Smartsheet Certification Practice Exam

In which part of the sheet is the hierarchy visible after indenting rows?

1. Leftmost column in grid view

2. Primary column

3. System column

4. Row action indicators column

The correct answer is: Primary column

The hierarchy in a Smartsheet is visible in the Primary column after rows have been indented. When rows are indented to create a parent-child relationship, the Primary column reflects this structure by visually indicating the hierarchy. This is important for understanding the relationships between different tasks or items, as it allows users to see which tasks are sub-tasks of others directly within the Primary column. Each indented row appears nested under its parent, giving users an intuitive view of how items are organized within the project. This feature is particularly useful for managing complex projects where tracking dependencies and organization is crucial for effective workflow management. While the leftmost column displays basic information and other columns such as the system column and row action indicators might have specific functionalities, they do not show the hierarchical relationships as clearly as the Primary column does. This makes the Primary column essential for users needing clarity on task structures in their sheets.
