At Curated Automation, we’re always on the lookout for tools and features that can elevate the way our clients work. Smartsheet, with its continuous innovation, remains a favorite in our toolkit. Recently, they rolled out two game-changing features that have caught our eye: Wider Dashboards and Zoom. These features are more than just visual enhancements—they're powerful tools to help you dive deeper into your data and make more informed decisions.
The Power of Wider Dashboards
Smartsheet's Wider Dashboards are designed to give you a broader view of your data, literally. By expanding the dashboard canvas, you can now include more widgets, charts, and reports, all in one cohesive view. This means no more toggling between dashboards or scrolling endlessly to find the information you need. For our clients, this translates into a more streamlined workflow and a better understanding of their data at a glance.
Key Use Cases:
Comprehensive Project Overviews: With the wider canvas, project managers can display all critical project metrics side by side. Imagine having your Gantt chart, budget tracker, and team workload all visible at once. This holistic view enables quicker decision-making and ensures nothing slips through the cracks.
Strategic Planning Dashboards: For leadership teams, Wider Dashboards can consolidate high-level data from various departments. By having sales, marketing, and operations data in one place, executives can better identify trends, align strategies, and make data-driven decisions.
Enhanced Client Reporting: For those in client-facing roles, Wider Dashboards allow you to present a complete story without jumping between different reports. Clients can see progress, performance, and projections all in one polished presentation.
Zoom: Bringing Focus to the Forefront
While Wider Dashboards provide the big picture, the Zoom feature lets you zero in on the details. Whether you're working on a large dashboard or a complex sheet, Zoom gives you the flexibility to adjust your view to suit your needs. This feature is especially valuable when you need to focus on specific data points without losing sight of the overall context.
Key Use Cases:
Detailed Data Analysis: Analysts can now zoom into specific sections of a dashboard or sheet to perform granular analyses. This feature eliminates the need to export data to another tool for closer inspection, keeping everything within Smartsheet.
Presentation Mode: When presenting to stakeholders, Zoom allows you to highlight critical areas of your dashboard. You can start with a broad overview and then zoom in to showcase specific metrics, making your presentations more dynamic and engaging.
Custom Views for Different Teams: Different teams have different needs. Zoom enables each team to adjust their view of a shared dashboard, ensuring everyone has the most relevant information front and center.
How These Features Benefit Curated Automation Customers
At Curated Automation, our mission is to empower our customers to work smarter, not harder. The combination of Wider Dashboards and Zoom in Smartsheet does just that. By providing a more expansive view of data and the ability to focus on what matters most, these features enable our clients to make faster, more informed decisions.
Whether you're managing a complex project, strategizing for the future, or simply trying to get a clearer picture of your operations, these Smartsheet enhancements are here to help. We encourage our customers to explore these features and see how they can be tailored to their unique needs.
