We have just started our Free Trial of SmartSuite, and I'm trying to figure out how projects should be laid out.
In my mind, I'd like to group projects individually, like a "project folder" and SmartSuite gives me a ton of tools to do this super well. But the default/normal layout seems not to be that way, why? Plus, what's the best way to lay out individual tasks?
For example, for the Event Planning default, you get a ton of tables that provide you with good info, but none that give you a step-by-step planning guide that you might normally expect from an event planning guide.
I made my own Table (kudos to SmartSuite for having a great Excel import function) but it feels a bit wonky to have an extra table per event when the "Event Planning" solution seems intended to have potentially dozens of events.
Each event is a multi-year planning thing, with tons of little tasks, which to me feels like a big Table full of to-do items, either in a big long chain or in a few phases/lanes of work (contracts, branding/marketing, menu selection, etc) and these could be their own tables?
Right now we do this with excel spreadsheets, and each excel has a few pages that act as a booklet for the various tasks and records that go for a single event. That feels like a good solution to this issue, but I feel like there's a few ways to do this and I don't know which way works best for SmartSuite.
