4 Ways to break your team’s Email addiction. Yes! It’s possible with Tigersheet

Email has certainly changed how people communicate all over the world. However, it’s a notorious productivity killer.

Excessive email is not only a time suck; it can result in lost or outdated information, crossed wires, and duplicative effort.

The email has certainly changed how people communicate all over the world. However, it’s a notorious productivity killer. Excessive email is not only a time suck; it can result in lost or outdated information, crossed wires, and duplicative effort.

Moving your team away from email doesn’t mean you can’t capture and share exciting ideas, no matter where you are when inspiration strikes. With Tigersheet, you can explore at least four alternate ways to collaborate with your team without making them feel chained to their inboxes.

We’ve laid out some simple steps to help you ditch this broken, outdated system of communication and switch to something better—a centralized platform that combines the communication and data you’re communicating about in one place.

Brainstorm in the sheet

Most teams schedule time for face-to-face brainstorming sessions. One team member might take notes for the group, recording in their notebook or a shared, online document. While this technique might seem dependable, it can be a pain for the document owner to consistently loop in the right people.

Tigersheet empowers teams to collect, organize, and transition these ideas into actionable plans. Sheets are incredibly flexible and let you attach reference documents and images directly to rows. In addition, Tigersheet integrates with Gmail so you can always access your saved drafts, attachments, or templates on the go.

Once your team agrees on the plan of action and finalizes deadlines (with start and end dates), anyone with access can easily track progress through standard views, pivot view, Kanban report?card view, or timeline.

Document, Share or Update on the Go Through Mobile App

With Tigersheet forms, it’s easier for individuals to contribute ideas as they occur from their mobile devices using the Tigersheet mobile app. Forms can be customized and formatted to meet the needs of your project, and once submitted new information automatically populates in the sheet.

With all these options, your teams can combine brainstorming with productivity — and improve internal visibility amongst team members, stakeholders, and managers — into the decision-making process.

Parse that email to an Auto-Updating Sheet

Reducing email overwhelm can seem inevitable if a part of your business relies on data that you receive by email. For example, leads from a lead owner, product inquiries from prospective customers, order confirmations from your online shops, sales stats…and a lot more… And you need to copy this imported data from Email to your database or Excel?

If such is the scenario, how do you convert data trapped inside those emails to an easy handle format like an Excel sheet?  Well, we don’t want you to struggle with a tedious copy & paste manual routine anymore.

Ever heard of email parsers? You teach these programs how to recognize patterns in your emails, tell them what data is actually important and that everything else can be ignored, and then have them save only the important stuff.

Tigersheet can parse incoming emails for key information and import this email data into an auto-updating sheet. Yes, another super useful reason to stop sticking to your inboxes and say goodbye to heavily dependent email communication!

Make comments visible, traceable- Conversations in Tigersheet

Email overload can hinder innovation, making it tough to locate and compare ideas. With so much going on in a team’s day-to-day activities, it’s taxing for team leaders to remember who contributed what and nest relevant comments under the right topics. Finding the information, you need is like playing detective, which wastes the time you could use to develop and nurture the next steps in an important project.

If a marketing team member has a great recommendation for an email campaign, how do you capture and organize all ideas around that topic using email? With Tigersheet, collaborators can comment directly on a corresponding row in their sheet.

Team members can dive into the sheet and read the latest comments as they correlate to specific tasks or activities. All it takes is for the sheet owner to create a comment and ‘mention’ the designated user with an @ symbol and an automated notification is send as an alert to the person at his email.

For example: Here’s a comment targeted to a user @XYZ who is a team member in the organization.

@XYZ: Please look into the lead’s appointment scheduled post 20th October 2020 and update them in your logs.

Automate to avoid writing emails

Automating repetitive actions gives teams more time to focus on tasks that have a higher business value. Using Tigersheet, employees can automate update requests, approval requests, reminders, and notifications. Setting up automated actions means teams won’t have to manually send out follow-up emails to task owners.

Teams that have replaced email communication with an app built on Tigersheet can respond to updates and approval requests directly through the app, freeing them from needing to follow up via email.

Tigersheet helps teams realize their great ideas and move them along to make a lasting impact. We all know that ideas can be gone in a flash, so it’s important for your team to capture them before they disappear.

Have you ever tried building a web form right from the beginning?

Tigersheet Features

New to Tigersheet? Worry Not! 5 tips to take you from novice to advanced user( Part-1)

Are you new to using Tigersheet and a fan of getting work done more efficiently?

Do you want to add more value to your company? Do you and your team want to achieve better results, faster? 

As a new user of Tigersheet, I’ve quickly become familiar with the basics of Tigersheet and know it can help me accomplish all of the above. Now, I’m ready to dive a little deeper and enhance my knowledge of the platform to unlock even more capabilities that help me collaborate with my team and stakeholders, gain better visibility into projects and processes, and discover important information more 

I searched through our library of resources (so you don’t have to) and discovered these five tips to help you take your Tigersheet knowledge to the next level:

Use notifications and schedule automatic reminders to keep collaborators informed

For every update, your team receives notifications through email. Onscreen reminders are also available for them to keep up with happenings whenever they are on the Tigersheet interface.

You can even customize in settings and update your teams to receive mobile push and email notifications. These Notification are quite fruitful and they allow you to see and quickly act on other items — such as update requests, approval requests, and notifications — as you work in Tigersheet. 

