Are you tracking projects in a sheet? Add a link to the sheet or an icon that links back to a sheet. Just want to show select data points from a sheet? Use the metric widget to show information from individual cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Need to embed a report showing the latest status across initiatives? There\u2019s no need to do extra work \u2014 simply add the report widget. You can also add rich text, titles, attach files, and display images to give others the context they need to understand your information. This makes reports faster with Smartsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that once you build your dashboard, it\u2019s always up-to-date. You don\u2019t need to constantly maintain it or manually enter the latest metrics into your dashboard, since your widgets are pulling directly from your data sources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-feature stk-block-feature stk-block stk-bbb2f70 is-style-default\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"bbb2f70\"><div class=\"stk-content-align stk-bbb2f70-column stk-container stk-bbb2f70-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-row\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-86eece6\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"86eece6\"><style>.stk-86eece6{align-self:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-86eece6-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-86eece6-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-8156691\" id=\"reports-made-faster-with-smartsheet\" data-block-id=\"8156691\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Reports made faster with Smartsheet<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-13acd3d\" data-block-id=\"13acd3d\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">The beauty of using Smartsheet is the ease with which you can delivery tailored reports, in sync with organisational databases, in real time to project teams. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-de6a0e1\" data-block-id=\"de6a0e1\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Whether you need to view data in real time to make informed decisions, or you need to review and input when on site and off line, for speedy data entry, Smartsheet will enable you to keep up to date and gather information in sync.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button-group stk-block-button-group stk-block stk-c234325\" data-block-id=\"c234325\"><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-button-group\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-button stk-block-button stk-block stk-d258c9f\" data-block-id=\"d258c9f\"><style>.stk-d258c9f{border-radius:25px !important;overflow:hidden !important}<\/style><a class=\"stk-link stk-button stk--hover-effect-darken\" href=\"\"><span class=\"stk-button__inner-text\">Learn More<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-b99226f\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"b99226f\"><style>.stk-b99226f{align-self:center !important}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-b99226f-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-b99226f-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-a21d74a\" data-block-id=\"a21d74a\"><figure class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-12191 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/smarterbusinessprocesses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/reports_2.jpeg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"faster with smartsheet\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-12191 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/smarterbusinessprocesses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/reports_2.jpeg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" alt=\"faster with smartsheet\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smarterbusinessprocesses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/reports_2.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/smarterbusinessprocesses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/reports_2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/smarterbusinessprocesses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/reports_2-768x432.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visualize Data With Charts to Make Decisions Faster with Smartshe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual representations of data can help you cut through the noise and quickly spot trends in your business.
