Smartsheet Maximum Columns Notification - Avoid Outages
Never hit a column limit without a warning again!
- •Receive timely alerts before reaching the maximum columns in your Smartsheet, keeping your projects on track.
- •Customize your notification settings to alert you at your preferred usage threshold, such as 80% of the limit.
- •Fix common Smartsheet pain points in one place.
Smartsheet has strict limits on rows, columns, and cells. When a sheet hits a limit, it breaks without warning, and your forms and automations stop working. I'm going to show you how to get alerts before you hit a limit so you're never caught off guard. First download SSFeatures from ssfeatures.com. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click the SSFeatures button. Click \"View Sheet Stats\". This popup shows you the current usage of your sheet. Any stats that are close to the limit are highlighted in red, so you can spot problems immediately. Click \"Alert Settings\". Here you can customize your alerts. By default, SSFeatures alerts you when any stat passes 80% of the limit. You can change this threshold or disable alerts for specific sheets. Now when you open any sheet that is close to a limit, SSFeatures will automatically show you a warning so you have time to fix the issue before your sheet breaks. With this feature, you'll never be surprised by a sheet hitting its limit. You'll have time to plan a solution and keep your workflows running smoothly. Download SSFeatures for free at ssfeatures.com.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."

The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
