What is the best way for Adriana to provide her client access to live data in a project status dashboard if the client does not use Smartsheet?

Providing access to live data in a project status dashboard is critical for effective communication between Adriana and her client. Publishing the dashboard and sending the link is the most effective choice because it allows the client to view up-to-date information in real-time without needing a Smartsheet account. This method ensures that the client can see the latest status of the project, including any changes or updates, as they are reflected automatically on the dashboard.

When a dashboard is published, it generates a shareable link that can be accessed from any web browser, making it convenient for clients who do not use Smartsheet. This option leverages the capabilities of Smartsheet to provide a dynamic view of the project's progress, ensuring the client is always informed.

Other methods such as emailing the dashboard or creating a PDF would only provide a snapshot of the data at a single point in time and would not offer the live updates necessary for ongoing project monitoring. Sharing the Smartsheet application also would not work since the client does not use Smartsheet, making the published link the most practical and useful approach.
