Hi everyone! I've collapsed down a list of ideas that we have upvoted within our internal team and would appreciate your support too! Managing Tasks/Approvals Prevent Task from Being Marked as Complete If Required Fields on Custom Form Attached to the Task Are Blank Routing Custom Forms for Approval or Print to PDF Link Proof and Task approvals Task getting auto-approved when a Proof or Document associated with the Task is approved Managing Proofs Proof reviewer / approver delegation by current reviewer / approver Add/Edit Automated Proof Workflow from Inside the Proof Viewer New Proof: Change default from basic to automated Automated Proofs: Add option to create automated proofs as default or expose to API UX/Other/Admin Ability to export Custom Forms "https://community.workfront.com/discussions/community-home/digestviewer/Ability%20to%20report%20on%20issues,%20tasks,%20and%20projects%20together%20in%20one%20report" Ability to report on issues, tasks, and projects together in one report Allow screenshots in updates/comments Ability to convert the field type to another field type Make Custom Forms Appear as Tabs Implement Quick Pins for Custom Forms for shortcuts to Layout Templates New Home: Bring back Recent Updates I want to be able to set a default View/Filter/Grouping from Layout Template Ability to move from Sandbox to Production Mandatory logging of time on task Out of Office auto replies to directed updates Populate empty profile pictures with user's initials James Hill

Just had a user come to me with a pretty simple problem that I had trouble trying to come up with a simple answer. She has some overdue tasks and wanted them to populate on her timesheet. She knows if she logs time to them it will then be there for future days that week, and I showed her how to pin them so it's there until she unpins. I also showed her how to search and add tasks but that isn't the cleanest/easiest user experience. The idea I had seemed simple and was surprised it wasn't in the Idea Exchange. I want an "Add to Timesheet" button on Projects, Tasks, and Issues so while you are in the object you can just send it to your timesheet from there. Bonus if you can bulk add from a report list. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W51AAE/detail Another good timesheet idea I saw that was close was improving the search area to prepopulate with your assigned opened tasks https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PShAAAW/detail Monique Evans Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.

We'd love more "repeat" options for setting up repeating report deliveries. We have reports that we set up to send daily for a short period of time each quarter. We'd like to be able to select "Weekday" instead of daily, our users don't generally need these reports over the weekend. Also, to expand on that, it would be amazing to be able to set up a repeating deliver for example, every weekday, for 2 weeks, beginning the 3rd week of each quarter -- this one may be a bit of a stretch request, but a dreamer can dream! https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W69AAE/detail

Unless I'm missing something, it seems pretty crazy that I can't sort a Chart or Matrix report by the total . Please up-vote this! https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W7gAAE/detail Sean

Please upvote https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W8PAAU/detail If we're typing a new update, then want to jump down to the notify box we used to be able to hit tab and jump straight into that box and begin typing a name. But now if we're typing an update and hit tab, it goes to the text formatting buttons, and we have to tab through all of those before it moves on to the Notify box. I questioned whether this is working as designed with support and received the following response: " I've heard back from the product team that works in this area of the product. They informed me that the behavior with the tab key is a side-effect of some recent enhancements made to the updates feed. At this time, the team is considering this to be working as designed, but they did mention that they are still in the process of updating and auditing this area of the product. So although this is the current functionality, we may see the tab ordering change in the near future." Just seems counter-intuitive and inefficient. Our project managers use the Notify box a lot and find it frustrating.

Hi Everyone, I would like to ask to upvote this as I found an anomaly. In nutshell WF allows logging hours against parent taks while it's not possible on Planned. This creates a serious inconsistency because if a user is assigned to both, the hours logged to parent Tasks don't count in Resource Planner while the Planned will by design. To ensure all logged are captured in the planner and to keep consistency between planned and logged hours my suggestion here is to either disable logging hours to parent tasks and make them calculated similarly to the Planned hours or countthem in the Planner: https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W7vAAE/detail ImreMagyar VODAFONE Group

--- Give more clarity on what causes 'At Risk' on a project ---- https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W1sAAE/detail or search 'Hover over at Risk' A lot of my users become frustrated when their project shows 'At Risk' on Work Front. Without a deep knowledge of task constraints and date setting, it can be hard for users to work out what has made their project show as 'At Risk', particularly when working on a big project with hundreds of dates that need scrutinizing over to work out what has fallen behind or is pushing a predecessor task to be late. My proposal is that Work Front introduces a feature whereby the 'At Risk' status can be either hovered over or clicked on to show the task number or numbers that are affecting the project - instead of manually trying to search for them themselves. This would make it a lot easier for users to be able to get projects back on track and make my user adoption easier as users can get frustrated and disheartened when their projects are constantly at risk.

Here are two more for the consideration of the viewers: Hide or Edit Default Expense Types We're honestly just confused-angry at things like this that just seem obvious... https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W9DAAU/detail Disable Inline Editing at Column Level Just hoping to make things like this a tad less kludgy...sometimes text mode is more difficult than it really needs to be... https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W8jAAE/detail Kevin Quosig

Programming Style Commenting in Text Mode https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004W9hAAE/detail This would be a solution a great many problems for me when "fiddling" with work-arounds and trying-out changes to complex field/column setups, or filters and groups. I realized today I missed this common feature of programming/scripting languages. Kevin Quosig

A couple of ideas for promotion: Custom form data accessible from more screens within projects. It would be great if the request data was more visible from document or proof review screens so the reviewers have context to what they're looking at. It'll also help give insight into how the document/proof relates to other assets being requested (our requesters can request several assets in one form that relate to one overall program, and each asset gets its own project). https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000PSvFAAW/detail Make the custom message on a proof accessible from the proof viewer and from WF. It currently only appears in the email notification and buried within 'proof details' section of WF. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z0000004VooAAE/detail Janelle Hicks Lifespan Corporation
