About this Integration

When you use Smartsheet with Lucid Meetings, you'll be able to:

  • Easily add Smartsheets to your Lucid agendas.
  • Share and display Smartsheets during meetings.

The Smartsheet integration relies on Smartsheet's "publish" option, which creates URLs that anyone can use.

Note: If you are part of a Team or Enterprise Smartsheet account and publishing has been disabled, you won't be able to share your sheets in this way.

When you press the Play button to show a Smartsheet during a meeting, Lucid automatically ensures that your sheet is published with a Read Only - Full link, and that this view is Available to Anyone with the link. We use this link to display the sheet within a meeting, so everyone in the meeting can see the sheet even if they don't have a Smartsheet account. When you stop presenting, we restore the sheet's original publish settings. 

When you "show" a sheet during a meeting, Lucid opens a frame with the sheet's URL in each participant's browser. This gives each user control over scrolling and display of the sheet. At this point you can switch to Edit by Anyone mode, which again affect the Publish settings in Smartsheet.

You can read more about publishing options in Smartsheet's help article, Publishing Sheets & Reports.

To show a Smartsheet during a meeting:

  1. Click the Show button next to the sheet's name. This will open a framed view of the sheet in each participant's browser.
  2. Optionally, click the Edit by Anyone button to switch to an editable mode, or the View Onlybutton to switch back.

TIP: Keep in mind that you are not sharing your screen. Each user's view is independent, so clue people into what part of the sheet you're focusing on.
