Contributor help

Use this page if you were sent a Smartsheet View link and need to update your own information.

You do not need a password to read this help page.

Who can create an account?

You can create a contributor account only if your @wsu.edu email address appears on the Smartsheet row in the configured contact field for that page.

  • If your WSU email is listed, you can create an account.
  • If it is not listed, you cannot create an account for that page.
  • If you think you should have access, contact gradschool@wsu.edu.

First-time access

  1. Open the page link you were sent.
  2. Select Contributor sign in.
  3. Select First-time access.
  4. Enter your WSU email address.
  5. Create your contributor password.
  6. Submit the form.

Your contributor password is separate from your WSU password.

Password rule

  • at least 8 characters
  • at least 1 uppercase letter
  • at least 1 number
  • at least 1 special character such as !, *, or _

Sign in later

  1. Open the same page.
  2. Select Sign in.
  3. Enter your WSU email address and contributor password.

Edit your information

  1. Find your row.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Update the fields shown.
  4. Click Save changes.

You can edit only the rows tied to your email address, and only the fields your administrator made editable.

Grouped contacts

Some pages use grouped contact editing for repeated people such as coordinators, assistants, or program contacts.

  • You will see one block per person instead of one long text field.
  • Use Add person to add another person.
  • Use Remove to remove one person.
  • Some groups also show Clear everyone.
  • If a group shows both name and email, both are required to save that person.
  • You do not need to type comma-separated or semicolon-separated lists when the grouped editor is shown.

When you save, the app writes the people back to Smartsheet in the same order they appear in the editor.
