Smartsheet View Admin

Admin guide

This guide is organized around the real builder tabs and control names so you can configure views without guessing what each section does.

How to use this admin

Smartsheet is still the source of truth. This app controls how live Smartsheet data is presented, filtered, branded, and optionally edited by contributors.

Main workflow

  1. Create a Smartsheet source.
  2. Create a view connected to that source.
  3. Configure setup, fields, filters, editing, and branding.
  4. Preview the output.
  5. Publish when the page looks right.

Before you start

  • SMARTSHEET_API_TOKEN must be valid.
  • DATABASE_URL must point to your production database.
  • If contributor editing is enabled, CONTRIBUTOR_SESSION_SECRET must be set.
  • If you use Supabase, backend-owned public tables must keep RLS enabled.

Important password note

Contributor passwords are stored as one-way hashes. Admins cannot view them. If someone forgets a password, use a reset link from the Contributors area instead.
