Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does this work with Dynamic View?

    • No, this does not work with Dynamic View.
  • Can I share my sort settings with my teammates?

    • No, due to privacy and security concerns, we do not upload any of your settings, column names, or any data to our servers. SSFeatures saves all of your settings locally within your browser storage, which means that we do not have access to any of your data, and cannot share your settings with your teammates.
  • Can you tell me more about the security and privacy of this feature?

    • Absolutely. SSFeatures operates entirely within your browser, directly calling Smartsheet's application code. No data from your rows, columns, or cells is ever sent to our servers, ensuring your data remains private and secure.
