What is Smartsheet?

Smartsheet retires card view for Enterprise and moves AI into three named views.

An October batch ends a stretch of mostly navigation pages in this feed with real product changes. Card view is retired for Enterprise customers in favor of board view, and AI capabilities are now reached only from Table, Board and Timeline views. Around that sit a Workday sync through the Integrations panel, SharePoint file import, bulk attachment handling and new keyboard shortcuts in table view.

What is SmartSuite?

SmartSuite gives integrations their own identities and lets its AI run behind corporate gateways.

SmartSuite is a no-code work management platform adding developer and agent surfaces. Service Accounts now give integrations workspace-owned identities with scoped access, rotatable credentials, IP limits and named owners. Azure AI connections can also sit behind a corporate API gateway with custom headers and paths. Both follow Script Engine and Managed Secrets from earlier in October.

Smartsheet retires card view for Enterprise and moves AI into three named views.

◆ Current state

An October batch ends a stretch of mostly navigation pages in this feed with real product changes. Card view is retired for Enterprise customers in favor of board view, and AI capabilities are now reached only from Table, Board and Timeline views. Around that sit a Workday sync through the Integrations panel, SharePoint file import, bulk attachment handling and new keyboard shortcuts in table view.

◆ Where it's heading

Table view is being built into the primary work surface, with attachment management and shortcuts arriving there and AI access narrowed to a defined set of views. The Workday and SharePoint additions pull enterprise data in rather than leaving it to be re-keyed. The April Contributor seat was packaging; this batch is product consolidation.

◆ Prediction

Card view's retirement starts with Enterprise, so wider retirement is the logical next step, though the entries give no date. More table view parity work looks likely given how much of this batch landed there.

S7.5

SmartSuite gives integrations their own identities and lets its AI run behind corporate gateways.

◆ Current state

SmartSuite is a no-code work management platform adding developer and agent surfaces. Service Accounts now give integrations workspace-owned identities with scoped access, rotatable credentials, IP limits and named owners. Azure AI connections can also sit behind a corporate API gateway with custom headers and paths. Both follow Script Engine and Managed Secrets from earlier in October.

◆ Where it's heading

SmartSuite spent October building a programmable stack (hosted MCP server, secrets, scheduled code) and is now adding the governance large accounts require before they use it. Service Accounts cover non-human identity, and gateway support answers security teams that would otherwise switch AI off.

◆ Prediction

Expect script runs and MCP access to be tied to service accounts, and gateway support to extend beyond Azure connections; the entries show neither yet.
