We want to create a Smartsheet that is automatically populated with Subject, Location, Date, Time, Duration when we invite an alias to a meeting. Is anyone aware of a way to do this?

我们所有的项目我们会这样做/program meetings to help us provide corporate visibility to the meetings and attempt to avoid scheduling conflicts.

From this Smartsheet we could add additional information like meeting notes and action items and build reports that are then individual project/program calendars for folks to be able to view only events they are interested in.

@Ghaven<\/a> - The choice between Smartsheet and Jira really comes down to what you're looking to get done and who's on your team. If we're talking about a dev-heavy team working on complex, technical projects with tons of requirements, then Jira's a no-brainer. It's built for that level of detail and collaboration. But hey, if your team's a mix of tech and non-tech folks, or you're juggling different types of projects, Smartsheet's versatility and user-friendly layout could be the better route. Just keep in mind things like cost, how well these platforms play with your existing tech stack, and the time it'll take for everyone to get up to speed on a new system. So, it's not a one-size-fits-all answer; it's about aligning the tool with your team's specific needs and workflow. Hope that helps a little 👍️<\/span><\/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":[]},{"discussionID":110373,"type":"question","name":"10 digit fixed numeric field","excerpt":"Hi, I have few fields where I want to add a validation\/control user to force doing the correct entry - e.g. PO# shouldn't be more or less than 10 digits.

Thanks, Tim, for replying. Yes, I read more on the community about and found the same workaround....I already applied it.<\/p>

(my users are floor workers and works in the shift-only issue here is they don't check emails that often.) so this workaround has limitation in this case. But I'll mark this close as, no actual solution available in Smartsheet.<\/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":204,"urlcode":"forms","name":"Forms"},{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"formulas","name":"Formulas"}]},{"discussionID":110349,"type":"question","name":"Need to check and uncheck a box based on a percentage being above 0 and less than 100.","excerpt":"I have been trying different variations of the below but it always errors out until I start checking boxes and when the percentage reaches 100 the box is still checked.

If the % complete = 100% (which is a 1 in a formula), then uncheck which is a 0 value in a checkbox column. <\/p>

If the % complete is greater than 0, check the box (which is a 1 value). <\/p>
