Setting up the Project Management Template

Let's dive right in! I'm currently logged into my SmartSuite account, and I'm going to demonstrate these new formulas using a project management template. If you want to follow along, feel free to download the template from the provided link.

One of the standout features of SmartSuite is its unique checklist functionality. Within SmartSuite, you can create checklists for each deliverable, streamlining your project management process. But here's where it gets really interesting – with the latest formulas, we can extract valuable insights from these checklists like never before.

The Unique Checklist Feature

Let's take a closer look at the checklist feature. Each deliverable in our project management template comes with a default checklist, containing various tasks and action items. Now, with the introduction of new formulas, we can analyze these checklists in ways that were previously impossible.

For example, let's say I want to know the total number of open items across all my projects. With the new checklist COUNT function, I can easily calculate this figure, providing me with valuable insights at a glance.

But we can go even further. Let's say I want to know how many open items are specifically assigned to me. Using advanced formulas, I can filter the checklist based on criteria such as assignee and due dates, giving me a personalized view of my tasks and responsibilities.

Setting Checklist Formulas

Now, let's walk through the process of setting up these formulas within SmartSuite. I'll demonstrate how to create a formula field to count the total checklist items, items assigned to a specific person (in this case, myself), and items that are incomplete and overdue.

By leveraging these formulas, we can gain deeper insights into our project status, identify potential bottlenecks, and ensure that tasks are completed on time.

Final Thoughts

In conclusion, the latest formulas unlocked by SmartSuite represent a significant leap forward in project management capabilities. With these powerful tools at our disposal, we can streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and ultimately, deliver better results for our clients and stakeholders.

I hope you found this overview of SmartSuite's new formulas insightful. Be sure to explore all the new features and functionalities that SmartSuite has to offer. And remember, whether you're a seasoned pro or new to the world of no-code automation, there's always more to learn and discover.
