Let’s see all the workshops!
Here is a list of Smarter Training pre-defined modules created by Smarter Business Processes. You will find that we cover all areas of the Core Smartsheet Application to enable team leaders and all collaborators the knowledge to design and manage practical business workflows and create dashboards for visuals and other reporting.
At Smarter Business Processes we recognise that every client is unique and so our Smarter Training offering is tailored to your specific needs every single time.
Discover our range of remote learning about the workshops
Our range of remote training modules span a wide and practical spectrum aimed at licensed users. Among the workshops we offer: Design Fundamentals; Introduction to Smartsheet; Utilising Smartsheet Forms; Managing Smartsheet Automations, to get to grips with the structure of the Grid sheet and its capabilities.
If you are happy with your sheet’s structure but need guidance on data automation via formulas, in the workshops we offer modules on: Understanding Smartsheet Logical Functions, using Enhanced Logical Functions, Nesting them into Ninja Logical Functions! Also pulling the right data from master reference sheets by really understanding how Smartsheet Look up Functions work.
In addition we offer: Enhancing IF Functions, Ninja IF Functions, Smartsheet look up functions, Using Smartsheet summary fields and functions, Smartsheet Dashboards, Introduction to Project Sheets and Resource management in Smartsheet.
Project management
Are you using Smartsheet for Project Management? No problem, we have this covered too, our Introduction to Project Sheets is a great starting place, followed by understanding how to get the most from the Resource Management capabilities to hand.
Dashboards
Finally, do you need to share your data on a set of Dashboards designed to meet analysis needs of different tiers of Management within your organisation? Learn how to gather data using Smartsheet Summary Fields and Smartsheet Summary Reports, or utilize your Lookup Functions knowledge in preparing a Smartsheet Metrics Grid for feeding a dashboard.
All created for you using examples of your data to make the training experience applicable and relevant to all attendees. And if you don’t find what you are looking for contact us. We’ll help you figure out what you need and design a set of workshops just for you. Don’t be afraid to ask. See our testimonials for genuine feedback from our clients.
