Shortcut widgets
The shortcut widget allows you to create a link or a list of links to specific URLs, files, or Smartsheet items.
To add a shortcut widget,
- Select + Add Widgets
- Select Shortcut Widget
- Select Add Shortcut
- URL: Specify the destination link and display text. This can be any type of link - internal sites, external sites, forms, etc.
- File: Click Attach to choose the file that is stored online that you'd like to attach.
NOTE: Only files that are hosted on a supported online storage drive may be attached (Google Drive, One Drive, Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Egnyte). - Smartsheet Item: Choose which sheet, folder, report, workspace, or dashboard to link to.
When others view your dashboard, only those users who are shared to the item will be able to access it. (For more information, see dashboard Sharing.)
