Submission requirements
Your Solution
Smartsheet templates are designed to help users improve how work is planned, managed, and visualized. Your template should be a simple, but powerful collection of assets that are easy to get started with.
Your solution should:
- Be created using core Smartsheet capabilities
- Include at least one sheet, report, and dashboard
- Have a few rows of sample data
- Be free of any personal or company information
- Thoughtfully designed for all skill levels of users
We’re excited to see what you come up with!
Sheets
Your template should include at least one sheet.
A well-designed sheet plays a critical role in helping you plan and manage your work. Sheets are the foundation of work, and where all of your data lives. The default sheet view is the familiar-looking grid, which you can easily customize with multiple column types, hierarchies, attachments, collaborative communication, and more. Other views, like Gantt and Card, can be used to enhance how your data is managed.
- Consider adding conditional formatting rules, leveraging hierarchy, and showing off formulas.
- Add filters and configure multiple views to create more ways to interact with your sheet
Reports
Your template should include at least one report.
A super-tool for saving time, reports are great for helping you look across your work to quickly identify need-to-know information – like at risk tasks, or items over budget.
- Grouping and summary can be used to enhance how information is filtered and more quickly understood
- Consider using grouped and summarized reports to power the charts on your dashboard
Dashboards
Your template should include at least one dashboard.
Dashboards are the visual layer of your work in Smartsheet. They help you summarize and share important aspects, such as project status or key performance indicators (KPIs), in a single place. They also help you stay organized by providing a central location for commonly used resources, like documents, links to frequently visited websites, and collections of sheets or reports.
- Consider using data from your sheets or reports to power metric and chart widgets
- Design a beautiful dashboard, or use one of our suggested dashboard themes, to create a delightful experience for your stakeholders
Sample Data
Your template should include a few rows of sample data.
We want to see facets of your solution in action! Adding a few rows of sample data will make sure features like conditional formatting rules, report filters, grouping, and summary, and metric and chart widgets populate.
- Consider adding enough sample data to cover your dropdown column values, drive formulas, and populate date ranges
- Please include enough sample data to power your solution's visualizations
- Make sure your sample data is generic and appropriate for all audiences
Sensitive Data
Your template should be free of personal or company related information.
As your solution may be published as a template in the new Template Gallery, it is important that any sample data does not include your personal or company related information.
- Double check feature areas, like comments, attachments, automations, and forms, for any sensitive information you do not want shared
- Please do not use real contacts in contact columns

Quantity-based Earned Value Template

“Now, using our new Smartsheet template, we have a much more accurate view of what was actually accomplished in a day or week for a given construction project because we’re tracking based on quantity. We get accurate reporting on our physical progress instead of having to go through and update a bunch of lines on a spreadsheet to update a schedule.” - Tanner Owens, Construction Engineer III
