According to Forbes, Smartsheet has "a relatively simple" user interface.[1] The interface centers on "smartsheets," which are similar to spreadsheets typically found in Microsoft Excel.[2][3] Each smartsheet can have its rows expanded or collapsed to see individual tasks or large-scale project progress respectively. Tasks can be sorted by deadline, priority or the person assigned to them.[10] If a spreadsheet contains dates, Smartsheet will create a calendar view.[10]
