Does Wisegrid have saved views like Smartsheet?
Yes. A Wisegrid view is a saved, tailored slice of a sheet. You choose which columns show and in what order, and you can restrict the rows so each person sees only their own. The recipient opens just that slice through its own link, not the whole sheet.
Can I share a Wisegrid view without paying for another seat?
Yes. Sharing a view creates a grant that binds a person to that one view. It never creates a membership or consumes a collaborator seat, so adding view recipients does not inflate your bill. The view itself is the access boundary.
How does Wisegrid show each person only their own rows?
You restrict the view by the current user against a contact column. On every read and every save, the server checks whether that column's cell contains the signed-in person's email (case-insensitive, and a multi-contact cell matches if they are one of the named contacts). Rows that do not name them are treated as if they do not exist, so nothing outside their slice leaks.
Can I hide sensitive columns like cost or an internal note from a shared view?
Yes. A view stores an ordered list of the columns it shows. Any column you leave out never reaches the recipient grid, their row detail, or their CSV export. The hiding is enforced on the server, not just in the interface, and a recipient cannot write to a column the view does not display.
Can I share a view with a whole team or company domain, not just one email?
Yes. You can grant a view to an individual email, to a group you manage, or to a whole company domain. A group or domain grant is one shared link, and the group membership or domain match is what gates access when someone opens it.
Is it safe to share a view with a group or a domain?
Group and domain shares require the view to be restricted by the current user first, so members can never see each other's rows. Wisegrid also refuses a domain share to a free or public email domain such as gmail.com, because that would hand access to anyone with that kind of address.
Can recipients edit through a shared view, or only view it?
Both. You give a recipient either view-only or editor access. An editor changes their own rows through the same per-row version checks the main grid uses, so two people saving at once never silently overwrite each other. A view-only recipient's attempt to write is refused.
What happens if someone opens a view link that was not meant for them?
The link is bound to the identity, group, or domain you shared it with. Opening it requires signing in, and if the signed-in account does not match, Wisegrid returns a clear message that the link is for a different account rather than showing any rows. The link is not transferable and gives no path into the rest of your workspace.
Can people add new rows through a shared view?
Only if you turn on new-item submission for that view, which is off by default. When it is on, each row a recipient adds is automatically stamped with their identity in the restricting contact column, so the new row lands in their own slice and cannot be assigned to someone else.
Does a recipient's CSV export include the whole sheet?
No. The export carries only the rows that person can see and only the columns the view displays, in the view column order. You can also turn export off per view. It never streams the full sheet or a hidden column.
Are sheet owners and admins also restricted when they open a restricting view?
Yes. The per-user restriction is uniform. Whoever opens the view, including the owner or a sheet admin, sees only the rows that name them. There is no admin-bypass branch, so there is no accidental path where an admin opening the view sees everyone's rows at once.
