inSmartsheet Product Feedback & Ideas

Enable Standard Browser shortcuts - Smartsheet has disabled some standard browser functions. This is one of the top 10 complaints I get from users.

  1. you can not right-click and open anything in a new tab or window.
  2. You can not hit Ctrl+Click to open in a new Tab.
  3. Mainly the left toolbar.

I would like to see all standard browser functions to be re-enabled.

We are also thinking about this idea! It's not currently part of our plan but we will make updates to this status if we believe we can make this idea a reality.

    If you are in a grid and want to open another one while keeping the first one open also, you MUST go back to the browse page, and only then can you middle click to open up multiple tabs.

    It would be very beneficial to permit users to middle click or right click "open in a new tab" on the home, browse, recent, etc.

    How has this taken so long to implement. Smartsheet is rendered so clunky because of the lack of this feature.

    It would be convenient and a better experience from a user perspective if links to files from the browse section opens the files in a new tab, it will lead to better user experience since right now the user has to duplicate a tab or go back from the current page to the browse window to access other files which are needed at the time or has to go through File -> Properties and open the browse section to open the new file. It would be efficient to open the file in a new tab with a single click rather than traversing or multiple clicks and ways. Preserving the browse window in a separate tab for the user to reference files to go back to multiple workspaces or even the same workspace.

    I agree! Open in an new tab should be the default for every link. When using several sheets, it's so frustrating to realize that a sheet has been closed because a link was clicked. I did set my browser to default to always open in a new link and this has helped a little. It would be great if all links and pages always opened in a new tab.

    Hi, I just want to add my voice to this request.

    The default action from clicking a link should always be to open in a new tab. It would actually be nice if the folder browser were separate on the left side and clicking on sheets opened then into a new tab. Thanks.
