"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."
Ari Diamond

"SSFeatures has been a game-changer for our Smartsheet workflows! It’s super easy to use and adds powerful functionality that makes automation and reporting so much more efficient. 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. Column finding/hiding is awesome! Keep up the great work - saving me hours!!!"

"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."
