Quick summary
Creating a hierarchy in Smartsheet uses the built-in Indent feature in Grid View to nest rows as child rows under a parent. This lets teams group related tasks or data into collapsible parent-child structures for clearer project organization.
Steps
- In Smartsheet's Grid View, select the cell directly below the intended parent row.
- Go to the top menu bar and click the Indent button to make that row a child.
- Select the additional cells you want to nest further under the child row.
- Click the Indent button twice to move those rows one level deeper in the hierarchy.
- Once complete, a row hierarchy is created in your Smartsheet based on your selections.