You can set up and customize notification rules (triggers), and save time and work faster with automated workflows. With notifications, you can even stay informed about who’s making changes in your sheet.

Keep teams and stakeholders updated with reports

Creating reports from data stored is generally a tedious and labor-intensive job.  The good news is that with Tigersheet in place, you don’t have to worry about this! 

Tigersheet offers a wide variety of powerful reporting options such as Standard Views, Charts, Pivot Tables, Kanban Boards, Grouping Items and Filtered Views. This enables you to easily analyze your data and derive great insights. The intuitive drag and drop interface further make it super easy to construct the required reports in a matter of a few minutes!

With a handy Report Builder, you simply follow a few prompts to build and customize a report. 

Bonus tip: If you publish a report, the people you share it with can see the information without being shared with the underlying sheets, which can be helpful if you have data in the sheet(s) that shouldn’t be, or doesn’t need to be, shared.

Filters help get to relevant information in a sheet

Filtering in sheets might be the most useful feature you will discover as you embark on a journey with Tigersheet (of course there are many more!). If you’re one of those individuals who gets bogged down with a lot of data and is working in a sheet that has hundreds of rows and you’re overwhelmed by information, consider setting up a filter or two. 

For one of the sheets you need to reference, for example, you only care about the projects assigned to you. So, create a filter to show only those projects where you are listed as the owner, so instead of 157 rows, you’ll see a quarter of them. There are far more uses for filters; don’t be shy about trying them. 

Bonus tip: Sorting and filtering are two different features, so be sure to learn the differences.

5 Reasons You Should Import your Spreadsheets into Tigersheet Today!

5 Reasons You Should Import your Spreadsheets into Tigersheet Today!

By the time you discovered Tigersheet, you’d probably already made an Excel sheet or two (thousand). Perhaps you painstakingly copied and pasted all those spreadsheets into Tigersheet. Or, maybe — faced with the inescapable drill through Microsoft Excel — you left it alone.

We understand your pain.

We want to make it as simple as possible to turn your pile of spreadsheets into one magical Tigersheet application. So, now you can select “Import from Excel” and pick the Excel sheet you want. Within seconds, your spreadsheets are magically transformed (imported) into Tigersheet.

Still not convinced by the ease & simplicity? Here are five very specific reasons you should consider bringing all of your Excel sheets to Tigersheet

Microsoft Excel is slow. Tigersheet is Fast and Easy

The more data in the spreadsheet, the slower Excel is to respond.

Excel was only designed to handle so much data in each report. The problem is, the size of the report not only impacts the time it takes for the spreadsheet to load but also the time it takes to make any changes to the data within the document. As a result, many businesses start to use multiple spreadsheets or worksheets to make the data more manageable.

However, speed is never an issue with Tigersheet! Tigersheet is robustly designed to handle your data so you can seamlessly navigate between sheets and leverage the power of a custom made application that tailors your business needs. Since no coding knowledge is required..sometimes it is even possible to push your apps in a day!

No aspect of Tigersheet is static and inflexible. In fact, everything is based on configurations. Whenever you want to add or modify something, you can do so in a matter of minutes.

Familiarity of a Spreadsheet & Way Lot Smarter Than It

Spreadsheets: we all love them. They’re pretty easy to start and can help you structure your thoughts and your data in a straightforward way.

On that note let us break that to you Navigating your way around Tigersheet is super easy too. If you have utilized spreadsheets before, then you may find that this solution acts in a similar manner. This means that you can enjoy its simplicity while leveraging its power.

The fact that millions of people out there use spreadsheets to manage their data is a good start for us.  So, we make the experience application development a lot like using spreadsheets, something everyone knows.

Multiple Sheets= More Issues

What starts with a plain ‘data.xls’ modifies quickly to ‘data edited.xlsx’ and then ‘data final. xlsx.’ Then ‘data final new.xlsx’ pops up, followed by ‘Copy of data final new – edits Mike.xlsx.

And not to forget, all these spreadsheets will land up in your inbox at the same time. Soon, your team will spend half of their valuable time figuring out if they’re looking at the latest data or not and copying data between sheets to hopefully collect all relevant data.

But, Not to Forget…There You found Tigersheet. Your spreadsheets are now in an easy-to-find place — Tigersheet that neatly organizes into separate sheets and reports — and can be shared with teammates with a single sharing tab.

Drag and Drop Templates

Tigersheet opens a world of interactivity for your Excel Sheets For example, you can gather more feedback and judge the real-time sentiment of your data.

Create reports and analyze them through insights and stats shared via interactive dashboards

Using powerful reporting you create pivot tables, charts, Kanban,, or timelines and share them instantly across your teams.

More control over who can do what

With Spreadsheets, people can view, comment, or edit; there’s nothing in between. What if you want to let people add more items to a table, or give their feedback without risking them accidentally changing any of your document?

Tigersheet offers Role-based Settings, which gives you a lot more control over who can do what. This becomes crucial particularly in scenarios when you have several team members on board & it becomes imperative to protect sensitive data.

You can configure these to make certain that only particular users can launch certain tasks and perform specific actions.

Recent examples: Parse Email to Sheet lets you parse incoming emails for key information and import this email data into an auto-updating sheet. And so, you don’t have to struggle with a tedious copy & paste manual routine anymore!

And there are more things in the pipeline.

In the meantime, we’d love to hear your feedback.
