Printing Grouped Reports

Genevieve P.

Hi@JuliaEand everyone else on this thread,

We recently updated the Community and created a new area where you can create Idea posts to submit your ideas and feedback to the Product team in a more visible way than the previous feedback form. This allows other members to vote on your idea! Adding a comment to a discussion thread in other Community categories won't be reviewed by the Product team, but this Product Feedback categorywillbe reviewed monthly. (You can of course still fill out the feedback form linked above as well).

There is already a new Idea specific to Printing Grouped Reports. Please add your feedback on to this post!

Per the 1.5 years of queries being made, I believe there is suitable interest from the Community that Smartsheet provides the basic functionality of being able to print a Grouped Report. The system currently reverts the Report to a basic Sheet when Print is selected. This is not suitable or acceptable.<\/p>

We've stopped developing our Smartsheet documents due to this restriction and now sit in a holding pattern waiting for an update. - See Printing Grouped Reports - Page 3 — Smartsheet Community<\/a>.<\/p>","bodyRaw":"[{\"insert\":\"Per the 1.5 years of queries being made, I believe there is suitable interest from the Community that Smartsheet provides the basic functionality of being able to print a Grouped Report.

Hi@J Velazquez,@Ruben Ensalzado,@dmcintyre,@Eric OEC,@Mike S,@ChossCrimper,@KyleR,@JoeyBeans@KC Jones,@Raphael Lng,@Walter van de Laar,@Ramsay Zaki

I have created an Ideas post in the new Smartsheet Product Feedback section of the Community Site.

I would appreciate it if you head over there and upvote it;

Provide users with the ability to Print a Grouped Report — Smartsheet Community.

Whilst you can view it via that link, to vote you'll have to go to the home page and search down the list. (It's not too far from the top - Page 1 or 2 and select the Upvote icon.

Hopefully, with your support, we can get Smartsheet to update the system to provide some printing!

Add my vote for this function. There is no point to make a report and then not being able to export it and inform other people properly, you need to have the same view of the report. I think this is a basic function that must be available. Please add this function.

Hi @Richard Heath<\/a> <\/p>

I don't have an update for when or if this ability will be released. The best thing to do is to add your voice to this feature request by filling in the Product feedback form;<\/a> it's really helpful for them to understand each of your use-cases. <\/p>

In the meantime, you can print\/export the data on a grouped and summarized Report if it's embedded as a Report Widget<\/a> on a Dashboard, and you export the Dashboard instead. I hope that helps!<\/p>

This "solution" is only minimally helpful since the report widget will only allow 500 rows max.......

Hello

I totally agree with everyone's comments regarding the AMAZING Group headings & Summarizing headings but the inability to utilize them past just viewing on a screen. THIS is the data and KPIs we are wanting to print for or share with our teams and management.

Bring on the upgrade PLEASE!

Hello and thank you for your answer to my email regarding this feature.

However – I see looking at your forum, that you have had many. many requests for this (basic!) feature dating back to early 2021.

Looking at your release notes, there have been many, many product release feature since then, including Google Ads integration????

It does appear that Smartsheet, good as it is, is enhance with features that your development team consider to be important rather than actually looking at user requests, which is disappointing.

Considering the volume of requests for this (basic) feature, think that you as a company do at least owe it to your subscribers to at the very least look at this seriously and publish a release date as early as possible.

Your email answered;

“这个时候,内容没有the ability to include summaries or groupings in a report printed version. However, I've let our Product team know about your request. Due to the large number of variables they have to consider when choosing what to develop next, we can't confirm when or if this will be built, but we have let them know."

This seems like a standard answer rather than a serious consideration.

Please do post a reply to this for the satisfaction of your paying customers!

I would also like to be able to see the group information when printing. It is the whole reason I built the report is to summarize the data from the initial sheet.

Katrina

Add me to the growing list of users who could benefit from this!

Cameron McGregor

me also, good feature to have and one i need

mstevenson

We need this printing of grouping in reports now

Mgamache88

Is this still alive? or is there a newer solution?

aars0007

I too would like to print a grouped report. seems like this is taking a long time to get developed.

The lack of responsiveness to what should be a basic, fundamental function is so typical of Smartsheet. It is a reasonable user expectation to want to PRINT what you SEE (as its formatted) yet, Smartsheet is incapable of doing it.️
