Course Description
Businesses rely on collaboration between individuals, internal departments, and external stakeholders. Smartsheet includes powerful sharing features to not only enhance collaboration between all of these stakeholders, but also the ability to limit which data is shared. Smartsheet supports sharing between Smartsheet users and allows the publishing of key items for sharing and collaboration with non-Smartsheet users. The module will answer such questions as how to allow view only access to specific items, how to publish an item for viewing by external stakeholders, and how to allow users to participate in sheet conversations but not edit data.
In these lessons, you’ll learn about the different levels of sharing permissions available in Smartsheet. We’ll also look at different ways to share items and workspaces in Smartsheet, including sharing with both internal and external stakeholders. Finally, we’ll explore some of the special sharing and collaboration features available in Smartsheet reports, such as how to share dashboards and how to transfer ownership of individual Smartsheet items or even entire workspaces.
