New to Smartsheet: Persistent Field Labels in Board View
Smartsheet has released a major update to board view, which now features persistent labels for available fields. This functionality makes it easier to identify and understand the data displayed on each card, improving the user experience when working with tables.
How persistent labels work in Smartsheet
Prior to this update, field labels in board view disappeared when the user clicked to edit or view card details, which could lead to confusion or loss of context. With persistent labels, field names remain visible at all times, even while editing or browsing cards.
Benefits of Smartsheet Persistent Labels
- Clarity: Users can quickly identify what information is being displayed in each field on the card.
- Productivity: The permanence of the labels reduces the time spent understanding the data, speeding up the updating and analysis of the cards.
- Consistency: Maintains the visual standard and organization of tables, facilitating use by teams with different profiles.
