Smarter Dropdown List Manager

Smarter Dropdown List Manager

Control your dropdown list column content centrally

Update values in a master dropdown list that automatically updates lists in other nominated Smartsheets. Need some of the lists to be filtered? No problem.

Smarter Dropdown List Manager, part of our suite of Smarter Controls 4 Sheets, helps Smartsheet users perform routine tasks more efficiently.

Our Smartsheet Dropdown List Manager will enable you to send a single list of options to multiple dropdown lists in multiple different sheets all from one central point for convenience and speed.

You will see how easy it is to streamline your updates, and how editable dropdown list entries can be.

How to update Dropdown Lists in Smartsheet with ease

Using Smartsheet to control a number of projects can be time consuming.

This is especially true when you need to update changing criteria such as project leaders that can impact several sheets.

It is now easier than ever to update Smartsheet from a single list of dropdown options, even when updating a multi sheet solution. 

Smarter Dropdown List Manager allows you to specify individual sheets to be updated, or all the sheets in a folder, and even throughout an entire workspace.  

The Smarter Dropdown List Manager app is one of our Smarter Controls 4 Sheets Apps.

What is the meaning of Drop-down list?

Drop down lists are useful items in information management. They are lists of items that appear whenever a piece of text or a button is clicked. When you run multilayered smart sheets the management of the drop down lists can become a challenge in itself because of the layering of information.

The reason dropdown lists are used in the first place is to organise the collection and selection of  important data and maintain consistency in that data.

What types of drop down columns are there?

There are two types of dropdown columns – single select columns and multiple select columns. When you use a single select dropdown list, you can only choose one item from the list of values, while using a multiple select dropdown column means that you can choose more than one value.

The value section contains information that will be displayed in your dropdown columns. A value can include punctuation symbols, letters, numbers, and emojis. They are organized based on any order of appearance that you specify when you enter them in the values list. NOTE – Keep in mind that if you insert an email address or a hyperlink in the value list, it will appear as plain text.
