What function does a Smartsheet dashboard NOT provide?

A Smartsheet dashboard primarily focuses on aggregating and presenting data visually, allowing users to monitor metrics, project status, and key performance indicators easily. It serves as a central hub for displaying summarized information, facilitating easier decision-making and project oversight.

Task assignment, on the other hand, is a function more closely associated with Smartsheet sheets rather than dashboards. In sheets, you can create tasks, assign them to team members, and track their progress through various status updates. While a dashboard can reflect the data associated with tasks (like the number of completed tasks), it does not facilitate the act of assigning those tasks directly.

Visual representation of key metrics and summaries of project status are core purposes of a dashboard, allowing users to see high-level information at a glance. Additionally, many dashboards can integrate with external applications to pull or push data, enhancing the overall functionality and interoperability of Smartsheet in a broader tech ecosystem. Thus, the function that is not provided by a Smartsheet dashboard is task assignment.
