Smartsheet can be incredibly visual. Especially with Board view. And it’s fantastic being able to have images in sheets as once they are there, they can be used in reports, dashboards, update requests, and even used and cross-referenced in other sheets. But it’s usually a slow manual process to get images into cells on a sheet. Particularly where people submit photos in a form and then these are all attached and hidden from view.
Enter Image-to-Cell! Automate the process of adding images to your sheet using this fantastic tool. Simply set up the tool and tell it what you want. Is it just one image or 10 images? And do you want the images to go to specific columns based on their names? Or do you want the images to shuffle to the right each time a new images is added, until there’s no more space and so the oldest one drops off. Once this tool is set up, any time an image (png or jpeg) is added to the row, it runs and does the work for you. So think of the hours each month you will save not copying and pasting images into cells. And think how beautiful you sheets, boards, reports and dashboards can look with images added. And think how much faster information can be communicated with pictures. Now your smartsheets are really smart sheets.
Oh, and if you combine this with Bulk Attach to Row, upload hundreds of images to a sheet, and when you come back from your tea break, your sheet will be a sight to behold – with the names of all the images listed, no less! Now that’s what we call automagic!
