through this form, here.<\/a><\/p>

Thanks,<\/p>

Hi @Emmy Anderson<\/a> <\/p>

You are not missing anything. This is how DV works with dropdowns unfortunately. My work around in the past is to create an other option in the drop down, user chooses save. Then have logic built for a text field that appears so the user can input the values not present in dropdown. <\/p>

Hope this helps<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"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":319,"urlcode":"functionality","name":"functionality"}]},{"discussionID":66594,"type":"question","name":"Is there a way to use OR in a Dynamic View filter condition?","excerpt":"In a View, I can create a custom filter that selects where the Project Lead is \"Mike\" but I want to also say \"OR Debbie.\" Is that possible?
