How can a user adjust the outcomes of a report in Smartsheet?

  1. Add/delete rows from the report

  2. Apply conditional formatting to the report

  3. Change the criteria in the Report Builder

  4. Select Edit Report from the File menu

The correct answer is: Change the criteria in the Report Builder

The ability of a user to adjust the outcomes of a report in Smartsheet primarily hinges on the criteria defined in the Report Builder. By altering these criteria, users can refine what data is included in the report, such as filtering for specific rows, columns, or specific values within those columns. This flexibility allows users to create tailored reports that meet their specific needs, showcasing only the relevant information for their analysis or presentation. Modifying the criteria ensures the report remains dynamic and aligned with the user's objectives. While it may be helpful to manipulate the report by adding or removing rows or applying conditional formatting for visual emphasis, these actions do not fundamentally change the underlying data being reported. Similarly, selecting an option from the File menu does not offer a way to directly customize the report's content or structure. Understanding how to use the Report Builder effectively leverages the full capabilities of Smartsheet reporting, making it the most direct method for adjusting report outcomes.
