Smarter Dropdown List Manager allows you to send a single list of options to multiple\u00a0drop down lists and multiple sheets from one central point. You can specify individual sheets, or all of them, saving you time and energy. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong>\u00a0 Automation. Whether you are managing one project or one hundred, Smarter Dropdown List Manager\u00a0gives you full control of your dropdown lists from one central point. Update the assigned to column on one sheet, and it will automatically update as many sheets as you need, without having to go into each sheet and manually make the changes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> Manual Refresh. Normally the SDLM will update every ten minutes or so. But you can refresh manually any time you need by clicking on the manual refresh button on your Smarter Controls for Smartsheet console.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Flexibility and Control. Use the Control Sheet to specify the source sheet and tell the system which column to use as the source data. Your destination sheet can represent an entire folder or workspace,&nbsp;giving you even greater control over your sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> SDLM is just the beginning. Our consultants can design and implement a range of enhancements to Smartsheet for less than you might think.
