How to Add a Parent Row in Smartsheet

Quick summary

Adding a parent row in Smartsheet lets you organize tasks into hierarchical groups by using the Indent feature to promote the row above into a parent. This three-step process works directly inside any Smartsheet project grid view without extra configuration.

Steps

1. Inside your Smartsheet project, find and select a row that you want to become a child row.
2. Navigate to the top menu bar and click the Indent button to indent the selected row.
3. The row immediately above the indented row will automatically become a parent row in your Smartsheet project.
