Each row in a smartsheet may have files attached to it, emails stored within it, and a discussion board associated with it.[1][2] When a new smartsheet is created, notifications are pushed out to staff to populate its rows and columns.[11] As information is updated, other smartsheets tracking the same task, project or data-point are updated automatically.[8][9] The service also has alerts for when a task deadline is coming up,[10][6] and keeps track of document versions.[6]
