Finding Column IDs in Smartsheet

SSFeatures provides a simple popup to find all of the column IDs for your sheet or report.

The Problem

Column IDs are essential when using Smartsheet Bridge, Data Shuttle, or the API. However, retrieving a column ID involves nine cumbersome steps, including executing an API call. See these instructions for more information.

While Smartsheet provides an interface to view sheet IDs and row IDs, there’s no similar feature for column IDs.

The Solution with SSFeatures

SSFeatures provides a "View Column IDs" button, offering a simple and efficient way to access all your column IDs. With just a click, this feature opens a popup displaying the column IDs for your sheet or report.
