Hello,

Is there a way to rename a report through the API?

Thanks,

Nathan

    Hi Nathan,

    There currently isn't a way to rename a report through the API (no PUT command for reports yet).

    When you have a moment, submit your use case and need for this ability via the Product Enhancement Request form under Quick links on the right of the community site.

    Did this ever get resolved? When using the API to copy a workspace, I then use it to go back and rename the sheets, reports and dashboards using the Customer ID as part of the name. Doing it this way preserves all of the cross-sheet references and hyperlinks. But there's no way (that I can see) to rename the reports using the API...

    Looking forward to your feedback...

    Hi, same issue here... Is this missing feature planned?

    Hi Paul,

    I met with the API Engineering team at the Smartsheets Engage conference a couple of months ago and discussed this topic. Per our discussion, this feature enhancement is on road map, but no definitive date yet for when this will be available. I hope it's soon along with other topics we discussed.

    Sorry there's no better news...

    Best,

    Tim...

Here's another option:<\/p>

In your sheet, create a third section that adds the results of the first two. It would have the same rows, but the formula for each row would add the cells of section 1 + section 2.<\/p>

Add a helper column called ShowInReport as a Check Box and check all the rows in the third section. <\/p>

Create a report and tell it to show you only Section 3 (where the ShowInReport is true.<\/p>

I hope that makes sense.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","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":[]},{"discussionID":108888,"type":"question","name":"Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","excerpt":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","snippet":"I am wondering if it is possible to prefill an embedded form on a dashboard by referencing the form in the dashboard URL?","categoryID":321,"dateInserted":"2023-08-13T01:16:42+00:00","dateUpdated":null,"dateLastComment":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":161632,"insertUser":{"userID":161632,"name":"SteyJ","title":"Jacob Stey","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/SteyJ","photoUrl":"https:\/\/aws.smartsheet.com\/storageProxy\/image\/images\/u!1!5Zjq-V_rc4o!zmkrczO71bo!6kwXWfi9FUH","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T22:08:19+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭"},"updateUserID":null,"lastUserID":8888,"lastUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T23:49:27+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"✭✭✭✭✭✭"},"pinned":false,"pinLocation":null,"closed":false,"sink":false,"countComments":1,"countViews":29,"score":null,"hot":3383814580,"url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","canonicalUrl":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/108888\/is-it-possible-to-url-query-an-embedded-form","format":"Rich","tagIDs":[204,254,292,530],"lastPost":{"discussionID":108888,"commentID":390381,"name":"Re: Is it possible to URL-Query an embedded form?","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/discussion\/comment\/390381#Comment_390381","dateInserted":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","insertUserID":8888,"insertUser":{"userID":8888,"name":"Andrée Starå","title":"Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner | Workflow Consultant \/ CEO @ WORK BOLD","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Andr%C3%A9e%20Star%C3%A5","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/0PAU3GBYQLBT\/nXWM7QXGD6464.jpg","dateLastActive":"2023-08-13T23:49:27+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":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B"}],"groupID":null,"statusID":3,"attributes":{"question":{"status":"accepted","dateAccepted":"2023-08-13T15:45:48+00:00","dateAnswered":"2023-08-13T11:02:58+00:00","acceptedAnswers":[{"commentID":390381,"body":"

Hi,<\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now (if you mean that the Query should be included in the URL to Dashboard, it's only possible in the URL to the form), but it's an excellent idea!<\/p>

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea <\/strong>(If it hasn't been added already)<\/em><\/strong> when you have a moment.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

How would you like to use it? What's the use case?<\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p>

Best,<\/p>

  • Join formula of two sheets

    Hello - Shown is one sheet but two sources separate data . Can I combine the two counts anyway they have the same Primary column. I don't want to make a summary count of the two because I can't get rid of this in reporting. Can you assist me with the formula? Thanks.
