What is a Shared Report in Smartsheet?

A Shared Report in Smartsheet is indeed a collection of data from multiple sheets that is shared without giving access to the original sheets. This feature allows users to compile relevant information from various sources into one cohesive report, enabling efficient collaboration and analysis without exposing the underlying data structures or all the details from those sheets.

This approach is particularly useful for project managers and stakeholders who need to review consolidated information without navigating through each individual sheet. The shared report maintains data integrity and security, as it limits access to only the aggregated information necessary for decision-making.

The other choices do not accurately describe a Shared Report's functionality within Smartsheet. For instance, while automated alerts and summaries of user activity provide helpful insights and notifications, they serve different purposes and do not encompass the essence of what a Shared Report is designed to accomplish.
