What types of reports can be generated from Smartsheet?

The generation of reports in Smartsheet can be categorized into various formats that are suited for different needs. Summary, Detailed, and Grid Reports are specifically designed to address diverse reporting requirements within the platform.

Summary Reports provide an overview, aggregating essential information into a concise format, which is beneficial for management and stakeholders who require quick insights without delving into extremes of detail. Detailed Reports, on the other hand, offer in-depth information, making them ideal for team members needing comprehensive data for execution and oversight of tasks. Grid Reports allow users to view data in a tabular format, which facilitates comparative analysis and easier manipulation of data entries.

While other types of reports, such as daily, weekly, and monthly reports or performance and financial reports, can indeed be created, they do not fully encapsulate the structured reporting options provided by Smartsheet as outlined. Additionally, custom reports based on user preferences are useful but are typically built upon the foundational types of reports available, further emphasizing that the primary categories are Summary, Detailed, and Grid Reports. These options are integral to providing flexible reporting tools that meet various operational needs within Smartsheet.
