Smartsheet Update Requests

A Project Schedule Enhancement

We’ve added automation to the ID Project Schedule to make it easier to keep task Status and % Complete up to date—no more logging into Smartsheet to update your tasks!

How It Works With Projects:

1. You’ll get a weekly email per project if you have tasks that are:

   • Assigned to you

   • “Not Started” or “In Progress”

   • With a start date in the past

2. The email links to a quick form where you’ll select:

   • Status (e.g., Not Started, In Progress, Complete)

   • % Complete (from 10% to 100%)

⚠️ % Complete reflects work done, not time passed.

Additional Notes

• No email = no updates needed.

• Most folks will only get one or two update requests per week.

• Editors only receive emails for writing or content coaching tasks.

• Each project sends a separate email (Smartsheet limitation).

• Please remember once your work for a sprint is complete to share it for Creative Review.
