How readers without Smartsheet see the Interactive table

When the author sets up viewer access, the server serves the table using the author's stored Smartsheet connection. Three independent checks gate that: the requested sheet must match the sheet saved on the macro, the page the request comes from must match the page the access was set up on (or the reader must be able to read that page), and the macro's signature must verify.

A Confluence page showing a table of tasks with sortable column headers, a search box under each header, and rows for task name, duration, dates, percentage complete and status.
The rows are drawn into a plain table on the page, so every column carries its own search box and sorts on a click.

#Worth knowing

  • EU Smartsheet is only half supported: EU addresses can be embedded and auto-convert, but no EU account can be connected for browsing, publishing or interactive tables.

  • Everything except the Interactive table is an embed of Smartsheet's own published page. The app never rebuilds a full sheet.
